Team Associated RC18T Aluminum Motor Mount Upgrade RC18-013/SI by 3Racing  [RC18-013/SI]

Machined aluminum motor mount for RC18T

The RC18-013/SI is an aluminum motor mount made for Team Associated RC18T chassis, supplied as a direct replacement or hop-up for the small-scale drivetrain mounting point. It is a CNC-style alloy component intended to take the place of softer stock parts and give a firmer motor attachment without changing vehicle scale or electrical setup.

Compatibility is limited to Team Associated RC18T layouts, so confirm your chassis mounting pattern before you buy. The item is purely mechanical: it anchors the motor to the gearbox or mount plate and keeps pinion and spur gears aligned for correct engagement. This is an RC part and does not apply to full-size vehicles.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with 1/18 scale maintenance. Remove the original mount, reuse appropriate screws and spacers where possible, line the aluminium mount up with the chassis locating points, and tighten fasteners to a firm but careful torque to avoid stripping. Always recheck gear mesh and fine tune pinion position for quiet, consistent engagement.

As a tuning hop-up, this aluminum mount gives a more stable motor seating that helps preserve gear alignment under higher loads and during spirited driving, making it a solid choice for racers and weekend hobbyists wanting improved mechanical durability. It is designed for the RC18T family and for 1/18 scale electric truck use.
