Tamiya 54358 Intermediate RS-540 Torque-Tuned Motor OP-1358  [54358]

Tamiya 54358 Torque-Tuned - Midrange Power for RC Racing

The Torque-Tuned 54358 from Tamiya is designed as a practical upgrade for drivers seeking stronger performance without the leap to high-output Sport-Tuned motors. Its balance of speed and torque makes it suitable for competitive club racing and spirited backyard runs alike.

Why This Motor Suits Intermediate Drivers

With a 25T winding and a claimed top speed of 26 km/h, the Torque-Tuned motor gives a measurable improvement over the standard 540 motor while remaining more forgiving than the Sport-Tuned variant. That makes it a good option for drivers refining their throttle and gearing choices.

Pairing and Gearing Recommendations

To get the best from the Torque-Tuned 54358, use a responsive ESC and test a few gear ratios to find the right trade off between acceleration and maximum velocity. It performs best when run on surfaces that reward short, crisp acceleration bursts.

How It Compares with Sport and Standard Options

The Torque-Tuned sits squarely between entry-level and high-performance motors, offering a middle path for those who want speed gains without sacrificing vehicle control. It is versatile across different driving styles and track layouts.

The Tamiya Torque-Tuned 54358 provides a sensible performance boost for racers who want more speed without losing the ability to control their car. It is an accessible upgrade for many common Tamiya models.
