Tamiya | Mini 4WD Motor Guide

Motor is right at the heart of your Mini 4WD car and one of the first components you want to tune.

The speed of your Mini 4WD car is controlled by exchanging the motor. Tamiya has launched various types of motors such as those focusing on acceleration, those with emphasis on maximum speed, and average type. When you replace it, the characteristics of the machine will change drastically.

For instance, if you replace the motor with a normal motor, the machine will be faster, but the speed of cornering will also increase. Therefore, changing your motor depending on the course is vital.

Get the motor right

Motors can be broadly categorized as high-torque, high-RPM or balanced, and your choice can have a big effect on how your car runs: high-torque motors suit twisting, undulating circuits, while high-RPM motors are great for circuits with multiple long straights.

Take a good look at the course before deciding, and don't forget to fit Grade-Up Parts to account for improved motor performance!

Gear up for success

Motors provide major changes; use gears to fine-tune your setup, for example adding a touch more acceleration to a high-RPM motor car, or adding top speed to a high-torque motor car.

Here are various types of Tamiya motors. When you have some more experience under your belt, why not try some advanced options?

Although extra speed means greater risk of leaving the course, mastery of the different motor types could give you the edge over the competition!
