Tamiya 54358 RS-540 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.

As described

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.

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).

I put this in my Tamiya high lift has the wheel speed to get me in and out of the mud

I purchased two of these for my son’s monster truck. They are just the upgrade he needed.

Works greats! Use in my tt01 box stock euro truck class

Been running this in my Tamiya Ford for weeks and been very happy. Yes it is genuine

Good spare motor, good value for the money
