🚀 Tamiya DT-02 Speed Challenge | Part 4 (Acto TRF, Super Modified 11T) |

[@MarkBryanRC]

That is a great speed for an "old" motor, Gabriel, good job! I know the big guns are coming though! This is a superb competition! All the best! 😎👌👍

[@coygtrc]

Thanks Mark. It's crazy to think that there was an 11 turn from Tamiya where now the lowest turn available is 23 turn (with bronze bushings...) 🤪 🤝

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@coygtrc Yes, absolutely crazy! 😅😅👍👍

37mph?!!! Nice man. 🙏 Loving the progression through the series of Tamiya motors mate. I know brushless has huge advantages, but I'm a brushed guy at heart..... and it's great seeing others still running good old fashioned brushed set ups. 👍 👍 👍

[@coygtrc]

Yes, we're sniffing Mark's bottom 😅 I love brushed motors, some are so beautiful. Of course, that's more work than brushless 🔧But with speedruns, not that important unless you're doing 10 passes 👀

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@coygtrc Definitely mate!! Cant be any worse than sniffing Barbara's beaver!! 😂 😅 🤣 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Steadily climbing! You have been a motor swapping master lately! LOL!

[@coygtrc]

Yep, it's coming along nicely. The poor gearbox of the DT02 (screwing, unscrewing) 😥🤝

[@UncleBobsRC]

Oh brother, 2 of the motors I been looking for... 37mph is getting close to the 40 and over mark... I really thought that the 11 turn would push the buggy over 40... Great job man, cant wait to see what you pull out next... An Orion maybe?????

[@coygtrc]

The Acto TRF is absolutely superb. The "Super Modified" is just an 11 turn armature inside a "common" can. At least, it's 50% faster than the Sport Tuned. But yeah I was a bit underwhelmed. Next, still Tamiya, vintage, iconic last pair (and one is faster than the 11t, but is not a Transpeed). And after that, this will be a Team Orion 😉 Stay tuned 🤝

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@coygtrc Very cool, when those were all around, I was very heavy into Trinity (Epic) motors. Now that I'm getting old (almost 60), I check websites almost everyday for vintage motors. The Acto TRF is at the top of the list but looking for new in box. I been also looking for a Transpeed MS brushless motor..

[@Paul__FC]

That car sounds great!!

[@coygtrc]

Thanks. Hopefully, it will sound even better next time 😉

[@rivierarc]

Excellent MPH there. Loving your motor comparisons. Great job! Look out Mark lol

[@coygtrc]

Thanks 🤝 Can we break 40 next time ? Who knows 😉

@@coygtrc i need to get out there and try again. The work bench has been cleared ready for some 'tweaking'.
