Fastrax Tamiya Cw-01 Aluminium Motor Mount FTTA127B

This motor mount is designed for the Tamiya CW-01 chassis, specifically fitting models such as the Tamiya Lunch Box and Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin.

Standard RC car tool sets, typically including hex drivers and screwdrivers, are usually sufficient for installation. Refer to your Tamiya chassis manual for specific tool requirements.

This motor mount primarily enhances durability and heat dissipation, which can help maintain consistent performance under load. Direct speed increases are not its main function, but preventing overheating can lead to sustained performance.

Aluminium is generally denser than plastic, so the aluminium mount may be slightly heavier. However, the increase is usually minimal and outweighed by the gains in durability and heat management.

It is recommended to check the tightness of all screws, including the motor mount screws, periodically. After aggressive runs or jumps, a quick check is advisable to ensure everything remains secure.

This mount is designed to accommodate standard brushed and brushless motors that fit the Tamiya CW-01 chassis. Always confirm motor dimensions if using a non-standard or oversized motor.

Double-check that the motor is fully seated in the mount and that the mount itself is correctly oriented on the chassis. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting surfaces. Verify that the correct screws are used for mounting the motor to the mount.

Ensure screws are not overtightened. If threads are stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or a thread repair kit. Always use the appropriate tools for screw installation.

While the aluminium mount aids in cooling, ensure the motor itself is not overheating due to gearing issues (e.g., tight mesh, incorrect pinion/spur combination) or excessive load. Check for debris in the drivetrain.
