Fun fact: I have a Sport Tuned „made in China” bought in and owned since the 1990s! It’s rotor has the same colour as the one you show but no vent blades. For 25 years I wondered why my silver cans were at least as fast as it😂 I have another one bought at the same local shop back in the days. Have to check if it’s a China model too. Good video, thanks

Great video and great comparison. Good to see the difference as I know what little things to look for when buying a genuine tamiya sport tuned motor. I have a ton of those 'knock off' motors in my parts bin from several ebay lots I bought awhile ago. 1 thing I noticed with them (or at least from my experience) is when the knock off version gets pushed too hard that plastic fan just explodes inside the motor. Then again my motors might be a knock off of the knock off 😄😄

Nice one Phil, just goes to show that in general, you get what you pay for. Good to show how much faster the proper Sport Tuned motors spin - my TT-02D with the Sport Tuned goes about 4mph faster than a TT-02 with the standard can - so the difference in revs definitely pays off in practice! It'll be interesting to see what your motors do in the next test. All the best, mate! :)

I've been in the Hobby since 1984..... This was ENLIGHTENING!! 😲 I know most Korean/Chinese Knockoff products are CRAP... But that showed me a few things. That Chinese "Sport Tuned" Motor has GOT to be a standard 27T - with maybe some Timing added... (Test it in reverse, and see if it's slower) I'm CERTAIN it wouldn't be as durable as the Johnson 540! "Genuine" Tamiya Sport Tuned Motors have always been 23T. They have 12 degrees of Advanced Timing (hence the direction arrow), it WILL run slower in Reverse. I reckon that the newer Silver Sport Tuned Motor has better quality Magnets than the original. And I SURE wouldn't trust the Brush quality on the COPY!! 😲 Thanks! Great comparison. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Cheers! You should also reverse the polarity on all 3, and measure RPM. The two Gennies should spin slower in Reverse if they both have advanced Timing... I truly believe that the Clone will have no difference in speed, because it's simply a Painted, relabelled bog standard Silver Can Motor!!! 😲😖😠 That's what your initial testing revealed to me. Look forward to seeing your results!! 👍👍

oh my. i recently bought that cheap sports tuned motor at $9 only. my gear ratio is 7:1. firstly after i got that motor, i calculate using rc speed calculator app, the standard silver can motor at 16300rpm using 8.4v can go 28.xx kmh. and for the sport tuned at 21000rpm using same 8.4v, the speed shows 36.xx kmh. after that, i also try speed run both motor, the gps show silver can motor speed 28kmh and my cheap sports tuned motor speed is 35kmh. my speed run results are nearly identical with result from the rc speed calculator apps. i dont know the exact rpm produced from both motor. but from the apps calculation and gps speed run results, the speed improved. i think my cheap sports tuned motor really produce 21000 rpm.

I recently ordered one of those cheep Chinese Sport Tuned motors. I didn’t think anyone was going to do a comparison. I thought I’d have to do it myself. I wish that I would have seen your video before I ordered. Could have saved me some time and money. I use to get genuine Sport Tuned motors from Amazon for around $18 with free shipping a few years ago. Nowadays they are $24 + $3 shipping so I thought I’d shop around. Seems like the price has increased as of late. I’ll have to get one of those new silver ones. At least I stocked a couple of genuine black motors back when they were cheaper.

Hi Phil. Im soooo confused. My Wraith Spawn stock motor is 21T, and 2-3 lipo capable esc. My stock motor went bad, put in a legit Tamiya ( japan) Sport tuned RS540. Want to run 3s , but pkg. says input voltage max 8.4 volts..🤔. So, stock oem says ok on 3s, but seems like tamiya limits battery voltage to 7.4 v or 2s battery. I want to run 3s in it. Traxxas sells 550 can shielded 21T motor which is 14.4 volts input voltage..😵‍💫. Really confused.

@modelnutty6503 4 жыл бұрын

nice basic RPM bench test, another is a 1" arm on the output shaft to see how many inch lbs (or oz) the motor magnets offer in resistance to turning. free spin RPM means little if it runs out of torque under load, all it'll do is heat up more. on the other hand, for less than the price of a Tamiya motor, you can get all kinds of nice spec motors, like an Atomik 19d (19 turn double wound) with strong magnets, replaceable brush end bell etc. that's decently high rpm and strong on torque. good motor choice always depends on what type of vehicle you're powering, really high rpm with a much smaller pinion can give smooth response and great acceleration, same config with a larger pinion can heat up and drain a battery pack quicker... stuff you learn if you've done a few years of more serious RC racing, like a 4 minute race with your battery being spent at 5 minutes (1200mah Sony SCR NiCad days!), you were pretty close to being dialed in.
