1/10-Scale Touring Motor 25T Swap - Tamiya 22096 GT-Tuned Motor II  [22096]

Small footprint motor for 1/10 touring rigs

The Tamiya 22096 GT-Tuned Motor II (25T) is described as an electric motor choice for 1/10-scale touring cars and compatible chassis. The 25T tooth count is useful when matching pinion and spur gear ratios during setup or when changing final drive characteristics. This note highlights practical fitment tips, installation checks, and setup advice for racers and club tuners.

Prior to installation, check motor mount alignment and verify pinion-to-spur engagement to reduce the chance of gear damage. The motor uses the common 1/10 mount pattern found on many touring platforms; confirm the motor shaft and pinion spline match or swap the pinion if necessary.

• Compatibility: 1/10-scale electric RC cars and compatible touring chassis
• Use case: replacement motor or tuning swap for gearing adjustments
• Installation note: verify gear mesh, secure pinion set-screw, and ensure ESC and battery are compatible
• Maintenance tip: after initial runs inspect pinion teeth and commutator area (if present)

When changing gearing or swapping a motor in a 1/10 touring car, the 25T identification keeps gearing choices straightforward and service checks simple.
