Cool. I thought I was the only one who was interested in these types of tests. Those 380 motors are surprising. The Traxxas 380 motor really has some power.
The 380 sport tuned is a Great upgrade for grasshoppers. What probably no one think about is the handling of grasshopper / hornet. The 540 Will add weight to the rear gearbox suspension combo, that again will narrow the weight ratio between the shassis and suspension. To make a car handle the best, the suspension must be as light as possible. So a grasshopper will handle better with a smaller and lighter motor. I use a nimh to ad weight to the shassis too. These old cars are constructed for that weight. You can see that on other vintage cars too. Stoffer Springs bc of heavy bateries and electronics.
That was interesting! The 540 got lots of torque but the 380 Sport Tuned wins with rpm it seems, when up to speed. Thanks for the great video. Got a shout out for you today on my new little channel (at the end of the video, if you want to see it). Ohh, and subscribed :-)
Just as you said, the 380 sport tuned motor needs enough time to get the top speed. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Later I will visit your NEW!!! channel : )
Just brought this motor for my brother's 1:16 HSP Red Wolf trophy truck along with a lipo and full ball bearings, seems to be a nice upgraded without going brushless especially after wearing the motor in, the top speed increases. Stock 380 motor use to get very hot, this one is faster and stays cool, very good quality brushed motor. There seems to be alot of good Chinese brushless motors out now but for brushed motors it seems you still need to go Japanese.
@@cagemanch.7567 Update on this motor, now it's warn in, even more impressive. He has also now done a short run on 3S on a very short grass oval, very fast for a brushed motor. I raced him on my RC using the same platform RC 1:16 and gearing using a 3000kv 2440 motor on 2S We also raced my friend Xmaxx on 8S. All three cars wheelied off the line my car ran out of speed whilst the 380 spot tune on 3S and the Xmaxx where very close eventually the Xmaxx won but not by alot and yes it was running on 8S. Will have to get a video of it next time otherwise I don't think anyone would believe a 380 brushed motor to go so fast 😝😝😝
hi..im a barber im planning to upgrade my cordless clipper motor from ordinary 380 to sports tuned 380 ..question do they have the same size?they look similar but im not sure if the sportstuned 380 will fit my clipper case..also the battery that i use is a single 3.7 v lithium ..there is no space for another battery..do you think my clipper will get more power if i will be able to upgrade to a sportstuned 380 with the same 3.7 v 2200ma battery ..thnk you in advance..this is really important for me
My son has a Grasshopper with the std 380 motor. I love the fact that with a 3000 battery it lasts for around 45mins to 1hr (beach/park) If I wanted to upgrade without impacting to much on run time would the 380 sports tuned be a better option than a 540?
Depends what you want, the 540 motor has more torque so better for sand. The 380 sport tuned has lower torque but more RPM higher top speed. If it was up to me, I’d buy the Tamiya 540 Sport Tuned motor for the Grasshopper.😎 With a ball bearing set, if you haven’t already done that.👍🏻

awesome video! I have a car that came with a standard "chinese" 380 motor. I want a simple swap out. Can you recommend a 380 motor that is sport tuned with similar dimension to a standard 380 motor? i.e. it should fit. and then what about the pinion should I get one with more teeth as well to make it go faster? What would be the easiest way to improve it's performance? maybe a how to video like this with a typical chinese brushed hobby grade car that has a 380 motor upgraded simply with a better motor and or larger pinion would make a great video! your help is much appreciated!

Probably, you can swap out simply. I think that it is the easiest way to improve the performance. Can your car's motor mount adjust backlash? If so, you can replace the pinion gear. Thank you for watching : )

I have never exactly compared run time of the 380 sports tuned and 540.
Perhaps... Your choice is correct.

540 motor will be a night and day difference. You will get less run time, but way more fun time.
Depends what you want, the 540 motor has more torque so better for sand. The 380 sport tuned has lower torque but more RPM higher top speed.

Hello, thanks the video. Can you please tell if the tamiya 380 sport tuned motor is more powerful than a type 390? Thanks a lot for your reply.
Thank you for your question.
I wanna answer but I have never used a 390 motor.
Sorry...
Thanks for your feedback. It’s a T2M pirate tracker with a motor of 390 powered by 2 batteries. I wanted to upgrade it.

hi where do i get pinion for the 380 sport tuned motor ? to run on grasshopper do i reuse stock pinion and press on to sport tuned 380?
OP.1393 has a pinion shaft adapter, so you can use a pinion for 540 motors.
Was the plain 380 motor a Tamiya also? What brand was it?
380 motors in this video are TAMIYA brand.
Is this 380 motor powerful enough to handle the 1/10 RGT rock cruiser? It saids it comes with a 370 stock motor
This 380 motor is low torque high speed motor. I think the motor is not suitable for rock crawling.Thank you for watching.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on motors. I think the 380ST is a good motor.
Tamiya holiday buggy is very popular in Japan, by the way.
Is the yellow or green wire negative on the tamiya? Also can the tamiya handle a 2s lipo?
Yellow wire is positive.
About a 2s Li-Po...
Many Tamiya products are not suitable for lipo use.

I think the 380 sport tuned is great for a hornet, verry light car can profit from the light motor.
How many turns each motor?

へぇ～、使えるんだ、しかも速いし(笑)実は間違って買った370トルクチューンが2個あるのですが、明らかに芯棒の太さが違うので道具箱で眠ってました。最近、タムテックギヤのマイティーフロッグを入手、モーターを見たら370でした。芯棒の形状が違うのでピニオンを買い直さないとですが、そこでkagemanさんの他動画で見た『06』これって芯棒の太さだったんですね？370は『05』ですね？そこで普段hagemanさんが使っているTT-02Bのスパーが『64』なのですが、少し形状が違うので当てずっぽで導入している私は『66』なのです。勿論速攻Am〇zonで発注しました💛5㎞アップくらい望めるかしら？この動画とはあまり関係ない話を長々とすみません。ひょんなコトからスキルup出来た気がして…(;^_^A 途轍もなく参考になりました！！
06モジュールや64ピッチという語はモーターのシャフト径とは関係ありません。気を付けてください。また、370モーターと380モーターは各所寸法が異なるので、気を付けてください。
ありがとです。今余ってるピニオンが使えないかカラーを入れて試したところ、明らかにピッチが違いました。やはり最初は説明書通りのOPを買うのが間違いないですね。スパーに関しては06モジュールで検索したらさっきポチったスパーが出てきたので安心しました。重ねてありがとです。

Hello, can we run in 380 Tamiya sport tune with 3s. Thanks for your answer

Please, be careful!

I thought brushed motors were old-fashioned…. How wrong I was. I will try a sports tuned 380 in my 1/18 RC truck.

I also think that brushed motors are interesting as hobby.
Cool video topic, poor choice of music.
Thanks for watching.
I have great results with the 380 sport tuned in my grasshopper faster than 540 and lighter helps the handling on corners. Check my rc channel
Thank you for your comment. I will check your channel later.
A good test would be to make the 380 sport tuned car weigh the same as the 540 car since 380's are lighter.
I can understand your point very well. But in this comparison, I see the lightness of 380 motor as an advantage.
Thank you for your interesting comment : )
Love these experiments. Check out my channel where I've tested various small motors in a classic Emaxx. I will be working my way up in motor size.
Thank you for your comment.
Get rid of that fuzzy background so annoying, especially when you are trying to read stuff and that comes on.
I understand your opinion maybe...
Thank you so much.
