Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Motor Mount for 23T Pinion Gear represents the engineering philosophy FTX brings to every component in their range of RC buggies and trucks. This chassis spare is manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of off-road driving, including high-speed runs, jumps, and rough terrain.

When your motor is perfectly positioned, you'll notice smoother acceleration, more consistent top speed performance, and reduced strain on internal components. The 23T pinion gear specification means this mount is calibrated for motors running this specific gear ratio, which is a popular choice for balancing speed and torque in 1/10 scale RC buggy setups. FTX has designed this component to integrate seamlessly with the Outlaw platform, maintaining the high build quality and performance credentials that have made the FTX Outlaw a favourite among UK RC car enthusiasts. Regular maintenance and replacement of wear items like motor mounts is essential for keeping any brushless RC car operating at optimal performance, and having genuine OEM replacement parts on hand ensures you can keep your buggy in top condition without costly downtime waiting for parts to arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a motor mount and why do I need one for my FTX Outlaw? — A motor mount is the bracket or assembly that holds your electric motor in the correct position and alignment with your transmission gearbox. It's critical because if your motor isn't perfectly aligned with your pinion and spur gears, you'll experience binding, grinding, inefficient power transfer, and premature wear on both the motor and transmission. Replacing a worn motor mount restores this precision alignment and brings your brushless RC buggy back to factory performance.
- Is the FTX Outlaw Motor Mount for 23T Pinion Gear compatible with both brushed and brushless versions? — Yes, absolutely. This motor mount (FTX8332) is compatible with both the FTX5570 (brushed) and FTX5571 (brushless) versions of the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy, making it a versatile spare part for any Outlaw owner.
- Can I use this motor mount with a different pinion gear size? — This motor mount is specifically designed and optimised for use with a 23-tooth pinion gear. Using a different pinion size may result in improper motor positioning, which could cause gear mesh issues and reduced performance. For different pinion ratios, FTX produces dedicated motor mounts designed for those specifications.
- How do I know if my motor mount needs replacing? — Signs that your motor mount may need replacement include visible cracks or damage, a loose or wobbly motor, unusual grinding or grinding noises when driving, or a noticeable loss of performance and acceleration. If you've had your FTX Outlaw for an extended period or drive it frequently, checking and replacing the motor mount during regular maintenance is a good practice.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement part rather than a complete kit, so it's intended for owners of FTX Outlaw buggies who need to maintain or repair their vehicle. If you're new to RC cars and don't own an Outlaw yet, you might be interested in a complete ready to run RC buggy instead. However, if you own an Outlaw and need spares, this component is straightforward to install.
- What's the difference between this and an aluminium upgrade motor mount? — FTX offers this standard motor mount as well as an aluminium upgrade version (also available at RC Model Shop). The aluminium upgrade provides enhanced durability and a longer lifespan, particularly if you drive your buggy frequently or on rough terrain. The standard mount is perfectly adequate for regular use, while the aluminium version is ideal for racers and serious enthusiasts.
- How much does this motor mount cost? — This genuine FTX replacement motor mount is available at just £1.75 (RRP), making it one of the most affordable and essential spare parts to keep on hand for your FTX Outlaw buggy.
