Questions & Answers
Real questions from real customers. Why not ask your own?
Will this fit a BBX?
Keith Knight / 29th August 2023

Yes it will fit.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Will this fit straight on to the sand scorcher. Or is there a better option. Thanks Lee
Lee Metcalf / 17th November 2021

This would be spot on for that model.

Anthony @ Wheelspin Models
Hi. Am considering using in Comical Frog (fully ballraced) with 20T pinion. Would standard ESC supplied with kit cope with this. Cheers.
Robert / 5th May 2020

Yes should be OK

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What Kv is this motor?
Charlie Pinborough / 22nd March 2020

Tamiya don't quote a KV for this motor sorry

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
will this fit a tamiya holiday buggy, is this the best option without changing any other parts.
Mark Fuller / 3rd January 2019

Yes, that will fit that fine. And yes, it should work with your stock ESC.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hello I was wondering if I could put one of these into a Kyosho Axxe? Would I need to change the pinion gear or anything else first? Thanks
Harry / 12th March 2018

Yes, this is standard 540 size so should fit your Axxe.

We'd run the original pinion to start with and keep an eye on motor/ESC temperatures and adjust from there if required.
