Big upgrade from standard 540
Upgraded my sand vipers silver can 540. Very noticeable improvement in torque and top speed with 17t pinion. The car is really rapid now ! Definitely fast enough me.

Cheapest available at the time.
I have bought two of these in recent weeks. I have fitted one to my MF01X Golf and another to my TL01 chassis. They work perfectly and a marked improvement over a basic silver can. I have put the torque tuned from the Golf in a Hornet. For the money I recommend these and mine came on the same day as ordering. When I ordered they only were about five pound more than the alternative torque tuned motor which are also good.

A good genuine Tamiya motor but not that fast.
A great motor to fit into a vintage or older RC car. Nice to have a genuine Tamiya motor with the box and info printed on it. Not particularly fast though so don’t buy if you want outright speed but do buy if you want an authentic motor. Overall a nice simple upgrade over a a standard silver can at a reasonable price.

good motor from trusted brand
Slotted in place after purchasing a pinion and it just worked. It is much quicker than the silver motor that my grasshopper came with, the take off speed is around the same but top end has improved alot.

Substantial improvement
I swapped this into my Lunchbox and took it out for a drive today. I had to completely adjust my style as the increase in speed made it much more likely to roll and flip compared to the standard silver can. A substantial improvement in performance for a very low cost.

Be careful - read review first
This is a top torque motor, so be careful if you’re inside gears of the RC car are plastic. It shredded my original plastic gears. But now I’ve installed metal ones, this motor is an absolute beast on my 4WD Tamiya Hotshot II. Just be cautious of what I said previously. And you can never use enough gear lubricant, in my opinion. The slicker the gears, the better it runs for a more consistent period.

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.
