Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181 Off-Road Excluded Touring Unit  [54181]

Overview of the Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181

This motor gives touring car drivers a reliable, low fuss upgrade. The Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor 01 18T OP-1181 is built to reduce routine maintenance while providing usable throttle response for competitive and hobby running.

Practical Benefits of Brushless Design

Removing brushes and a commutator means less routine cleaning compared to brushed motors, which translates to longer intervals between services. The 18T configuration provides a familiar power curve similar to the Lightly-Tuned 28T, without adding tuning complexity.

Best Use Case: 1/10 Touring Cars

Specifically intended for 1/10 touring car platforms, this motor balances acceleration and controllability. With a 2270KV rating it offers solid RPM per volt for track use, but it is not suitable for large tyre off-road models or dual motor setups like CR-01 series.

Installation and Care Tips

For stable control pair with the Tamiya Brushless ESC 01 TBLE-01 (Item 54038). Regular bearing lubrication using Metal Bearing Lubricating Oil (Item 53508) will help keep the motor spinning smoothly and prolong operational life.

For touring car enthusiasts seeking a straightforward sensorless motor swap, the Tamiya 54181 Brushless Motor offers dependable performance with minimal maintenance demands.
