TAMIYA54358 RS-540 Torque-Tuned Motor

What else can be said about the Tamiya torque tuned motor?

This motor is underrated. Everyone thinks they need to upgrade these to TZ/RZ/BZ 23T or 19T aftermarket or brushless motors. I used to be like that. I have recently used these with the lowest FDR possible in a Tamiya car and then use NiMh, 2S Lipo, and 3S Lipo to control how much speed I want. Tamiya does all of their R&D on their cars with these motors and it is evident. I am seeing great performance by sticking with these over more expensive aftermarket ones. They're also fairly priced.

I only rated this as 4 stars since you cannot replace the worn brushes in these motors. Other than that it has been fantastic for the price. I would recommend it as long as you are not dealing with any water.

Most inexpensive replacement motor for the tt02 series of cars. We change out the motors after every season of racing.

These units are very good for the price. Plenty of power. I have two in a 1:96 model Navy ship that have been running for over 5 years of local pond use. A little noisy but perhaps with better insulation from the hull this could be overcome. I tried to use both on a single motor ESC which works ok up to about half throttle then the thermal overload kicks out. Using a ESC made for two motors in my current project. (live and learn).

have owned several of these motors over the years. nice step up from the standard 540 silver can included in Tamiya's kits. these 25 turn motors have solid punch, good speed, run cool (if geared properly), and perhaps best of all - inexpensive...

as most tamiya products no trouble buying there stuff
