I put the Sport Tuned in my Grasshopper and I am very impressed with it. Really moves it out. Anymore power and it would uncontrollable on dirt. I bet that EVO will really move out now.
Nice! It should be good in this one but you probably can go with a much faster motor because it is like a DT02 now and those you can make real fast. Thanks
I wish that Tamiya still made the "Sport Tuned" motors in black. The motor is probably the same but it is no longer in black. I would not thread lock the motor to the motor mount. Why? The motor mount is plastic and it will not have a problem. I also do not like to thread lock the pinion gear either. Why? If I want to change the pinion, it will be easier if the motor and the pinion are not thread locked. The Tamiya original pinion is aluminum and probably does not need thread lock. However, you said that you are using a different pinion that is steel. You might need thread lock for the steel pinion gear. Thoughts?
Hi thanks for watching, I always use thread lock on motor screws been doing it for 40 years! This is why I use the tamiya Gel type and I only put it inside the motor screws threaded holes and not on the screws so no thread lock gets on plastic this way. Also the tamiya Gel type thread lock supposed to be plastic safe from what I always heard about it. But even using my method above I used normal thread lock without any problems also. and with pinion gears it's a must most everyone thread locks them even all the companies selling ready to run cars thread lock the pinion gears. been doing it for ever and never had any problems.
@@ShenRC If the motor mount is made of metal I would use thread lock. If the pinion gear is made of steel and not aluminum I would also use thread lock. You mentioned "ready to run" cars use thread lock on the pinion gears and you are right. In fact I was not able to remove a pinion gear on a LOSI car because of the thread lock. Thoughts?
@@alfredyost7972 Hi you need a good set of hex wrenches they fit the allen grub screws much better. Also a mini blow torch hit the pinion gear grub screw real fast heat it up a little and the screws will come right out easy that were thred locked in.
Nice increase in RPM. That is a lot of spring spacers on the rear. Wonder if the hop up dt-02 springs would fit? Dunno if they would be any heavier though.
I run that same motor in my Manta Ray (but I just got 2 Kyosho G14L motors) Wow red threadlock, ever have problems getting it out later? I use the blue for removable stuff like a motor. Looking forward to seeing it in action, that is a great RPM increase!

@@ShenRC I'm sure the DT02 gearbox can handle more motor, but can the axles? LOL!! :) Can't wait to see how fast it is with the Sport Tuned!
@@arkyrc Yeah I guess, let's hope my weak axle was just a bad one. 👍👍
This motor's so great. It was the first upgrade in my Lunch Box back in those days. Effortable and direct increasing speed.
Right on, Hope she runs like a beauty now! Thanks
hell yea, this is the exact motor im going to put in my brothers EVO.
Cool! Thanks for looking
awesome upgrade today Steve!! More RPMs baby!!
Thanks! now to rip up the ground with it!
I put a sport tuned in my EVO one day one, perfect motor for it!
Nice!! Thanks for watching.
The radio you matched up with that is awesome 👍
Yep Ko Propo best radios ever! Thanks
Nice upgrade Steve! The Sport and Torque tuned are great options!
👍😊
Yep, those motors are excellent. Thanks
Can't go wrong with a sport tuned brother
👋😀
😁👍 thanks can't wait to see what you do with your hornet evo!
great upgrade
I think so too! Thanks
Cool as always
Thanks. 😁👍👍
That should put a little pep in its step! I upgraded the motor in mine as well, should be fun! I'm a little over half way through the build now.
Nice! I think it should be ok I may need it faster! Can't wait to see your EVO all done up!
Fantastic 😊 love it
Cool! Thanks
That seem a nice power increase, just the right amount to make it super fun.
Definitely! Should be good enough..... maybe not?
Nice job Man that thing is gonna rip! Either way not a big fan of the motor hanging out the back so far on a Hornet. Cheers JH
Thanks, yeah the motor hanging out is a little odd.

Hi thanks, they should fit, with more spacers it does turn better now.
@ShenRC sweet!

Hi that's cool! I did use blue the tube is just red I don't know why they use all red tubes for all the types?
@@ShenRC @6:50 you are putting red thread locker (not from a tube) onto the motor.
@@Houleigan O that's the tamiya gel stuff it's weak and I think they say it's safe to get on plastics also 👍👍
@@ShenRC Ahh did know that. Well keep up the awesome vids!
Tamiya needs to let us put the stick on the motors. They’re always clocked wrong
yeah they never line up so you can see them!
More torque and rpm
I was surprised americans did not have an own way to measure the rotation 😂
Sport Tuned is nice upgrade for simpler Tamiya
Hi those tachometers are great and cheap on amazon you can use it for a lot of stuff. 👍
Ooooh just put 20tooth pin gear go for it
Hi19T is the largest you can go with this one.👍👍
