RC car motor mounts operate under hyper-extreme conditions: ferocious high-frequency vibration from high-RPM motors (electric or nitro), sudden, massive torque loads on the pinion/spur gear, and severe impact shock from aggressive driving and crashes. A loose motor mount means immediate gear mesh failure, stripped spur gears, and catastrophic drivetrain damage. However, mounts must be removable for motor swaps and critical for gear mesh adjustments.
Don’t let vibration ruin your gear train; lock the mount while maintaining precision adjustment.
INCURE Re-Lok™ B43 Blue Standard Duty Threadlocking Adhesive
For securing motor mounts in the high-performance RC hobby, where fasteners are often small (M3/M4) but subjected to massive forces, a balance is needed. The INCURE Re-Lok™ B43 Blue provides superior vibration security and resistance to nitro/lube oil while remaining easily removable for maintenance and gear tuning.
| Feature & Benefit | Technical Insight for RC Motor Mounts | Conversion Value |
| Medium Strength (Standard Duty) | Provides a secure lock for fasteners up to M20, neutralizing severe vibration, yet allows for removal with standard hand tools (essential for frequent maintenance). | Serviceable Security: Lock down the motor position without permanently fusing the mount to the chassis. |
| High Vibration Resistance | Cures into a solid plastic that fills the microscopic gaps, effectively damping the extreme vibration generated by high-RPM motors. | Hold the Mesh: Ensure the critical pinion/spur gear mesh stays perfect under maximum load and chassis flex. |
| Oil & Fuel Tolerance | Exhibits enhanced chemical tolerance to residual nitro fuel, gear lubricants, and cleaning solvents common in the RC pit. | RC Ready: Ensures the chemical lock remains robust despite exposure to typical RC contaminants. |
| Controlled Lubricity | Provides uniform clamping force during torquing, which is vital for securing small M3/M4 screws without stripping delicate aluminum or plastic threads. | Prevent Damage: Torque your fasteners accurately without destroying the chassis or mount threads. |
Application Steps: Securing RC Motor Mounts for High-Performance Use
Preparation (Mandatory): Clean the threads of both the screws and the receiving mount/chassis thoroughly with a degreasing solvent. Wipe surfaces until perfectly dry. Never use threadlocker on the set screw that adjusts gear mesh itself; this is for the main mounting bolts.
Application: Apply a single, small drop of Re-Lok™ B43 Blue to the middle threads of each motor mount bolt (typically M3 or M4).
Assembly: Install the motor, set the gear mesh precisely, and tighten the mounting bolts. Torque the fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified value (usually very low for these small screws).
Curing Time (Critical): Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum strength and anti-vibration resistance before running the RC car under power.
Stop risking catastrophic gear failure and secure your drivetrain components with dependable chemical integrity.
