What the Power-Dash motor offers

The Tamiya 15317 Mini 4WD Power-Dash Motor is aimed at enthusiasts seeking stronger torque for circuits with steep sections and technical turns. It provides reliable low-end power to help cars accelerate out of tight zones.

Which chassis and situations suit this unit

This motor pairs well with a variety of Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis and is particularly useful on courses where quick recovery and hill climbs matter more than outright top-end speed.

Practical racing improvements

Installed correctly, the motor lends smoother throttle control and reduces the chance of bogging on inclines. Its predictable delivery helps when refining suspension, weight distribution and tyre choices for race setups.

Will this motor fit a VS chassis?

Yes, the Tamiya 15317 Power-Dash typically fits VS chassis and other standard Mini 4WD frames. Always check space for mounts and gears before final assembly.

Is it easy to swap from a stock motor?

Swapping is straightforward. Remove the old motor, verify pinion and spur gear alignment, then fit the Power-Dash and test gear mesh before running at full speed.

How often should I inspect the motor?

Check brushes and the commutator after extended use or competitive sessions. Regular inspections help prevent loss of torque and unexpected failures during events.

Can I tune other parts to match this motor?

Yes. Pairing the motor with tuned gear ratios, balanced weight distribution and appropriate tyres will maximise its benefits on technical tracks.

Where to source spare parts?

Genuine Tamiya replacement gears, brushes and pinions are available from hobby retailers. Keep spare items handy to minimise downtime at events.
