Tamiya 22098 Super Stock Motor VZ 23T Touring Class 1/10  [22098]

Purpose and recommended applications

This 23-turn brushed Super Stock motor is made for 1/10 scale touring and other stock on-road models. It functions as a drop-in replacement for stock racing categories and as a stable starting point for setup and tuning. The VZ label identifies its series within the same class and does not imply aftermarket modification.

Practical fit and installation notes

• Compatibility: Suits the common 1/10 touring motor mounts and the motor plates used on many on-road chassis.
• Mounting: Fit with the vehicle's standard motor screws, align pinion and spur gear with minimal mesh, and verify mesh after a short bedding-in run.
• Connections: Standard soldered or crimped motor leads are used; ensure secure, clean connections to the ESC or connector harness in your wiring layout.
• Running-in: Carry out a controlled run-in under light load to seat the brushes and avoid overheating during the initial minutes.

Setup tips and tuning notes

• Use class-legal gearing and tyres to keep the power curve predictable for racing.
• Keep an eye on motor temperature while tuning; steady moderate heat is normal but high temperatures suggest mesh problems, binding, or incorrect gearing.
• Alter pinion tooth count only within permitted limits and test changes on the circuit to tune acceleration versus top speed.
• Regularly check the commutator and brushes as part of routine care to maintain consistent throttle feel.
