Tamiya 42188 RC Transpeed Octa-Wind 5.0T Motor Special Edition  [42188]

About the Transpeed Brushless Motors from Tamiya

Serious touring car drivers will recognise the Transpeed line for its focus on control and durability. The 42188 model shows Tamiya's sensored brushless engineering, tuned for repeatable starts and steady performance over race distances.

Sensored OCTA winding and magnet design

This motor uses a sensored brushless layout combined with an OCTA winding pattern and a 12.5mm sintered magnet to strike a balance between top end and low RPM tractability. The sensor holder is serviceable, enabling adjustments to achieve the desired commutation feel.

Design features to manage heat

A prominent front cooling cover on the 42188 improves heat dispersion, helping preserve efficiency during extended running. Available turn counts like 4.5T and 5.0T make it a strong candidate for high speed touring car rigs where thermal stability matters.

Focused on asphalt touring car performance

While 42188 targets asphalt touring cars, Tamiya's broader Transpeed range includes part numbers designed for buggy and mixed use, allowing racers to select the configuration that matches their vehicle and circuit demands.

If you need a sensored motor that balances power and cooling for touring car competition, the Tamiya Transpeed 42188 is engineered to deliver repeatable performance and serviceable components for tuning.
