Old Technipower 540 motor
I got this in an rc12l lot on ebay. I don't know too much about these but I thought it was cool it still had the original box and paperwork.

The endbells and brush springs are really neat on those motors, kind of rare. I know the Technigold version came with Tamiya Avante.

Re: Old Technipower 540 motor
It's cool as hell! Don't let it go! I doubt it would bring much on the open market(especially right now ). It's a great piece though.

Re: Old Technipower 540 motor
Nice score.
Tamiya had 4 hop up motors in the early 80's.
Black sprint motor.
Black endurance motor
Both of these were a sealeds mabuchi can with bushings and slightly different rotors.
Than a Technitune and a technipower.
These were far faster and had bearings and adjustable timing. Also were servicable.
The Technipower was the flagship motor with a wind around the 23t. ( standard in the Super Shot)
Later came the Technigold which was even faster again but also had stumpulling torque of around 430 g cm . Standard in the Big Wig and Porsche 959 and maybe some others.
All these motors were made by Mabuchi.
Later tamiya went to Johston motors.
