Description
An aluminum bracket that clips in between the motor and chassis, holding the motor more securely and cushioning it against impacts from jump landings. Being metal, it also draws heat away from the motor casing and helps it dissipate faster, keeping the motor running cooler over a race rather than heat-soaking and losing output. Fits Zero, Super-1, Super-II, Super FM, Super TZ and Super TZ-X chassis; some bodies may need modification to clear it, and it cannot be used with kit-standard motors.
- Material: aluminum
- Function: motor retention plus heat dissipation
- Compatible chassis: Zero, Super-1, Super-II, Super FM, Super TZ, Super TZ-X
- Not compatible with kit-standard motors
