Tamiya TT02 Upgrades - 27T Pinion Hop Up

[@thevisitor6267]

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but a good speed upgrade for Tamiya's now is to run the stock motor on 3s. Tamiya moving to Hobbywing ESC's was the best thing they've done in ages.

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

That’s something we could certainly do moving forward.

[@adrianharrison5208]

I have been doing just this for years now, like you say best upgrade

[@davidr7813]

The bits of plastic are the cooling fan inside the motor, loosing bits wont help with the balance. Motor upgrade.

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thanks. Time for a switch of motor I guess

[@velocityinstereo]

That motor has had it.

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

I think it’s time to switch it out.

The motor may be performing, but it's definitely not cooling anymore You need a lower turn motor (assuming you're staying brushed) that will give you more rpm. If you still aren't increasing in mph, try a lower tooth pinion 👍

Thanks for sharing

Disconnect the rear transmission . More power to the front wheel drive with less power loss . May even be able to gear up further ?

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thanks for the advice and for taking a look.

Looks like motor upgrade is getting bumped up. Decreased weight is great

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Going to switch the motor and move down the pinions to see a comparison.

[@davidbaillie6523]

Ftx 20t 540 motor on 3s 😊

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Nothings off the table

[@Geo_art_RC]

Definitely change the motor.

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

I’m thinking so too

[@aviano72]

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]
