Stock motor plates tend to flex under the heavy torque often applied when crawling through tough and challenging courses. This fleXIng causes premature wear and fatigue on spur and pinion gears as well as other transmission parts. In extreme situations this fleXIng can cause stripped gears and damaged parts.
East End Machining motor plates have been computer designed to help eliminate that torquing and fleXIng. They are CNC machined from AircraFT Grade 6061-T6511 Aluminum plate to exacting specifications.
