Tamiya TA05-IFS/TA05-R Aluminium Motor Cover Plate by 3Racing TA05-IF11/LB  [TA05-IF11/LB]

Aluminium motor cover for TA05

This aluminium motor cover plate is an RC-scale accessory designed for the Tamiya TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis. It serves as a direct-fitting replacement part intended to secure the motor location on the chassis deck and provide a stable mounting surface while keeping the installation compact and serviceable.

Material choice and fit are the primary considerations for a cover plate: aluminium gives a rigid mounting interface that resists deformation under load and maintains alignment between the motor and spur gear. The plate's role in tuning is largely passive but important — by keeping the motor securely located it helps preserve gear mesh settings and consistent drivetrain behaviour during setup and track runs.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with TA05 layouts: remove the stock cover, confirm motor alignment and pinion engagement with the spur gear, then bolt the 3Racing plate in place using the existing mounting points. Check clearance to the ESC and any wiring to avoid abrasion, and verify that cooling airflow to the motor area remains unobstructed for on-track sessions.

Use this plate when you want a durable, low-profile motor mount solution that prioritises repeatable alignment and easy access for maintenance and tuning on the bench or at the track.
