Review: Big upgrade from standard 540 - Upgraded my sand vipers silver can 540. Very noticeable improvement in torque and top speed with 17t pinion. The car is really rapid now ! Definitely fast enough me.
Review: Cheapest available at the time. - I have bought two of these in recent weeks. I have fitted one to my MF01X Golf and another to my TL01 chassis. They work perfectly and a marked improvement over a basic silver can. I have put the torque tuned from the Golf in a Hornet. For the money I recommend these and mine came on the same day as ordering. When I ordered they only were about five pound more than the alternative torque tuned motor which are also good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit in a Tamiya Hornet?**
A: Is it more powerful than the standard motor?

**Q: Hi will this fit straight into a taniya tl01 1/10 subaru please?**
A: Hi, yes this motor will fit fine. Exactly the same dimensions as the stock motor, just faster.

**Q: I have an original sand scorcher, will this be a straight replacement or would i need an extended pinion?  i have just bought an upgraded esc for it.**
A: Hi , not entirely sure , but I think the sport tuned motor ( and standard 540 motors ) have a slightly bigger diameter than old 540 motors . You may have to Dremel out the motor bay ever so slightly and remove a lug . Check out Tamiya forums .I've found information about this online , but having never had a sand scorcher i can't be sure sorry !

**Q: Will it work for tamiya 4wd mini kits?**
A: I’m 90 percent sure it won’t fit! I used one in monster beetle and thats 1/10 or 1/12 scale

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the wait!
*by M***G on 12 July 2015*

Dug the old RC car out the parents loft which still had the stock motor and battery inside it. Purchased a new battery and seen this motor listed on the upsel Amazon page. Battery came and I relived the boyhood RC car moment again, all good. Then I though I'd try this for £13. It took a while to come (around 3 weeks) and I swaped it out for stock motor. It was a straight foward replacement as I had a little trouble with it as the pin is a little shorter than my stock motor. To get around this I put my pinion on the other way around and use a few washers to align the motor with the clutch wheel, which was nice to get the old computer hands dirty a bit. Fired it up and it now shoots like a rocket. I'd say 30-40% faster! My car even struggles to turn at speed it goes that quick. For £13 its worth the wait and the fiddling about to get it on.
