Technical Performance

The FTX Outlaw Aluminium Motor Mount represents precision engineering in RC component design. Constructed from high-grade aluminium alloy, this motor mount combines lightweight properties with exceptional rigidity, critical for maintaining proper motor-to-transmission alignment during the intense demands of 1/10th scale RC buggy operation. The mount is specifically engineered for 23T pinion compatibility, which works in conjunction with your spur gear to deliver power efficiently from the brushless or brushed motor to the transmission system. The aluminium construction ensures that the motor positioning remains consistent even under high torque loads, aggressive acceleration and demanding terrain conditions that would cause flex or misalignment in inferior plastic components. This precision alignment directly impacts drivetrain efficiency, reduces power loss, minimises gear noise and extends the service life of your motor, pinion, spur gear and transmission components. For FTX Outlaw owners running either brushed or brushless motor setups, this motor mount provides the engineering foundation necessary for reliable, high-performance operation across all driving conditions and terrains.
