  • So moving on from my Fake Tamiya Sport Tuned Motor. We established that the New Sport tuned was a little faster 'offload'. *About 450rpm faster). But how does is compare on the road? 2s Lipo & 3s Lipo Tests, Top Speed & Acceleration. 0-18mph & 0-28mph (3s)

    Hi tomley, thanks so much for the shoutout to my CZcams channel and Instagram I'm am very grateful for that mate, I'm glad you like the decals bud, it was nice to be able to give back to someone like you who puts in a lot of effort to help and create content for us.
    Man I love that performance analyser so handy very very cool, I might have to check those out..

      @@TomleyRC that's good speed but go buy yourself a super stock RZ motor. I run 2 of them in my Super Hot Shot and my Hot Shot. Both full ball bearings and using 2s lipo and 13 tooth pinion to get the best of this motors power band because the motor reaches 27500 RPM so a lower pinion gets a great top end without over gearing the motor. I got Louise phantom rear tyres and Schumacher mezzo I think on front and the car wheelstands lifting the front to the heavens 💪👌 I get using a 2s lipo nvision battery 44-45 kmh or 27 mph. Pretty happy with that Super Hot Shot. It actually goes faster than my Kyosho Fazer mk 2 Chevy Camaro which uses a 14 turn brushed G14 motor also on 2 S lipo only gives 42 kmh or 26 mph. Go figure . However the Kyosho Fazer is a much much better handling car than the Tamiya Super Hot Shot and Hot Shot. They're both 40 year old designs although they're both re release kits that I brought new last year. Thank again TomleyRC for an AWESOME channel. Oh and it's good to see that you and Kevin Talbot are on good terms now. I realise this is a old video but yeh in 2023 on CZcams things with you 2 were getting quite silly and heated. Glad to see you two have patched up the situation.👌💪👍

    Needless to say, after your casual throwaway remark I´m curious to see what sort of send-off you have planned for the inadequate impostor motor...

    • @modelnutty6503
      @modelnutty6503 Před 4 lety +1

      I'd pry loose the tabs on the brush plate, advance the brushes to 30 degrees and see how long it lasts before baking itself. it's probably a neutral timed can motor (both directions same RPM) so it'd be easy to turn the cap 1/3 of 90 degrees counter clockwise (end facing) so brushes advanced 30 degrees to CCW rotation (normal running direction).
      motor itself might not be all that bad if it were set to 20 or 24 degrees, but I'd go for the torture of 30 degrees just to see if it'd sizzle when I spit on it...

    Kind of strange here in Australia we get Tamiya sport tuned motors in siver can with a fancy sticker.ive never seen them black can fake sport tuned in any shops I go to. But I have seen them online from eBay and Amazon and I don't buy from either them 2 . I do remember years back the Sport Tuned genuine Tamiya motor was a black can so that may be an indication that these black can motors are not a genuine Tamiya product. It seems Tamiya has changed from the black can to silver with the nice sport tuned sticker. Buyer beware. Thanks TomleyRC your channel is AWESOME and you definitely have got a subscription from me👍👌

      @theminiatureconstructionco4556 Před 4 lety +1

      The boxes on MN Models are very deceptive unless you're really paying attention. I got a D99 anniversary colours one the other day, it said on the box metal gears, metal shocks and metal drive shafts. I was highly dubious and obviously it didn't have any of those things, so I wasn't terribly upset when I opened it. I did have a scan round the box, and next to it in tiny writing was the word 'Accessory'. Bit misleading but that's Chinese Manufacturers for you! 😔

    It'd be interesting to see the difference with ball bearings & mini cvas on top speed & acceleration. (I am assuming here the friction shocks can't keep the tires in contact with the road as well as the cvas would so grip/acceleration would be less)

    The new sport tuned is definitely faster but you have to take into consideration that the "C" rating does make a difference since it supplies power to the motor faster that's why the difference between the motors grew larger when u switched the higher "C" rating 3s lipo. I really enjoyed the video! Keep it up!❤

    you really should have stuck to 0-15mph to see what the time is then you can compare with the earlier test of the silver can. No sense in doing 0-18 for this and 0-15 for silver can. Also, the knock off sport tune on 2s did 0-15 in 1.05 which is definitely a fast motor vs these on 3s!! Try racing on a short twisty course and you will see that these will not be able to do much against the knock off sport tune.
