Review: A classic and great upgrade to any stock 540 motor - 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.
Review: Great upgrade for standard 540 motors - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic and great upgrade to any stock 540 motor
*by P***Z on March 5, 2025*

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!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade for standard 540 motors
*by S***E on January 26, 2026*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade over the stock motor
*by J***N on August 30, 2023*

I used this motor to replace the stock silver can in my Wild One Buggy. It had a noticable increase in speed and torque. I did a before and after comparison. Running on a 3S lipo it did 28 mph stock and 32 mph with the Sport Tuned. When it has traction it is a wheelie machine. I'm not sure if it is rated to run on 3S, so I don't recommend it, and do so at your own risk. I only ran 3S for testing and will run 2S from now on. Highly recommend the Sport Tuned motor as an inexpensive performance upgrade over the stock silver can that comes with a lot of Tamiya kits.
