Overview
Transform your Traxxas Maxx monster truck with the genuine Traxxas Motor Mounts (front and rear) in stunning red-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium. If you own a Traxxas Maxx RC car and are looking to upgrade or replace your motor cradle, this is the perfect accessory to add both strength and style to your vehicle. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running a high-performance setup or a dedicated basher pushing your Maxx to its limits, quality motor mounts are essential for reliable performance and durability. These genuine Traxxas parts are engineered specifically for the Traxxas ecosystem, ensuring perfect factory fit every single time.
The motor cradle is the critical component that holds your motor securely in place whilst allowing for proper alignment and cooling. A worn, damaged, or inferior motor mount can lead to misalignment, vibration, poor power delivery, and ultimately, motor failure. That's why investing in genuine Traxxas replacement or upgrade motor mounts is one of the smartest maintenance decisions you can make for your RC car UK setup. The red-anodised finish isn't just about aesthetics – it's a sign of quality engineering and durability that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC hobby community.
Genuine Traxxas accessories are made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, to guarantee a perfect factory fit every time. When you're looking for replacement parts for your ready to run RC monster truck, choosing the manufacturer's own parts ensures compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match. These motor mounts represent the same engineering excellence and attention to detail that makes Traxxas a market leader in the RC industry.
Key Features
- Red-Anodised 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The motor cradle is machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, which is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that offers unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio and durability. The anodised finish provides superior corrosion resistance, protecting your motor mount from the elements whether you're bashing in wet UK conditions or racing in dry climates. The brilliant red anodised finish also looks fantastic on your Maxx, adding a splash of colour and style to your RC car.
- Front and Rear Motor Mount Set — This package includes both front and rear motor mounts, so you can upgrade or replace both positions in one purchase. Having matching quality motor mounts front and rear ensures consistent performance and stability across your entire Maxx chassis.
- Precision Machining — These motor mounts are precision-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment with your #3461 motor. Proper motor alignment is critical for efficient power transmission, reduced vibration, and extended motor life.
- Complete Hardware Package with Threadlock — The set includes all necessary fasteners: four 3x10mm CCS (cap socket screws) with threadlock and two 4x12mm BCS (button cap screws) with threadlock. The threadlock coating prevents vibration-induced loosening during aggressive driving, a crucial feature for any RC car UK enthusiast who pushes their vehicle hard.
- Compatible with #3461 Motor — These motor mounts are specifically engineered for the Traxxas #3461 motor, guaranteeing perfect fit and performance when paired with this motor. If you're upgrading your Maxx's powertrain with the 3461 motor, these mounts are an essential complement.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality Assurance — Being genuine Traxxas parts, these motor mounts undergo the same rigorous quality control and testing standards as all Traxxas components, ensuring reliability and longevity.
Technical Performance
The 6061-T6 aluminium used in these motor mounts is a premium aerospace-grade material that has been selected specifically for its exceptional balance of strength, weight, and machinability. Unlike cheaper pot-metal or plastic alternatives found in some aftermarket parts, 6061-T6 aluminium provides significantly superior rigidity and durability whilst maintaining a relatively lightweight profile. The precision machining process ensures that mounting surfaces are perfectly flat and aligned, critical for proper motor seating and long-term performance. The anodised finish adds a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and general environmental exposure – important considerations for anyone regularly running their RC car in the UK's often damp climate. When paired with the #3461 motor, these mounts provide a solid, vibration-free foundation that allows the motor to deliver consistent power throughout your RC monster truck. The included fasteners with threadlock are engineered to stay tight even under the intense vibrations and stresses of high-performance driving, preventing the common issue of loose motor mounts that can cause performance degradation and potential damage. The 3x10mm CCS and 4x12mm BCS screws are carefully chosen for their optimal strength and fit characteristics, and the threadlock compound ensures they remain secure whether you're doing weekend backyard bashing or competitive racing with your Maxx.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these motor mounts fit my Traxxas Maxx RC monster truck? — Yes, these motor mounts are specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx and are compatible with the #3461 motor. They are genuine Traxxas parts, which guarantees perfect factory fit and compatibility with your vehicle. If your Maxx is currently equipped with the 3461 motor or you're planning to install this motor, these mounts are the correct choice.
- Why would I need to replace my motor mounts? — Motor mounts can become worn, cracked, or damaged through normal use, accidents, or aggressive driving. A damaged motor mount can cause misalignment, vibration, poor power delivery, and potential motor damage. Even without visible damage, upgrading to quality motor mounts like these genuine Traxxas parts can improve performance and reliability. If you're customising or upgrading your Maxx's powertrain, new motor mounts ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
- What is threadlock and why does it matter? — Threadlock is a liquid compound applied to screw threads that hardens after assembly, preventing vibration-induced loosening. In high-vibration environments like RC vehicles, fasteners can gradually work loose without threadlock, potentially causing your motor mount to shift and damage your vehicle. The threadlock included with these screws ensures your motor mounts stay securely fastened throughout your driving sessions, whether you're bashing casually or running competitively.
- How do I install these motor mounts? — Installation requires basic mechanical skills and tools such as a hex key or screwdriver (depending on your existing fasteners). These genuine Traxxas parts come with full instructions, and the design ensures straightforward installation for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge. If you're unsure about installation, the team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance and support.
- Are these parts suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are genuine replacement and upgrade parts suitable for all experience levels. Beginners should not be intimidated – motor mount installation is one of the more straightforward maintenance tasks on an RC car. Anyone maintaining a Traxxas Maxx should consider having a spare set of quality motor mounts on hand.
- What makes these better than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered by Traxxas specifically for their vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fit and performance. These motor mounts are manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original equipment on your Maxx, ensuring consistency and reliability. Aftermarket alternatives may fit, but genuine Traxxas parts offer superior quality assurance, longevity, and peace of mind.
