Tamiya Motors (where, what, how)
 

Hellos all.

I want to enter our local TCS and need a Tamiya Motor. What are the best Tamiya motors out there, if there are any.

Thanks a zillion!!!!

ok I asume you will be entering the 540 class ??
go the tamiya J motor(johnson 540)

there are a few legal ways to tune these. Pm me if you want details

You will need to let us know what class you are running. It makes a huge difference as you can imagine. Kinda like regulations between Formula 1, and Nascar!! :lol: :lol:

I sent a pm, now where's my tuning secrets?



:D

F. Alonso - Are you smart, are you a Earnhardt Jr supporter??? remeber 13th is BUD shoot out!!!!!



yep PM replied.

What's that supposed to mean?? I don't even like Nascar. Only mentioned it because the guy is from the US.

Bring on F1, that's where its at. :D :D

:p nothing like 200mph side by side nose to tail .

you get sick of that box head winning all the time in F1

TCS Series Motor breakdown:

GT1 - 19T spec motors

GT2 - ROAR-approved 27T stock motors

GT3 - Johnson Silver can motos

F1 - ROAR-approved 27T stock motoros

Mini - Johnson Silver can motors

If you know someone that knows how to tweak a silver can johnson, then by all means ask :D

...and going in circles counterclockwise, no chicanes or right turns :D :p

Not to mention that Indy cars blow NASCAR out of the water, and hey! They can do tracks too! But, I'm not bashing Indianapolis. Especially since they put in the circuit track extension :)

And, if you've ever seen an F1 race at Le Mans with its 4-MILE backstretch, you know F1 has serious speed as well.

any yall ever been to a nascar race anyway? yall seem to talk them down a lot, but its awesome seeing them run in person.

Being in Virginia, yes I know more abour Nascar than I ever want too... My Dad used to run a local stock car around lower New Hampshire ( from 1958 to 1962 )....... Now those days was racing..... Just about anything went... Very few rules.....

What would be the best motor for GT2, keeping it in the tamiya family

Trinity Monster Pro stocks are hard too beat. www.harrisrc.com.au has some good EA motors which are trinity motors that are tweaked and tuned a little more.

Thanks all,

Some more info. Only Tamiya Motors allowed. Will be running 4WD GT class (hopped up TA04).

Rules are strict here. Something to do with "levelling the racing-field"

How did some of ya get to the NASCAR thingie....I don't even line in the US....

Thanks anywayz
