Wow. I cannot even remember which motor it was. But I can remember, Crystal, crystal clear, going into town one Saturday morning with my mates, aged about 14 or 15, with my very-hard-earned and saved £45 in my pocket, and walking out just feeling the motor in the Blister Pack, the first performance part I ever bought!!!! Boy these Vids take me back to my youth..... keep ‘em coming, please, Sir!!!!

Made my own 8.4v cell by stripping the plastic off a 7.2 and adding an extra cell with plumbing solder and a wet rag to stop heat from destroying it whilst soldering with a 6inch nail heated on the gas cooker!!! I 're wrapped the pack with rc aircraft solar film,as you said way to expensive back in the day lol

WOW that takes me back!! I Raced for Team Associated, and some of us USED Technigolds in Super Stock Racing!! 😳 A buddy of mine had experienced taking the Endbell off by simply ripping it off - with devastating results! 😖 Team Racing was a stressful thing. "Cleaning" a Motor involved placing the Can in a Magnitizer after Hydrosonic cleaning, and turning the Comm on a bloody MINI LATHE!! Speaking of Timing, as an experiment, I took a 9 turn Triple, cranked the Timing up to *40 degrees* and fit it in a On Road Racer... It did almost *70mph* for about 20 seconds! Then it melted!!

The good thing about the brush layout on those motors and similar, is that they can handle a lot of dirt without burning the com. Other types with their brushes in holders, get stuck and burn easily.

I remember the Tamiya Technigold motor, I believe they were installed in the Tamiya Bigwig, when that was launched in 1986 (I think). Wish I had kept my original Tamiya Bigwig and other earlier Tamiya models, so miss the days of 'thrashing around with friends'. Well after 34 years away from Tamiya RC Cars, I decided to get back into the hobby once again, purchased a TT-02 Audi Quattro, along with some essential hop up parts, can't wait to get stuck in!

Get yourself a comme lathe mate, really does wonders to the commutator, and its fun skimming it.

Good rule for sport/mild tune motors with adjustable timing, is 1 or 2 degrees is fine, and more if you have a lighter load, for instance a smaller pinion or bigger spur or smaller diameter tires. YMMV, but I had good results from it back in the day. But gearing, weight and wheels being the same, it`s best not to change it more than 1 or 2 degrees IMO, and if you DO change the timing, maintenance requirements increase exponentially :)

I can remember striping mine down & cleaning it, I used duraglit back in the day on the comm.

I have the exact same motor but mine is a graupner mabuchi 540 gold.....paid like $50 over 30 yrs ago..still got it

Nice video, thanks for presentation. The ridges are just an indication that the motor is hardly used. The brushes have such ridges when they are brand new and will gradually wear down to fit the shape of the comm. There were many who used to "run in" motors with new brushes at reduced speed/voltage without load (to avoid sparkling/soot at the comm). The tuning on these modified brush motors are interesting: By changing the angle of current flow to the comm in relation to the position of the magnets, the RPM can be increased. This comes at the cost of more current draw and less torque though. Therefore it may be better to see if the required speed can instead be obtained by installing a lager pinion and keep the tuning near neutral.

There was the RX-540VZ Gold that was rebuildable and was like $50US and completely unobtainable for most of us 13 year olds, then there was the RS-540SD Black that wasn't 'rebuildable' and was around $35US. Then I swear there was another one, a brother of the RS-540SD, less torque more speed (few less turns) or something like that?

This was my first kit when I was 10. I still have one or two waiting to be built ut the issue I had wa the stripped gears and the hex-dogbones contantly stripping. Is there an after market dog bones kit and heavy duty gearbox to upgrade the 2016 version with? Thanks Bryan

Glen with all the Tamiya Motors ever made can you get all the information off their stock 7.2 or 7.4 voltage what's their stock RPMs are there all rated at even the ones that aren't Tamiya.

Recently picked up an old Bigwig and it has one of these motors in there. Haven't tested it yet. What sort of ESC would I need for the Technigold? The Bigwig I have has an MSC in it still. Thanks!

Which motor would u recommend for performance (as always) between t Super Stock 53697 & 53930. All t best

Trinity Monster Horsepower motors were very popular alternative to these back then. But these Technigold Motors were just a better quality motor.

Hello Glenn. I have a question. I drive in my Buggy the rx540vz and i will replace them. For the technigold and the dynatech motors brushes are hard to find and at this time it is a collector item and its better to save him. On the paper, the superstock series have more torque and more rpm, but they have more turns, too. Is the super stock motor better or not as the VZ? The second idea to replace is the dynarun super touring motor. Is a 13 by 2 turn motor. The same as the 02H. But more rpm and amp´s. What for a motor of these two can i use? Thanks

Double check the instructions as there are two bigger marks on the can and I don't think you lined it up with the zero timing mark. Great video by the way ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not sure I just remember the manufacture instructions seemed “off” from what I saw on the motor.... I hate to tell you this but I had the box for that and tossed it, had a little damage to it...didn’t even think about it including it....sorry.

Raymond Wilson There very similar in performance with the Technigold edging it. I’ll try do a comparison video soon to show the difference 😊👊🏻

My original SUPERSHOT had aTechnigold motor but I cant remember if it would of been a RX540VZ Glenn, I think it was 1986 ???

SHAYEN 2320 If it came in the SuperShot kit, then it was the Technipower motor 🤩👊🏻

When I had that motor on one of my cars I turned the timing all the way up I was not pleased with the 0 degree timing.

When I did that to my super shot I saw a major difference when I turn the timing all the way up it actually is quite a lot of different stuff Glen.

Are the brushes supposed to be worn unevenly like that? What would cause that ?

use brass cleaner in com and brushes, you will get a better shine and way more speed out of the motor

Time for that motor to have a hard life 😂

Probably total overkill but couldn't you diamond true that commutator . It's like a Vsmall lathe with a diamond tool you mount the motor shaft in it and run the tool up and down the commutator.

Cheezsoup Yeah you can skim the comm, but this one isn’t at that stage, doesn’t look like it had many batteries through it 😊👊🏻

I have mine too, this motor has high current draw, almost twice the rs540
