What Is the Point for a HD motor plate on Axial trany?

[alexchen86]

So is this more of a bling bling aesthetic upgrade or is it worth the money?

Lots of companies have been producing them ever since the AX10/SCX10 trannies were released a while back....the only reason I would use one is if I was running a hot brushless or hot brushed motor to do FOFF style events where there is much more heat generated than crawling course to course with breaks in between.

I read around that they are lighter, stronger, and dissipate heat better especially due to the fins compared to the stock aluminum versions.

Is this really a worthwhile upgrade or more of a show piece? I'm considering putting one in my Wraith that runs a BRXL on 3s w/ccbec for a 7950TH set at 7.4V. Reason being the temp is about 10 degrees more than I'm comfortable with after a 20-25 min run including hard acceleration, breaking and speed blasting in dirt.

For around $35-$40 is there a much better upgrade to get maybe like sways where the upgrade is immediately noticeable?

Also anyone actually had a hard enough hit to bend the stock one???

You've told us everything about the electrics except which motor you are running



Not to sure where you are getting $35-40 from but here is the best HD motor plate on the market. its $24





Yes they are worth the money especially when running high powered motors. Not only for heat generation but because of the torque produced.

Ya the stock one flexes when you got power
