Hi Guys,
My son, a friend and I are hoping to get along to our first Faversham meeting this Wednesday and I am preparing a few cars, would a Tamiya sport tuned motor be OK to use? Does anyone use any other Tamiya motors? Brushed 27t motors seem hard to find these days and as it's our first meeting I didn't want to spend too much before seeing what you guys use. Also does anyone have a set of old Schumacher yellow's for sale that would fit a Tamiya, I have brought 2 new sets but need a 3rd. Cheers, Jon |

Hi Jon,
Can't see any problem at all with you running a Tamiya motor until you find your feet. Pretty much all of us are running 13.5 brushless now, only a couple are running brushed, brushless just has so many advantages. But - as you're only just starting out run with what you have before spending any more. As for tyres - someone will probably have a set you can use. May be helpful if you say what car they are for in case someone has as set mounted on suitable rims already. Regards, Dave. PS - I think I'm the only person at the club who collects Tamiya 540 motors these days - for my Mardave oval racing! |

2 of the cars are Tamiya (a Gravel hound and a Dark Impact) so they have the standard Tamiya hex and ones an Associated B44 (if it comes by courier tomorrow ![]() I also race Mardave's at Maritime, do you race yours on the Oval at Medway? Quote:
Thank you both for your help, Cheers, Jon |

Just found the yellow full spikes, to be honest they have not got much life left.
You can have them for free if they will help you out. Will be pitting in the corridor on the left as you go in, if you want them Brett |
