Aluminum motor mount for RC18T

The 3Racing RC18-013/SI is an aluminum motor mount produced for Team Associated RC18T chassis use, offered as a direct replacement/hop-up for the RC-scale drivetrain mounting point. It is a machined alloy part intended to replace softer stock components and provide a more rigid motor attachment without altering vehicle scale or electrical systems.

Fit and compatibility are specific to Team Associated RC18T models, so verify chassis layout before ordering. The part's role is mechanical: it secures the motor to the gearbox/plate area and controls alignment for the pinion and spur engagement. Because this is an RC accessory, it does not affect real-world vehicles.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with small-scale RC maintenance. Remove the stock mount, transfer any required screws and spacers from the original part, position the aluminum mount to match the chassis locating points, and torque the fasteners to a firm but not excessive setting to avoid thread damage. Check gear mesh after installation and adjust pinion position as needed for a quiet, consistent meshing.

As a tuning item, the aluminum mount offers a more stable attachment point that can help keep gear alignment under higher loads and during aggressive driving, making it useful for racers and hobbyists who want a durable mechanical upgrade. It is compatible only within the RC18T platform family and intended for 1/18 scale electric truck applications.
