Overview
Take control of your gear mesh and motor mounting on the Traxxas Sledge with the Hot Racing Aluminum Sliding Rail Lock Motor Mount. CNC-machined from premium 6061 aluminum and finished with eye-catching black and blue anodizing, this two-piece motor mount replaces part of the stock Traxxas 9589 / 9584 motor mount with a far more rigid, more adjustable, and better cooling motor mounting system.
The clever two-piece design enables fast gear-mesh adjustment from the top of the chassis — no full disassembly needed — while the rail-lock secures the motor with two screws for a vibration-free hold under the high-power loads of the Sledge platform. Integrated heat sink fins help keep your motor temps in check during long runs.
