Key Features
- Precision Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight aluminium, this motor plate reduces overall vehicle weight whilst maintaining structural integrity, which translates to improved handling and acceleration performance in your RC monster truck or stunt vehicle.
- Anodised Red Finish — The anodised red coating provides not only the distinctive ARRMA look that matches your RC car's colour scheme, but also delivers increased durability and protection against corrosion and scratches during intense off-road use.
- Heat Dissipation Properties — Aluminium naturally assists in dissipating heat generated during extreme RC action, helping to protect your motor from thermal stress during long bashing sessions or competitive racing.
- Precision Screw Mounting Holes — Manufactured with precision engineering, the screw mounting holes allow for fast and easy servicing, meaning you can remove and replace your motor quickly without the frustration of misaligned holes or stripped threads.
- 1.18 Inch (30mm) Screw Pitch — The standardised 1.18 inch screw pitch ensures compatibility with ARRMA's 56 series motors and provides reliable fastening that won't come loose during high-speed runs or rough terrain bashings.
Technical Performance
This ARRMA Aluminium Motor Plate 56 Series is engineered to exacting standards for use with the 56 series motor configuration found in ARRMA's premium 1/5 scale brushless RC vehicles. The lightweight aluminium construction directly impacts the performance characteristics of your brushless RC monster truck or stunt vehicle by reducing unsprung weight, which improves acceleration, braking response, and overall handling dynamics. The 1.18 inch (30mm) screw pitch specification ensures precise motor alignment with your chassis, critical for maintaining motor-to-gearbox engagement and maximising power delivery from your brushless motor to the transmission. The anodised finish protects against oxidation whilst the material's natural thermal properties work to dissipate heat away from the motor during sustained high-speed runs with your 8S LiPo powered RC vehicle. This is a genuine ARRMA chassis spare manufactured to the same specifications as original equipment, guaranteeing fit and function on your compatible ARRMA models.
