Team Associated RC18T/RC18R Aluminum Motor Mount by 3Racing RC18-013/BU  [RC18-013/BU]

This aluminum motor mount is an RC-scale replacement part intended for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis, supplied under 3Racing part RC18-013/BU. Its role is to secure the motor to the chassis while preserving alignment under load and during setup changes.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with 1/18 scale maintenance: remove the original motor mount, align the motor spline with the pinion and spur gear mesh, fit the 3Racing aluminum piece, and verify motor-to-gear clearance before tightening. Use appropriate thread-lock where original hardware requires it and confirm the motor shaft remains parallel to the spur gear during final torque.

For tuning and setup, the mount contributes to consistent gear mesh and can reduce movement that affects drive efficiency and noise. When adjusting pinion size, gearbox shims, or motor position, re-check spur engagement and throttle/brake response to ensure the drivetrain behavior remains predictable.

As an RC accessory, this part is intended solely for model vehicles in 1/18 scale and for hobby use within model powertrains.
