I have a new TA-05v2 IFS on the way and hope to take it racing next Saturday at the local carpet track. What can I expect from the motor that comes with the kit? I'm new to racing and would like to use this motor to hone my skills before moving up to a 17.5 brushless system. I'll be racing in a stock class that requires 27t brushed or 17.5 BL. Will this motor get me around the track ok, or will I be in everyone's way? I'll be using 3000ma NiMH batteries and a Novak XRS Speed Controller.

Thanks

You'll get around the track, but the stock motor won't hold up against lower turn modified brushed or brushless motors. They're pretty good motors though.

you could always try the Tamiya Sport Tune, its still a 27 turn, but has more torque and spins faster...

Silver can:

Usable voltage range: 7.2V-8.4V
RPM at best efficiency: 14,500 r/min(7.2V)
Torque at best efficiency: 255g.cm(7.2V)

Sport Tune:

Usable voltage range is 6V-8.4V
RPM at best efficiency: 18,300 RPM (7.2V)
Torque at best efficiency: 350 g/cm

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Here's what I did....

Took it to the track and did a few batteries worth of chassis sorting out. Was pretty underwhelmed with the stock silver can motor. The hobby shop had a used stock Trinity 27 turn monster motor for sale so I had them turn the comm and brushes and I installed it. What a difference this motor made. I don't know much about motors so I don't know how this motor compares to other quality race motors but it certainly is way ahead of the silver can motor. The gearing is stock so this motor is pretty well undergeared. It barely gets warm after a heat of racing. I'll keep it this way for now as my driving skills have a way to go before they can keep up with the car with this gearing. Probably the best $20 I'll spend on this car.

from what ive heard the TA-05 is very competitive for the price.
