Overview
Unlock advanced gearing and improved motor cooling on your Traxxas X-Maxx with the Hot Racing Adjustable CNC 6061 Aluminum Motor Mount. This precision-machined two-piece motor mount replaces the stock motor mount with a stronger, more rigid, and fully adjustable platform — perfect for racers and bashers running custom pinion and spur combinations to chase top speed or low-end torque.
Integrated heat sink fins help pull damaging heat away from the motor can, an essential benefit when you're hammering an X-Maxx on 8S brushless power. Combined with a clean blue anodized finish and laser-etched Hot Racing logos, this mount delivers serious performance with show-quality looks.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum construction
- Two-piece adjustable design for custom gear ratios
- Integrated heat sink fins for improved motor cooling
- Blue anodized finish with laser-etched logos
- Replaceable M4 nylon-insert lock nut included
Performance Benefits
- Enables custom pinion/spur combinations for tuned acceleration or top speed
- Better heat dissipation than stock plastic-shrouded mounts
- More rigid platform for consistent gear mesh under load
- Long-lasting durability — survives the punishment of 8S brushless power
Usage Notes
Always verify gear mesh by spinning the drivetrain by hand after adjustment — there should be a small amount of backlash with no binding. Use medium thread-locker on motor screws. Replace the M4 lock nut periodically as the nylon insert wears with repeated removal.
