Tamiya 42188 Transpeed 5.0T Brushless Motor for Touring Cars  [42188]

Introducing the Tamiya Transpeed 42188

Built with competitive touring car pilots in mind, the Tamiya Transpeed lineup delivers consistent, sensored brushless performance. The 42188 model exemplifies Tamiya's attention to winding geometry and thermal management for race conditions.

Sensored system and OCTA winding explained

The 42188 uses a sensored brushless configuration paired with an OCTA winding and a 12.5mm sintered magnet to provide stable torque and efficient power delivery. The motor's sensor position is adjustable and replaceable to suit specific ESC and driving preferences.

Front cooling cover to reduce heat soak

A front cooling cover is fitted to the 42188 to help dissipate heat during long runs. Combined with turn choices such as 4.5T and 5.0T, this reduces the risk of thermal degradation during extended race sessions.

Designed primarily for touring car racing

While the 42188 is optimised for touring car use, neighbouring Transpeed references are offered for applications that include buggies, giving racers options depending on track type and vehicle class.

Competitive drivers who prioritise smooth sensored starts and robust cooling will find the Tamiya Transpeed 42188 a dependable choice for touring car racing setups.
