When dialing in your chassis with new kart parts, the Rage Karts 5-Degree Motor Mount delivers the exact engine positioning required to maximize traction and minimize drivetrain bind. Whether you are trying to efficiently transfer your briggs and stratton lo206 horsepower to the rear axle or tuning other high-RPM racing engines, this 5-degree mount provides the subtle angle needed for optimal chain alignment on wide-frame Rage Karts. Proper engine placement is the foundation of a fast kart, and this mount ensures your power plant sits exactly where it needs to be for peak performance.
Engineered for Unrestricted Power Transfer
A misaligned drivetrain robs you of speed just as quickly as a poorly tuned tillotson carb. By introducing a gentle 5-degree tilt, this mount optimizes weight distribution across your rear race wheel setup, ensuring your kart stays planted through long sweeping corners. Unlike steeper 15-degree mounts that can overstress components or drastically alter your center of gravity, this conservative 5-degree angle is perfect for maintaining momentum. It allows the chassis to flex naturally, extending chain life and preventing the rear end from breaking loose on slick dirt oval or sprint tracks.
Track-Tested Reliability & Quick Adjustments
Built for the grueling demands of competitive racing, this mount features a corrosion-resistant finish and robust hardware designed to withstand intense vibration. Pit crews and solo racers alike will appreciate the streamlined design, allowing for rapid trackside adjustments. When the track conditions change and you need to swap gears in a hurry, the precision-machined slots ensure your engine slides smoothly without binding, getting you back on the grid faster.

Stop leaving valuable lap time on the table with generic, ill-fitting mounting hardware. Equip your Rage Kart with the genuine RKMM5 motor mount and experience the cohesive, vibration-free power delivery that puts you at the front of the pack. It is the ultimate upgrade for racers who demand precision engineering and uncompromising durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this 5-degree motor mount compatible with all kart chassis?
A: No, the RKMM5 is specifically engineered for the wide frame rail spacing unique to Rage Karts. It is designed to provide a perfect fit for these specific chassis, ensuring optimal engine alignment.
Q: Why choose a 5-degree mount over a 15-degree mount?
A: A 5-degree mount offers a more conservative angle that helps maintain a lower center of gravity and allows the chassis to flex naturally. This is ideal for maintaining momentum and preventing the rear end from breaking loose on slick dirt oval or sprint tracks.
Q: Does this mount help with chain alignment?
A: Yes. The precision-machined slots allow for smooth engine adjustment, which is critical for achieving perfect chain alignment. Proper alignment reduces drivetrain bind, extends chain life, and ensures efficient power transfer from your engine to the rear axle.
Q: Can I use this mount for high-RPM racing engines like the Briggs LO206?
A: Absolutely. This mount is built to handle the torque and vibration of high-RPM racing engines. Its heavy-duty construction resists flexing and twisting, providing a stable foundation for your power plant.
Q: How do I maintain the mount during the racing season?
A: The RKMM5 features a corrosion-resistant finish designed to withstand wet and muddy track conditions. Simply wipe it down after race days and periodically check that your mounting hardware is tightened to the correct torque specifications to ensure peak performance.
