However they have very different end bell timing. For this reason Tamiya claims them to be respectively 27t, 25t and 23t. The reality is that the Torque tuned is a 27t with a somewhat aggressive timing which makes it a lot sportier than the stock silver motors. Hope this helps. **Q: Does anyone know how to fix a gearing issue? I’ve inspected everything and no errors. My car is grinding. I had 1 recent crash that started the grind** A: Gears must mesh together very tight in model car racing. You must check how those gears mesh and use molybdenum grease to facilitate smooth and noiseless ride. Otherwise, replace those grinder ones. **Q: Does it fit a traxxas stampede 2wd ?** A: While this may work, the physical size of the motor (540) is smaller than the standard Traxxas motor (550). Also,the Traxxas is a 12 turn while the Tamiya is only a 25 turn - lacks the torque of the Traxxas. **Q: Is this compatible with a Black Foot Truck?** A: Yes both the torque tuned and sport tuned motors work in the Blackfoot, I have both motors and they work great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great motor *by K***R on September 3, 2025* I put this in my Tamiya high lift has the wheel speed to get me in and out of the mud ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice upgrade without breaking the bank. *by M***E on October 21, 2025* I purchased two of these for my son’s monster truck.
