Designed as an upgrade for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD chassis, this mount carries the part code AWD-11/2 and integrates a heatsink face to moderate motor temperatures during repeated short, high-RPM laps. The component is intended for hobbyists tuning lap-to-lap consistency on AWD Mini-Z platforms.
Compatibility is tuned to AWD Mini-Z arrangements such as MR-03 AWD. Verify mounting hole positions and motor clearance before committing to installation on other chassis types.
Technical fitment notes: remove the factory mount, align motor shaft and pinion engagement while seating the motor into the replacement bracket, secure the assembly with the existing chassis fasteners, and confirm unhindered rotation before powering. Precise gear mesh and motor positioning are critical for low noise and drivetrain efficiency.
Tuning impact: the heatsink provides passive thermal dissipation that can reduce short-run temperature spikes and help maintain more repeatable performance across multiple sprint heats. It does not alter gear ratios or electrical characteristics of the motor.
