Overview
The Hot Racing SLF38X06 is a one-piece, CNC-machined aluminum motor mount that drops into the Traxxas Slash 4x4 LCG and Stampede 4x4 in place of the factory plastic mount, part 6860. Finished in blue anodize, it gives the motor and pinion a rigid metal platform instead of a plastic one that can flex and wander as power goes up.
The real upgrade is the bearing. Where the stock mount carries a 10x15x4mm bearing, this mount is machined for an over-sized 10x19x5mm bearing, and that bearing is included. It is a direct-fit hop-up that needs no modification to the chassis or transmission to use.
Key Features
- One-piece, light-weight CNC-machined heavy-duty aluminum with blue anodized finish
- Over-sized 10x19x5mm ball bearing included for much stronger support than stock (stock is 10x15x4mm)
- Rigid design intended for high-horsepower applications
- Direct-fit hop-up requiring no modification for use
- Replaces Traxxas factory plastic motor mount 6860
Performance Benefits
- A metal mount holds motor position under load, so gear mesh stays where you set it
- The larger bearing carries pinion side-load across more surface, which helps spur and pinion wear
- Aluminum pulls heat away from the motor can better than plastic
- Less mount flex means more of the motor's output reaches the driveline instead of being absorbed
Usage Notes
- Installation is required; set and check gear mesh before the first run
- Use a medium-strength (blue) thread locking compound on screws that thread into the mount
- Re-check mount screws after the first few packs, as with any metal-to-metal hop-up
