FAQs
What Tamiya models is this motor plate compatible with?
This motor plate is compatible with Tamiya TA01, TA02, TT01, TT02, TL01, DT02, DT03, and DF02 chassis models, as well as other cars using a 540-size motor.
Is this motor plate an upgrade for performance?
No, this motor plate is a direct replacement part designed for secure motor mounting. It does not inherently increase speed or performance.
What size motor does this plate support?
The plate is designed to accommodate standard 540-size motors.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
Basic RC car tools, typically including Phillips head screwdrivers and possibly nut drivers, are usually sufficient for installation.
Are screws included with the motor plate?
The product description typically refers to the plate itself. It is advisable to check the specific package contents or purchase necessary mounting screws separately if they are not included.
Can I use this on a non-Tamiya RC car?
Yes, if the non-Tamiya RC car uses a standard 540-size motor and has compatible mounting hole spacing, this plate may fit.
Troubleshooting
Motor seems loose after installation
Ensure all screws attaching the motor to the plate and the plate to the chassis are tightened securely. Check for any debris preventing a flush fit.
Difficulty aligning pinion and spur gears
Adjust the position of the motor on the motor plate. Most motor plates allow for some fore/aft adjustment to achieve proper gear mesh. Ensure the motor screws are not fully tightened until mesh is correct.
Motor plate cracked or damaged
Replace the damaged motor plate with a new one. Inspect the chassis for any damage that may have contributed to the failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This motor plate is confirmed to be compatible with Tamiya chassis models including TA01, TA02, TT01, TT02, TL01, DT02, DT03, and DF02. It is also suitable for any RC car that uses a standard 540-size motor.
Setup:
- Carefully remove the existing motor mount or the old motor plate from your RC car chassis.
- Position the new Tamiya Motor Plate onto the chassis, aligning it with the motor mounting holes.
- If using a new motor, mount the 540-size motor onto the plate using the appropriate screws, ensuring correct pinion gear mesh with the spur gear.
- Secure the motor plate to the chassis using the designated screws.
- Double-check all connections and ensure the motor is firmly attached and the gears mesh smoothly without binding.
Care:
- Periodically check the motor plate screws for tightness, especially after rough usage.
- Clean any dirt or debris from the motor plate and surrounding drivetrain components during routine maintenance.
- Avoid overtightening screws to prevent stripping threads in the chassis or plate.
