The Tamiya 7435097 540 Motor is ideal for enthusiasts who want practical gains in speed and durability on older buggies. Designed to mate with the DT-02 chassis, it provides reliable power delivery and a robust build for regular club meets or weekend runs.

Main Benefits for Classic Models

Compatibility: Made to match DT-02 mounting points for a simple swap.
Performance: Reliable midrange torque that improves acceleration on mixed surfaces.
Durability: Solid construction to cope with everyday hobby use.
Application: Great choice for upgrading vintage buggy drivetrains without major changes.

Can I use modern batteries with this motor?

Yes, modern NiMH or LiPo packs work well, but match your ESC settings and gearing to the battery to keep current draw reasonable.

Is extra cooling needed for club runs?

For regular hard runs, add ventilation or a lightweight heatsink to help maintain performance and reduce thermal wear.

Will it improve handling or just top speed?

The upgrade mainly affects acceleration and sustainable power; handling comes from chassis and suspension setup, but better throttle control can make the car easier to drive.

Any tips for installation on restored cars?

Check motor mount alignment, clean the mounting surfaces, and verify gear mesh carefully to avoid premature wear on older parts.
