Tim McDonough's laser cut motor mounts for Speed 300, 400, 500, and 600 size motors. Precision laser cut from 1/16 plywood and provide a solid, easy to use firewall motor mount that provides unrestricted airflow through the front of the motor. These mounts come three (3) to a package and include metric mounting screws for the Graupner, Robbe, or similar Mabuchi ferrite motors. Any size just $5.00/Package. Available in both round and square motor mounts. Please specify configuration and size below.
A firewall is the structural bulkhead at the front of a model's fuselage that the engine or motor mount attaches to, separating the power plant from the rest of the airframe. Cutting one accurately by hand takes care, so a pre-cut part can save time and improve the fit.
Laser-Cut Firewalls
This category features Tim McDonough's laser-cut motor mount firewalls, shaped by machine for consistent edges and mounting-hole placement. A firewall cut this way gives a clean, repeatable starting point for setting up a motor mount.
Because the firewall carries the loads and vibration from the power system, a solid, well-fitted part matters to how the nose of the model holds up over time. Test-fitting the firewall in the fuselage before gluing helps confirm alignment and thrust angle.
A laser-cut part like this one takes much of the guesswork out of that step, since the shape and hole pattern are already set. That makes it a reasonable starting point whether you are building fresh or replacing a firewall in an older airframe.
See the available firewall option in the listing below.
