Tamiya 22098 Super Stock Motor VZ 23T Off-Road Friendly 1/10 Touring  [22098]

Short intro and suitable uses

This 23-turn Super Stock brushed motor is aimed at 1/10 scale touring and stock-class on-road vehicles. It is usable as a direct replacement in stock race categories and provides a predictable platform for setup and tuning. The VZ suffix denotes its series identity within the class rather than aftermarket upgrades.

Installation pointers and fitment

• Compatibility: Compatible with standard 1/10 touring motor mounts and the typical motor plates found on touring chassis.
• Mounting: Use the stock motor screws for attachment, set pinion to spur gear mesh with minimal play, and recheck mesh after an initial short run-in.
• Connections: Employ common soldered or crimped terminations; confirm solid connections to the ESC or harness and protect solder joints.
• Running-in: Conduct a conservative run-in under light load to allow brushes to seat; avoid pushing the motor hard while bedding in.

Adjustment and tuning advice

• Stick to stock-class gear ratios and tyres permitted by race rules to maintain consistent handling and power delivery.
• Monitor motor temperature during setup sessions; steady warmth is expected but rising heat points to gear mesh, binding, or incorrect gear ratios.
• Make pinion changes incrementally and test on the track to fine tune acceleration and top speed balance.
• Keep commutator and brushes under periodic inspection to ensure smooth throttle control and longevity.
