Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181 Touring Car Motor Unit  [54181]

Introduction to the Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181

This motor is intended for model racers and hobby builders who favour a low upkeep solution. The Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181 gives sensorless reliability and a straightforward power band for 1/10 scale touring cars.

Advantages of Going Brushless

Brushless motors like this remove brushes and a commutator, reducing routine cleaning and wear associated with brushed motors. That results in longer service intervals and consistent performance. The 18T arrangement yields a similar output to the Lightly-Tuned 28T while keeping setup simple.

Compatibility with 1/10 Touring Cars

Designed for 1/10 touring car use, the motor balances acceleration with controllability on track. With a 2270KV rating it offers strong RPM per volt, but it is not recommended for large tyre off-road vehicles or dual motor formats such as the CR-01 series.

Recommended Setup and Care

Pair it with the Tamiya Brushless ESC 01 TBLE-01 (Item 54038) for coherent throttle response and protection. Regularly applying Metal Bearing Lubricating Oil (Item 53508) to the bearings will help maintain peak performance and extend the motor life.

The Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor is a pragmatic choice for 1/10 touring car pilots wanting reliable sensorless performance and straightforward maintenance routines.
