Link helped finding some info regarding the motors. I have also done some further research and practically finished the motor guide! I am missing only 1 motors info, which is the Tamiya ACTO -Power TRF Tuned. Has anyone got a box or some info for this motor and what its been designed for? I know it will be a competition motor, but is it for On or Off Road? Or for both applications? Thanks, S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fruitfly01 596 Posted May 14, 2020 The TRF tuned motor was aimed at the touring car market, being released in the early days of Tamiya's touring car line up, probably with the TA03 chassis in mind, thatnks to David Jun's success with the chassis. The off road motor at the time was the pink motor. The Tamiya RC guide books at the time were also touring car/on road heavy and the various tuning charts in the books for motor gearing were all based on on road chassis. This is a picture of a page from a guide book from 2001. It has some new chassis charts compared to the guide books from the 90's, but the information on TRF chassis compatibility and gearing is the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
