Engineered as a lightweight replacement for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD platforms, this mount is offered as AWD-11/1 by 3Racing. It integrates a compact motor plate with an aluminium heatsink to provide improved passive thermal control under repeated high-intensity runs.
As a tactical hop-up, the part secures motor location relative to the pinion and spur while increasing conductive surface area for heat dispersion. Install with standard workshop tools, verify motor alignment and pinion to spur mesh, and avoid excessive fastener torque to preserve dimensional integrity.
In race setup the mount acts as a thermal stabiliser rather than a torque enhancer. Reducing transient hotspot temperatures helps maintain consistent motor response across heats and supports repeatable lap times during practice and club competition.
