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. ## Features - Tuning piece to DT02 chassis and fighter buggy. - Voltage: 7.2V. - Voltage range 6 – 8.4V. - Model number: 300053068 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00061HB0K | | Brand | TAMIYA | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,387 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344530687 | | Included Components | As described | | Item Weight | 190 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model | 300053068 | | Model Name | RS540 Sport Tuned Brushed Motor (Tamiya Silver Can) | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | TAM53068 | | UPC | 599038403308 885237864294 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Tamiya 300053068 Electric Motor 540 Sport Tuned - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VIb6guPSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
