The one that is missing of course is the original kit motor. There were originally Mabuchi 540 motors, but Tamiya then started to use the Johnson motors, just a different maker, the spec is the same.

I believe they are 35 turns. So the black 'sport-tuned' motor (27 turns it says on that page) has a little less torque but more revs, so is faster than the kit motor.

Both have the same dis-advantage that they are sealed so are not really service-able, apart from a quick lube of the bushes now and then and a quick blast with motor spray to clear out most of the dirt.

Hi,

I have been trying to gather informations regarding the std. Mabuchi and Johnson motors to add to the list, but not having much luck...

If anyone has some additional information please drop me a mail.

Kind regards

Martin

I think standra motors are all 27 turns, and that a Sport Tuned is 27 turns with advanced timing or 23 turns - there are different versions in different countries and it likely changed over time. []

On the "perfect Tamiya RC album" there is some stuff written about the stock 540s (as well as another large amount of very interesting info I would like to read but only understand the numbers [8)][:I], like #1 934 []) but nobody wants to translate it [][]

I remember someone writting on the forum that the old 540 had more turns, like 35, but cant confirm it... Anyone knows more?
