Hi all,
months ago I've bought this abused Tamiya Acto Power Off Roader 2wd Motor.
Now I'm in the condition to full restore it because I've bought a new endbell (with new brushes), a brand new armature and a MCI sticker to refresh also its cosmetic.
I've already made a deep cleaning of the can (and probably I will repaint it) and of the other parts not destinated to be replaced with new ones and the only doubt I got is about magnets: I'm not in the condition to zap it but I need to know if there is a empiric and manual test to do to understand if they're gone or if they're still fine.
You could make a motor flag. A brass rod with a steel square on it. You insert it instead of the rotor and the flag should point to the center of the magnets.
The magnets don't just lose magnetism, they lose center too.
Would give you a feel for how strong they are.
If you were in the UK, you could have it rebuilt and remagnetised cheaply.

Interesting, I will try for sure.

I'm not sure that here in Italy there is someone that can manage this obscure art, for sure not where I live.
A couple more videos from Jasonfest 1 2021. Sorry for the short crappy videos, we needed them to be textable so we could impress chicks. Not to mention we didn't go anywhere with enough space for any of them to really stretch their legs......

That blackfoot really impressed with that lemans 240 st. Thats the combo I raced in late 80s.
Hi Guys,
I have 3 motors to choose from to put in a frankenstein vintage runner:
1. tamiya rs-540sh (screw holes line up, pinion meshes, don't see why it wouldn't work)
2. Trinity monster horsepower , red end on it, also says 1985 world champions...

The turn limit for the ESC is 23 turns, so that motors is within the limits but it's probably right at the limit of a motor that you'd want to use. It would be considerably hotter than any of the closed-endbell motors I listed above. I like those...
My RC10 buggy has this motor: Trinity Monster Horse Power 1987 Word Champion. It doesn't seem to make much power with a 3000 mah, 7.2 V nimh battery. I'm wondering if there's a good replacement motor?
Last post
I replaced the old motor with a 20 turn HPI motor. Performance is quite nice. I was about to try an 8.4v nimh battery when I lost an axle.
i am having an issue with this setup. It is causing some radio interference and i am thinking it is mostly because if the high amperage draw of this motor? if i ease into the throttle and gently go up to full speed it works pretty flawless. If i get...

Here is one from Team Associated.
I use a Spektrum BEC in my truck. I just jazzed it up a little. :wink:
I'm trying to figure out a motor combo to run in a Clodbuster at next year's vintage nationals. All the classes require 27T motors. I don't know of any adjustable timing or zero degree 27T motors. I was thinking of trying a pair of Sport Tuned...

I asked him and he just said that he wired one for reverse rotation and didn't do anything about the timing.
Thanks for the tip Temple, I gotta keep an eye out for those motors.
Got this motor with a bunch of other old motors. Have never seen any similar before. Does someone have any info about it? Label only says E power engine .
The comm is unfortunately worn out, however the motor still runs somehow.
Thanks!...
I always wanted one due to the awesome ribbed can design. It is so different in it's design. The endbell is held with 2 long scres that goes through the can to the seprate mottor plate. The brushes are...

Very good motor. Used long time ago in my egress car.

I have a couple new Tamiya kits that include this motor and was wondering if they require any kind of break-in procedure -- the manual doesn't mention it.
I'd like to run the cars in box-stock configuration and want the best possible performance...
