Yokomo YM-05R 05R Stock Motor - Heritage 28-Turn Edition  [YM-05R]

Yokomo YM-05R: heritage motor suited to vintage builds

Collectors and builders seeking authenticity will find the Yokomo YM-05R balances classic presentation with usable modern performance. Created as a tribute to the YZ-834B lineage, the motor keeps period cues while integrating compatibility with contemporary power systems so classic cars can be run reliably on the track.

Keeping the YZ-834B story alive

The YZ-834B set standards in its day for chassis robustness and suspension. The YM-05R, wound as a 28-turn unit, works well with Li-po batteries, enabling owners to operate restored vehicles under present-day conditions. The motor's exterior treatment remains faithful to the original look.

Practical performance for period competition

The 28-turn configuration delivers manageable acceleration and steady torque, which is appropriate for races or demonstrations where controllability and longevity matter more than top speed. It helps preserve drivetrain and tyre life on older chassis layouts.

Recommended maintenance and setup

Pair the motor with an ESC that offers soft throttle transitions and temperature safeguards. Fine-tune suspension and weight distribution on the YZ-834B to match the motor's characteristics. Perform regular upkeep including commutator cleaning and brush checks to maintain consistent output.

The Yokomo YM-05R is a reliable option for those restoring or running YZ-834B style cars who want period authenticity combined with modern convenience.
