Frequently Asked Questions
What is this motor board used for?
This is the motor board (firewall mount) used to secure the brushless motor to the front firewall of the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub fuselage. It provides the structural interface between the motor and the airframe, absorbing motor torque and vibration during flight.
What aircraft and motor is this motor board compatible with?
Designed for the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub with the stock 3536-KV850 brushless outrunner motor. Motor mounting hole spacing: 19mm (standard for 3536-series motors). Not confirmed compatible with other FMS models — verify before ordering.
What material is this motor board made of?
Made of ABS plastic — lightweight, impact-resistant, and sufficient for the power output of the 3536-KV850 motor. ABS construction keeps weight minimal while providing adequate rigidity for the motor mount interface.
When should I replace the motor board?
Replace the motor board if: (1) the board is cracked or broken after a nose-in crash; (2) motor mounting holes are stripped or deformed; (3) the mounting surface is warped, causing motor misalignment; (4) visible stress fractures appear around the mounting holes.
Does this motor board include mounting screws?
No. Mounting screws are not included. Reuse the original M3 motor mounting screws from your existing motor assembly, or source M3 screws separately as spares.

Description
Restore your FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub to airworthy condition with this official OEM replacement motor board. The motor board — also known as the firewall mount — is the structural ABS plate that secures the brushless motor to the front of the fuselage. It is one of the most commonly damaged components in a nose-in crash, and replacing it with the correct factory-spec part ensures proper motor alignment, vibration damping, and structural integrity for your next flight.
This replacement board is designed for the stock 3536-KV850 brushless outrunner motor with a standard 19mm motor mounting hole pattern, and is a direct drop-in fit for the PA-18 1300mm airframe.
Key Features:
- ✅ OEM Direct Fit — Factory-spec replacement for the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub motor firewall mount
- ✅ ABS Plastic Construction — Lightweight and impact-resistant; provides adequate rigidity for the 3536-KV850 motor’s power output
- ✅ 19mm Motor Mounting Pattern — Matches the standard 3536-series brushless outrunner motor hole spacing; no modification required
- ✅ Precise Alignment — Correct motor board geometry ensures the motor shaft is perpendicular to the firewall, preventing vibration and thrust misalignment
- ✅ Easy Installation — Direct drop-in replacement; reuse original M3 motor mounting screws
- ✅ Made by FMS — Genuine spare part with factory quality assurance
Compatibility:
- FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub — stock 3536-KV850 brushless outrunner motor, 19mm mounting pattern
⚠️ Important: Mounting screws are not included — reuse original M3 motor mounting screws or source M3 screws separately. After installation, verify the motor shaft is perpendicular to the firewall and the motor runs without abnormal vibration before flight. This part is designed for the FMS 1300mm PA-18 only — compatibility with other FMS models is not confirmed.
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect the ESC and remove the propeller, spinner, and motor from the damaged board.
- Remove the old motor board from the fuselage nose section.
- Align the new motor board with the fuselage mounting points and secure in place.
- Remount the 3536-KV850 motor using the original M3 screws, ensuring the shaft is perpendicular to the firewall.
- Reinstall the spinner and propeller; perform a low-speed bench test to verify smooth, vibration-free motor operation before flight.
Note: Package includes one (1) motor board only. Mounting screws, motor, propeller, and spinner are not included.
