27t ESC and 540 sport tuned motor

[pauljmuk]

Will the Tamiya Sport tuned motor run with an MTronik ESC27? Not sure of the turns of the Tamiya

Thanks[?]

[Twmaster]

The sport tuned motor is 23 turns.

[pauljmuk]

Ahh. Thanks

Take it that will blow the thing then? (silly question)[]

The Sport-tuned is a really mild-mannered motor by industry and even Tamiya standards.

Go for it.

The turns on the Sport Tuned is an odd call. They should be either 23 turns, or 27 turns with advanced timing. There are a lot of varieties between different Sport Tuneds - they aren't all the same it seems... [8)]

Ok, now i'm confused[xx(]

I bought what I thought was standard sport tuned (in brown card box) from models in motion. No idea what turns it is. Is it safe to run or aint it?! Anyone out there actually doing so.

To add detail, got a ballraced car, and no special mods to gearing / pinion etc. The car is a KBF

I run a sport-tuned with an ECO27 in my ball-raced M03 cooper - ESC doesn't even get warm. Ball-raced KBF shouldn't stress it too much more than the Mini.

Thought so, and thanks!

To be honest, I suppose these manufacturers have got to protect the product, and I've always suspected they set higher limits than necessary (I mean, if, in the lab, the ESC27 blew with a 26.5 turn motor (if there is such a thing!!), they are hardly going to label it a 27 are they?)

Also, the sport tuned is hardly a monster - I've read that is a simple copy of the stock 540 with a lower turn, no other mods.

I aint gonna be racing this baby flat out for 20 mins, with daft gearing.

Any other opinions?

I've heard the sport tuned motors in NA are 27 turn and those in Asia and Europe are 23? Woul be nice to finally figure this out.

You should be fine with a sport tuned and your esc.

I would make an educated guess that a sport tuned is 27T but it is definately heavily advanced.

Play save, gear lower (smaller pinion and/or larger spur) if the esc has it, turn down the current limit (punch control)

Cheers Paul.

OK. I just cut open a worn out Sport tuned motor. It is 23 turns and *zero* degrees timing.

That settle it? []

Cool [^], thanks, there just seemed to be a considerable amount of varying information on this motor...

What's the history of that motor, tw?

Bought new in UK or got it in a kit? []

[Twmaster]

I got it with a used chassis (58215). Since I am in the USA it would have been unlikely for me to get one from the UK []
