Overview
The Tamiya Aluminum Motor Plate (Type 540 Size/Blue) is a precision-machined upgrade component designed to replace standard plastic motor plates in RC vehicles equipped with 540-size motors. Originally included with the DF-03 Heat Sink Bar Set (53924), this blue anodized aluminum plate is now available separately for builders seeking improved thermal management and fine motor positioning adjustments.
At just 0.5mm thick, this versatile plate can serve dual purposes: as a direct replacement for kit-standard motor plates to enhance heat dissipation, or as a precision spacer for fine-tuning motor position and gear mesh. The attractive blue anodized finish adds a premium appearance to any RC build.
