Tamiya Transpeed Motor Series Explained

For racers who want a predictable, race-ready motor, the Tamiya Transpeed family delivers engineered consistency. Model 42188 demonstrates Tamiya's sensored brushless approach for reliable throttle control and track stability.

Precision sensored design and winding

The Transpeed layout uses a sensored brushless architecture with an OCTA winding setup and a 12.5mm sintered magnet to provide a balanced mix of torque and rpm. The sensor assembly can be fine tuned or swapped, helping technicians keep the motor performing lap after lap.

Front cooling to control heat under load

The 42188 is fitted with a dedicated front cooling cover to improve airflow and reduce thermal stress during long queues of laps. With 4.5T and 5.0T options available, this model suits drivers chasing high velocity without sacrificing reliability.

Best suited to touring car racing

Although 42188 is prioritised for touring cars, adjacent Transpeed items cover both touring and buggy platforms, giving competitors options to match vehicle type and track surface.

Racers looking for smooth sensored starts and robust thermal management will appreciate the balance of performance and control the Tamiya Transpeed 42188 delivers.
