Tamiya 300053068 Electric Motor 540 Sport Tuned

Great classic motor at a very affordable price. Stout, reliable and not too shabby on the revs. I’m not an rc speed freak because my skills can’t catch up yet. This is all I need to have genuine fun and it’s fast enough for what I like to do. It’s brushed and that’s what I grew up building with, great motor can’t go wrong if you are enjoying leisure ripping with your rc car- there’s always something faster, but that’s not what I’m after. This motor will get you to the happy zone if you have reasonable expectations.

Classic motor upgrade for your 1/10 RC car. I used this to replace the stock motor on my vintage Tamiya Frog and it works great. I think they cost less now than when I looked at them in the 80's!! Or maybe I just have more money now and it only seems that way! Either way, it's a great value to get better performance out of your car.

Made my Grasshopper 2 pretty quick. Pretty good bang for your buck if staying brushed. Typical Tamiya quality!

If you are running a brushed setup in your RC, this is a great replacement for stock. More torque and rpm, with still long run times. Obviously not as fast as a brushless system, but if you have a brushed Tamiya or other vintage brushed car, this is a great affordable little motor. I don't water break them in, but use a little motor cleaner and lube at the ends.

I ordered two of these (should have ordered one to start) to replace some old brushed motors I didn't feel like maintaining. These have great torque and speed and can be tossed when the (non-user replaceable) brushes wear out, but the output shafts are too short to use with anything other than a Tamiya vehicle. I'm sure the shafts are long enough to fit into the smaller Tamiya gearbox, but I wish I'd noticed beforehand. So if buying for something other than Tamiya, make sure you can use your existing pinion gears with these.

I can't comment on torque but it certainly has more RPM than the stock Tamiya 540 that came with my Hornet EVO. In my testing with a handheld laser tach I was seeing about 2600 max out of the stock motor whereas he 'Sport Tuned' showed about 4100. Both tests were done in sequence with the same 7.2 Nimh battery and 17t pinion.

Very nice

This is a nice jump in performance from the stock 27T Mabuchi 540 motor and a step up from the "Torque-Tuned" 25T thanks to the higher RPMs. This 23T motor is about as much as the little Hornet can safely take, IMO (some would say the stock motor is the max). I'm running it on the Tamiya 04S ESC, which is technically overloading it (max is 25T), but I haven't had any issues with overheating yet.

Buen producto

Hızı sesi ve gücü kesinlikle standart 540 ve 550 motorlardan daha iyi. Kalitesi de güzel

I put this in my DT-03 and it sure is fast highly recommend it 👍

Fake! Std motor in sport tuned box.

plus de couple et de vitesse ( pour une consommation modéré ) qualité tamiya au rendez vous !
