Easy to install and provides a noticeable performance increase. It offers a way to get more from your Tamiya model without spending the bigger money on a brushless conversion. I purchased mine from Amain with the confidence it would be authentic, as there are cheaper, poorly-performing fakes out there.
A step up from the silver an or the Torque Tubed motor. Can’t go wrong with this timeless motor.
Great motor upgrade for the TT01. It is not listed but this is a 23 turn motor compared to the 27 turn stock motor that comes with most TT01 kits. It is very easy to install and gives it a good top speed. If you are a casual driver and want a faster upgrade without breaking the bank then this is a good way to go. If you plan on racing any Tamiya TCS events however be sure to check the TCS spec motor guidelines. But beyond that highly recommend this.
Three reviewers rate the Tamiya RS540 Sport Tuned Motor 5/5. They agree it is easy to install and gives a noticeable performance gain over the stock motor in a TT01, offering a lower-cost alternative to brushless conversions. One reviewer describes it as a 23-turn motor compared with the 27-turn stock motor, and notes it suits casual driving; another advises checking Tamiya TCS spec motor guidelines before racing. One reviewer mentions buying from Amain for authenticity, citing cheaper counterfeit versions. Reviews are few and short, and none report significant problems.
