Race Grade Motor Bay Reinforcement by 3Racing TA05-IF11/LB

The 3Racing TA05-IF11/LB aluminium motor cover plate is engineered for Tamiya TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis where thermal control and precise fit matter. Machined profile and mounting geometry deliver consistent contact and predictable heat transfer under race conditions.

Technical Fitment Details

Designed to mate with TA05-IFS and TA05-R motor mounts, the plate enhances lateral rigidity around the motor area and helps distribute heat away from the motor case. This contributes to steadier motor temperatures during repeated high load runs.

Setup and Installation Notes

For best results, install on a clean motor mount, torque screws to recommended spec, and verify alignment with motor can and pinion clearance. Periodic checks after competitive sessions ensure fasteners remain secure and thermal contact is maintained.

Does the plate require shims for alignment?

Shim use depends on your motor mount stack and pinion position. If gear mesh changes when fitting the plate, small shims can restore correct mesh without altering motor location.

Can this be used with high kv racing motors?

Yes. The plate improves heat dispersion for high kv motors, though adequate ventilation and ESC settings remain important for peak performance.

Should I apply thermal interface compound?

A thin layer of thermal paste at intended contact points can enhance heat transfer, but ensure any compound does not interfere with mounting or electrical components.

Will it affect chassis flex tuning?

Adding an aluminium plate increases stiffness locally. Consider this when tuning overall chassis flex and adjust shock and anti-roll settings as needed for balance.
