Tamiya TT01 Alloy Motor Mount Plate with Heat Sink TT018 by GPM  [TT018]

Aluminium motor mount with integrated fins

This aftermarket plate is made to fit the Tamiya TT01 chassis and replaces the stock motor mount with a machined aluminium unit that adds a heatsink surface. The component is a direct-fit upgrade aimed at helping control motor temperature while keeping the motor square to the gearbox during spirited running or precise setup work.

In real-world setups the plate performs two functions: thermal management and stiffer motor positioning. The finned area increases exposed metal for passive heat dissipation, and the alloy construction reduces flex compared with plastic mounts. That extra rigidity helps preserve pinion-to-spur alignment for smoother power delivery on asphalt and indoor carpet.

Fitting is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with the TT01 layout: remove the original mount, position the motor on the new plate, and secure using the existing mounting points and hardware. No special tools beyond standard hex drivers are required, but confirm torque and gear mesh after the initial runs.
