Restore and Strengthen Classic Tamiya Buggies with 3451280

The Tamiya 3451280 motor plate is a direct-fit component intended for classic buggy projects. It is crafted to suit models such as the Thunder Shot and Saint Dragon, giving restorers and weekend racers a reliable mounting point for the motor while preserving the buggy's original look.

Fitment and On-Track Behaviour

This motor plate is engineered to match original Tamiya mounting geometry for Thunder Shot, Saint Dragon, Thunder Dragon, and Fire Dragon models. Correct fit helps maintain proper gear mesh and contributes to stable drivetrain performance during both casual runs and club racing.

Durability and Build Quality

Made to withstand typical off-road wear, the 3451280 motor plate delivers consistent alignment and strength for older buggies. It keeps the vintage aesthetic intact while offering the robustness needed for hard-packed tracks and rough backyard surfaces.

The plate is built for vintage geometry, so it fits the listed classic buggies directly. Fitting it to modern Tamiya chassis may require drilling or spacers and is not guaranteed.
Installation is straightforward with basic tools. Align the motor and check gear mesh before final tightening to avoid binding or premature wear.
You can mount many modern motors, but watch shaft height and pinion size to keep correct gear mesh. Some setups may need motor mounts or spacers to adapt to the older chassis.
