Tamiya Super Stock RZ 23t Brushed Motor...

In this video we test the Tamiya Super Stock RZ Brushed Motor. Quite a few of you guys asked me to do this. We run it on tarmac on 7.2 Nimh, 2s, 3s and log all the gps speeds to show you out how it performs 🚗💨💨
My car of choice for this run out was the awesome Tamiya DT-02 Sand Viper RC buggy 😍
A massive shoutout to Jack at Awanfi Batteries for sending me this awesome 7.2v Nimh Racing Pack to tryout. It ran great with good power and plenty of runtime.

Great videos, been watching for a while, and this is my first comment. I've been playing with a few brushed motors for fun, and the Tamiya Super Stock TZ/BZ/RZ are all great. I stumbled onto a Kyosho Krypton Krystal 14T recently. I stuck it in my Egress and it can pull 55 km/h on just 2S, and I didn't even start playing with the timing yet. Love to see that motor in your cars.

[@adamminchinton]

@@TAMIYALegends you can find it here: www.ebay.com/p/70564-Kyosho-E-motor-Krypton-Krystal-14/1004306811 It was part of a series of "mad science" motors, that went from 11T to 17T, but I've only seen the 14T motor.

It really is a great motor. I bought my son a KingCab to go with my Monster Racer that I've had since I was a kid. The Kingcab is rebuilt with the new Rere Super Astute TTC. The RZ matches up very well with the truck and transmission.

[@JimBoBJames-no5db]

Great video Glenn. I've got 2 super Super stock RZ motors both in a Hot Shot and Super Hot Shot. On 2 S lipo envision battery with the full bearings in car I get consistent 44-45km/h or 26 nearly 27 mph. And this got me thinking you know who really needs brushless motors, because when brushes wear out you just replace them . And I don't really want to go with brushless in a Tamiya kit. I reckon also that 2 S lipo is just right for a Tamiya RC car and 3s is probably right on the limit or even too much. Puts the entire cars driveline under too much stress. 2s is the sweet spot. Brushed motors are still good enough for me and I will continue using them. On another note , I also have a Kyosho Fazer Chevy Camaro VE BRUSHLESS which I've got to the same speed well 59!km/h on a 2 S lipo and if I had enough space instead of driving out front of my house may have given a bit more. But too dangerous on public roads especially because of risking crashing into kerbs which can really destroy a car. Done it a few times and it's just horrible. Kyosho claim that brushless motor in the ve Camaro can get to 65 km/h. But that was scary enough for me , I don't need anything that fast. I'm more than happy with my brushed Tamiya buggies 👍👌 Love your channel Glenn, from Australia

[@user-pj8hu4op6z]

My TT02 is also a RZ powered. Reached 48km/h with 2S lipo.😊 I agree with you that brushless is too much unless you are on racing track. I usually play my tt02 on a deserted road with almost no traffic, but the road kerb always the enemy. If brushless on the road, probably my tt02 is a wreckage now

[@sonicplayroompiano4302]

Nice man, can I ask what esc you use. I have a hotshot blockhead with sports tuned motor 7.2v nihm and wondering if I use a lipo battery whether or not the electronics would hold up? My esc is a hobbywing 1060. I'd be happy to buy this super stock motor

[@RCBirds]

Hehehe, tire torturing.... ;-) I have this motor in my Turbo Scorpion. It´s great. Couldn´t even test the car in our appartment. First I used the TBLE-02S in it. But this was a mistake. The ESC didn´t fit to the 23T. Now I got a Quicrun 1060 and man, this car is fun. Although I didn´t use LiPos.

Hi Glenn, I have this RZ (and BZ too) motor in my Neo Fighter and in NovaFox. Its good enough for these 2wd buggys. Fast enough, but not too fast and good controlable. I think, its an optimal motor for these. Enjoy it and have a fun.

[@TAMIYALegends]

MilosRCerny Černý Thanks buddy 👊🏻 Do you notice any difference between the two motors you have?

[@milosrcernycerny5537]

There is another maximum revs (Its about 1000 revs) on the motor box. But when drive it, I didnt notice any difference. Only the color of the sticker is different.

[@lualrosaal]

The only bad thing I have to say about the RZ motor is.... It's too fast for me. Even on 7.2 Nimh. I put it on a TT-02R chassis and with the stock (very hard) springs it was too much to handle. Have to try softer spring on the rear suspension to see if it's more manageable. Great video!! Thanks

Hi...just getting back into the hobby after 20 yrs...I am about to build a Terra Scorcher Re issue...I am thinking about getting this motor for it. Is this a good idea?

[@rcalltypes8230]

Nice video Glenn, the RZ motor is a well made motor. I had to fit ball bearings to my RZ motor, it’s even better with bearings 👍🏻 Just as I ball race all my RCs. I wasn’t sure if the motor would handle 11.1v lipo as it is rated at 8.4v. But it took it😂

[@TAMIYALegends]

Rcalltypes Thanks buddy 👊🏻 Do the bearings make a noticeable difference?

[@rcalltypes8230]

Less resistance than the standard brass bushes. I have read it’s about 10% more RPM &Torque, but I haven’t tested it myself. The motor does run better with ball bearings IMO Also no need to worry about dry bushes👍🏻😎

[@Bandit-Darville]

Hey @Rcalltypes, can you point me in a direction on how to replace the bushes with ball bearings in this motor?

[@rcalltypes8230]

@@Bandit-Darville Tamiya Legends, has a video on it now. So does RC Action Australia. Watch both videos, well worth it. I’ve been fitting bearings to super stock motors for years. Any way I could reduce friction, I would do it.

[@stumpycatvm7115]

my RZ installed in my Re Re Terra Scorcher is overheating and shutting down running the ESC TBLE-02S, don't know if its the ESC shutting down but the motor is real hot- a lot of compression with this motor, I could check gearbox movement with a standard motor by moving the front two wheel and see them drive the rears, but only with the standard 540 motor, interesting side note I'm sure your aware of.

[@rcl300018]

Maybe go down in pinion size? I read somewhere as you go higher in power (lower turn motors) pinion size should be reduced.

Hey Glenn. Have you ever used the Tamiya Commutator cleaning brushes? Part 53486 is suitable for the Super Stock BZ and 53487 for the RZ. You are supposed to remove the motor from the car chassis, take off the spur and replace one of the brushes with a cleaning brush and run for 2 or 3 mins. Cannot for the life of me get them to work. Any tips greatly received!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh wow no I didn’t even know that existed 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

[@willreardon5116]

@@TAMIYALegends Thanks for getting back to me Glenn. It’s really weird - the cleaning brushes are mentioned by name, on the bottom of the instructions you get with the motors, as the recommended way to clean the commutator but no-one has ever heard of them - let alone used them. I certainly can’t find anything on KZbin of anyone using them. A possible inclusion in your next motor vid? 😉

[@aviano72]

If you get the 19t pinion on the standard torque tune motor you will get around 36kmh on nimh as well. Going to have to try my RZ on the 19t pinion.

Oh that's a 23t ? flies pretty nicely down the road on 3s, thought it was more like a 17t motor or similar but i guess they are even faster if the esc handles that on 3s. Maybe you can try the reedy radon 2 crawler 16t motor ? Feel free too try these motors out as well, possible the reedy motors are these but rebranded too their own brand with how cheap they are at around 25 usd. www.banggood.com/SURPASS-Hobby-Brush-540-11131620T-RC-Car-Motor-For-110-Crawler-p-1524962.html?rmmds=buy&ID=47249&cur_warehouse=CN Maybe you can look for a double 15t as well.
