As a kid I loved RC cars and as a father I would love to get my kids into the hobby and for me tamiya is a brand that offers so much and I am glad they came up with a brushless system. Lovely video.

Great video. I used this as a base to setup a DT03 with the same 10.5T motor, ESC and fan. It ran great and extremely smooth. I have since swapped the motor out into a Top Force with a Hobbywing ESC which like Glenn said are cheaper and put a 9.5T motor into the DT03. The ESC with fan is running OK, just have to be careful with the heat as I am over in Australia. It has not cut out yet which is a good indicator I guess

That's going to be rocking setup! Like others here, I also have a few RZ's and TBLM-02 10.5's running on TBLE-02S ESC's and even without a fan I've not had any problems or overheating problems (yet). I've got the 10.5 combo in a TRF-201 and a ReRe Boomerang and they both are awesome fun with that setup.

I’ve only owned two brushless systems, the old school Novak Super Sport with the 4300kv motor, and I also got the Castle Creations Mamba Max 5700kv back in 2007, and those things were wicket fast. The low maintenance and extra run time and more power made the transition to brushless incredibly good. Can’t wait to see more of this Tamiya brushless system, and see if it compares to the bigger brands in the brushless industry

I installed that motor in my Super Avante td4..... Brilliant indeed!

I’m glad you mentioned about the super stock motor as I’ve got one but didn’t know my TBLE could run it with a fan.

Nothing wrong with being all Tamiya. Great video. May have to try one myself.

I'm gonna do the same and keep it all Tamiya! Like your dedication :-)

Picked up a 10.5T to run with the TBLE02 in my bog stock TT01. No fan. 2S Lipo. Quicker than the 540 can (obviously). For what I'm using the chassis for (Euro Truck Racing) this is perfectly fine. Added a lipo battery check/alarm to be safe.

Might have to try that in my Neo Scorcher. Exciting :)

Can’t wait to see this in the Egress - crank it up 😀

Tamiya god has spoken i cannot wait to see this in your RCs , really interesting video buddy get that in one of your buggy’s boom 💥 lovely jubberly

That will be interesting to so how it performs 👌

Not sure HOW! I could have missed this.

Wow! Cant wait to see it mounted on your egress sir glen, got mine too on 15.5T. Super smooth not over power. Has the adjustable timming and works well with tble02s esc fan. Need to install a lipo battery alarm.

Gunna be cool in the egress carnt wait to see it running 👍👍👍

Great video... FYI, I run the tble-02 esc with and BZ super stock motor which is very similar to the RZ in my Blackfoot on Lipo 2s with no fan and never had an issue with it. The Egress is going to boogie with that motor. Looking forward to seeing that video.

Nice, I want one now to. :-)

I got the exact same TBLM and TBLE set up in my DT-02MS and Tamiya TFU and sensor cable. Runs fine. I think Tamiya rates their electronics very conservative. Also run a TBLM-02S with a 3S LiPo (and brushed silver can). And seen people go way below 23T without problems too. Of course the warrenty is out the window, but it’s also out the window with a 2S. Not a super fan of the double sided tape of the TFU but it seems to do the job. ... He he, I wonder why people always want to inform you that it’s a wrong choice. Same thing always happens with me. I mean, why not spend 30 sec to see if it’s a Tamiya-nerd/enthusiast that’s bought it before telling that one can buy other stuff. I got plenty of GoolRC etc etc brushless set ups and Arrma and Traxxas cars but still, often, I get told that GoolRC exists and Traxxas exists when I put up a video about a Tamiya project. I mean, it’s a bit pointless information for a Tamiya-enthusiast that’s showing a Tamiya project. Not sure if they actually think one can test a TBLM-02S without buying one, and instead a GoolRC? Hmm ... a mystery 😂😅

Nice 😎👍🏻 I’m looking at running one of these in my Terra Scorcher Re Re. Interested in seeing how it goes .

Great video Glenn. Being a Tamiya geek too I wanted to keep my brushless set up Tamiya but the cost just put me off. Really interested to see how this runs. Maybe I’ll get one after your runs.

I've ran the rz with the TBLE-2 esc ( with the fan) and it runs fine

Just today I ran my Egress (formerly a shelf-queen) with 3150kv sensored Robitronic Platinum motor and Robitronic speedo on 3s Lipo => It runs so SMOOTH, mate....It is a dream-come-true compared to any brushed motor 👍 👍👍 The stock pinion was way too big for this setup. I use 15t pinion (could still be 1 or 2t smaller for my taste...) which gives a very nice top speed ! More than that is not needed in the Egress in my opinion. I can only recommend the analog Reely S-0090 Servo with metal gear (15 bucks). And one advice for your Egress-build: Put a lot of semi thick grease on ALL gears (front&rear) !!! To install motor/pinion correctly: Push motor-pinion-unit firmly to the spur gear, tighten lower motor mount screw mildly, apply full throttle (spur gear will push pinion slightly away), tighten both screws firmly (with previously applied thread-lock-paste). => Looking forward to your running video of your Egress, mate !!! It is my all time favorite of the Tamiya RC models 👑

ive run the same setup i my neo scorcher ran well and super smooth pulls way better on 2s

Great vid as always Glenn buddy. 🙏🙏. Have to agree that they are expensive. And as you have said there's plenty of cheap combo sets out there. But I bet that'll last 10x longer than my Gool setups. Also you are a big nerd... 🤓🤓. But we all are! 😂😂. You can't beat having full Tamiya installed in your pride and joys to keep em authentic. 😉😉. Looking forward to some run vids on it buddy. 😊😊

I hope to set up my TA08 with Tamiya electronics, I have the 10.5 but waiting on the ESC due to backorder.

Great video!, i will be purchasing this exact set up for my tt-02. I currently have a super stock rz and a hobbywing 1060 esc which works great so will be interesting to see if the brushless set up will be faster?.👍🏼😎

I’ve also wanted to try the Tamiya brushless motors just to see if they are worth the extra money. Watching this one

So this is the video I couldn't find a week ago. 🤣. That 10.5t will be plenty powerful, you'll have fun with it! 👍

Great video and got me think I may go with the TBLM-02s 10.5T for my new Top Force EVO which I have just purchased and it now comes with the TBLE-04s ESC. Ideally I want to stay with using Nimh batteries for now so how would a 3000mah stick cope using standard gearing?

If you are going to start running brushless you should look into getting a motor analyzer. When you adjust the timing you want to try and keep the motor draw around six amps. If you increase beyond that you will create excessive heat and shorten motor life and you will not gain much in performance. A motor analyzer is key. It will tell you all the information you wish to know, kv, timing more accurately than the markings on the can as well as the amp draw.

I’m running a a Tamiya 15.5 brushless on my all Tamiya TT-02

My castle ESC can run motor tests and work out KV. I have a trackstar 10.5 motor with adjustable timing. So I can run a motor test on a 10.5t motor and give you some data on what happens.

Good video. I have used a 17.5T TBLM02 motor and ran it on timing position 2 (2200kv) and increased the timing to max and a definite improvement in top end speed. Note I am new to all this but liking the learning curve

Got myself a super stock, didn’t know about the fan so just ordered one from tony 👍🏻

I didn't know that speedy could handle a 10.5 cool👍

Also, to anyone saying that the Tamiya unit is expensive and you could get a cheaper, faster setup: Yes, you can and I’m not arguing that. The thing is, Tamiya really go out of their way to inform you on just how you should gear the motor in order to get the most life out of it. I doubt many other brands mentioned would go out of their way to include a detailed gearing chart the way Tamiya does. So yeah, this setup may seem like diminished returns on the surface. But for the money spent, Tamiya will make sure your first run with it won’t be the only one. Just because something is cheap, doesn’t mean it’s any good. *I’ve failed to mention the need for the TFU-01. You don’t need one UNLESS you’re running the 10.5T version! That’s the only reason Glen has one. Otherwise, it’s $30 you don’t need to spend.

Brilliant channel Question I have a Nissan king cab I can not find tyres for it.any ideas where I could buy some Many thanks

am i better of with this for my holiday buggy or a traxxas brushless motor setup

I do enjoy tamiya stuff, sic sic sic, so do I, except for the prices. lol

Not Nerdy Glenn.... Just true to your Channel concept! 😉 I could never afford a Tamiya Brushless Motor, so I'm stuck with the Korean Knockoff CRAP. In me Racing experience, advanced Timing adds top Speed. Also adds HEAT. Be careful how far you go. Me Mate Mark Bryan from Midlands, usually runs 13T Brushless Motors on the TBLE-02 with zero problems... But I believe that it's more like a 23T Brushed. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Mate, I watched this video before caving in and buying one. What’s weird is how Tamiya US states that the TFU-01 is discontinued and the only place you can get one is from Hong Kong. I have them on both of my cars but yeah, seems like an oversight to not make them like the TBLE-04S which allows the use of ANY 25x25mm fan with JR connectors. So far I’ve loved the 10.5. It’s not a perfect motor but if you give it full beans, it will go like a hurt rat! Just gotta really read the manual that comes inside the box of the TBLM-02S; DO NOT DISCARD OR YOU’LL LUNCH YOUR NEW MOTOR!!! Gearing is important with these because you don’t want the ESC to go “pop, bang, hiss”, hence why I say DO NOT throw away the manual that comes with it! While on the subject of gearing, one must be careful if running a 68T or lower spur gear. Too high or low a final drive can again cook the ESC! I almost ran a 27T pinion and 64T spur on my TT-02, which is the lowest drive I can go before the ESC says “no way”. I currently run 22T pinion and 68T spur and the final drive is right in the middle of the Tamiya specs for that spur gear. Thanks Glen and thanks for this very informative video.

I did something like this in the Tamiya Porsche Cayenne SUV. I used a Tamiya radio, a Tamiya servo and a Tamiya ESC. The ESC came with the kit. I got a stock Tamiya brushless motor. I just got the a 17.5 brushless motor. I wanted to go with a stock motor because the gears in the kit are plastic. I did not want to tear up the gears in the car. How did it work? It was okay, but not great. The build on the Tamiya brushless motor is fantastic. It even looks great. Also remember that Tamiya uses sensored and not sensorless system. I would say that the Tamiya radio was probably below average, the Tamiya servo was below average. The motor was good. The include ESC is also average. Thoughts?

Brushless is a little different. You kinda adjust timing to grip level. For playing around....6amp and high traction around 8amp. Then gear for the track. Bashing...... Motor temp. Gear for track and having fun...motor temps!😊 Keep up the videos!

I think the TEU 105BK is brushed only, with a 27t limit. And the 106BK was/is for twin motors(?).

Just discovered you .. thank you Glenn!! Just purchased a DT-03 2wd. Wanted to add all Tamiya brushless system that can handle 2s-3s Lipo. Is this possible? Or must I use non-Tamiya brand for brushless motor and ESC ?

very cool my friend all my tamyia are all brushless more fun but i do keep All original electrical parts and motors but mine are the cheap combos i carnt afford tamiya ones plus i would need Ten systems😂😂👊😊👍🇬🇧😎

Hi bud I’ve dug my old tb01 wrc focus out the loft I want to upgrade the motor and batteries any recommendations it’s officially 25years old last week thanks bud

I tried this setup a year ago as I had loads of the Speedos and like you wanted all Tamiya. It ran ok but not better than brushed and was way too complicated for me. Went through a puddle and it all went dead so I'm back to technigold and ni cad😃

Might do the same thing with my Neo Fighter. How did it work out?

Think I can use the newer TBLE 04S with the 10.5??? Seems the new limit is 15.5T

Are you comfortable running 3s batteries on a crawler with a Tamiya “super stock” TZ motor? I am running a 28T pinion, with a 320A “new rain” ESC on a CR-01 chassis… tell me what do you think?

Hey do you know if the 10.5t Tamiya TBLM-02s motor would work with a Tamiya TBLE-04s esc? great video by the way 👍

I’m gonna run this set up I have lab is delta xv-01 set up running that esc will I need the lith alarm I will be deffo fitting the fan to the setup why run the 16cm cable ??

How is the setup? I was thinking of doing one in a Dark Impact. I'm with you, all Tamiya setup. I use Traxxas servos in all my new builds and Tamiya esc or HobbyWing 1060 esc's.

Have you tried one of the new Tamiya 04 esc?

I run my rere Hotshot with a RZ motor and use a TEU302BK controller, but I don’t run lipos on it

The Tamiya TBLE01 ESC used in the Super Levant, has a 8t 4410kv motor. Look into this ESC, if you want a cheaper alternative to Transpeed. 😎

How many turns does it have?

I'm confused. the Tamiya brushless TBLM motors appear to have lower RPM than the Superstock (26,500). ? So they are slower than the brushed Superstock? 🤔

Nothing should be too fast for you Glen

Always wondered if I go brushless on my Grasshopper will the gears take it, as no metal gears available I’m sure 👍🏻

СУПЕР!!!💪😉👍

Just watching this as got a Tamiya TBLM 15.5t on order for my Egress. Did you run your 10.5 in the Egress? The video I found you say you’re running the BZ.

I'm just wondering if it is worth the extra money if one is not into speed but just driving round on a tennis court would it be worth spending the money on brushless set up

Ps as far as I'm aware the TEU ones are the predecessors of the TBLE ones buddy.

What is KV?

Does the ESC support any 10.5T motor or just the TAMIYA motor? Have you tried a sensorless motor too, like a generic 3000KV motor?

Have you run the super stock rz on anything yet? I just put one in a FAV

I want to see you have a speed run Tamiya.

Can I have the part number for the fan unit? I have about 7 of these ESCs and I need fans. NEVERMIND DUHOOOOOOY!! LOL

I have the tblm o2s 10.5 with the tamiya esc but it runs the car faster in reverse and nothing I do alters that ...what's the problem

keen

Think that motor is perfect for the set up you're running.

hi every one I need a little help out here looking for a gear on a very old Tamiya 1/16 M4 Sherman tank its a two motor single transmission drive train I striped out the gear between the two motors when I was a teenager my father bought this tank when he was a teenager need help on where to look if any one has help would be appreciated.

Will tamiya drive train handle brushless ?

Malaysia time now... 01:39 am morning time now 23/April/2020

The other Speedo is the precursor to the 02. It is only washed

What the hell are you going to put a 10.5 in?

damnit 2nd... :D

Stuff it in the mad rabbit and blow the tires off😁

Great video again! Check our RC HOBBY SHED on KZfaq, He has a great video on the Tamiya cooling fan. He also has a bunch of great videos worth watching. Thanks again for the video mate, looking forward to seeing how the Tamiya brushless motor runs, 🦘🇦🇺

Only 3370 kv?!? A proper tuned 10,5t motor can spin 4000 kv+9

Every time i see this "cooling solutions" i have to bang my head on the desk... damn is this a bad construction and inefficient. The already very small cooling area is covered in more plastic.... 42x42mm heatsink and fan directly attached would be much much better. But it's not only a tamiya "problem"
