Tamiya TT01 Alloy Motor Mount Plate with Heat Sink by GPM TT018  [TT018]

Alloy motor mount with heat sink

This GPM aftermarket plate is designed for the Tamiya TT01 chassis to replace the stock motor mount with an aluminium unit that adds a heat sink surface. The component is intended as an RC-scale upgrade to help manage motor temperatures and keep the motor seated squarely to the gearbox during spirited driving or tuning sessions.

In practical setup work the plate serves two roles: thermal management and rigid motor positioning. The integrated fin area increases exposed metal surface for passively shedding heat, while the alloy construction reduces flex compared with some plastic mounts. That stability helps maintain pinion and spur alignment, which can translate to smoother power delivery on asphalt and carpet surfaces.

Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with TT01 layouts: remove the original motor mount, position the motor on the new plate, and secure using the original mounting points and hardware. No special tools beyond standard hex drivers are required, but check torque and mesh after fitting and during the first runs to confirm alignment and cooling performance.
