Lightweight Aluminum Motor Mount for DB02

The Tamiya 54403 Aluminum Motor Mount (OP-1403) is a precision upgrade that replaces the stock die-cast motor bracket on DB02 chassis. This anodized blue aluminium piece tightens motor shaft retention and helps the drivetrain operate with greater consistency.

Why Pick Aluminum Components?

Aluminum parts are popular in club and club-level racing because they balance strength with low mass. This mount increases robustness while trimming unnecessary weight, which can improve handling and reduce rotating inertia on the drive system.

Installation Advice

When fitting the aluminum motor mount, make sure mounting screws are torqued correctly and alignment is checked to prevent binding. Proper installation will deliver smoother power transfer and limit wear on gears and bearings.

Will this mount fit other Tamiya chassis?

This motor mount is machined for DB02 mounting points and dimensions; it may not bolt straight onto other models without drilling or spacer work.

How does aluminium affect gear mesh and backlash?

A stiffer motor bracket keeps the motor shaft in a consistent position, reducing gear slop. Check pinion and spur alignment and use shims to set proper mesh.

Do I need special tools to fit this part?

Standard hex drivers and a torque driver are sufficient. Use threadlocker on steel fasteners if you run on rough surfaces and recheck tightness after the first runs.
