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: Grasshopper 2 Speed! - Made my Grasshopper 2 pretty quick. Pretty good bang for your buck if staying brushed. Typical Tamiya quality!

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!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grasshopper 2 Speed!
*by L***Y on November 20, 2025*

Made my Grasshopper 2 pretty quick. Pretty good bang for your buck if staying brushed. Typical Tamiya quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
