RC motors: the power source for your model building adventure
RC motors are the heart of every remote-controlled model. Whether you're driving a fast RC car, a powerful RC truck, or an impressive RC tank – the right motor determines how much fun you'll have with your model building projects. At Tamiya, you'll find a wide selection of high-quality RC motors, perfectly suited to different needs and models.
Electric motors in RC model building: brushed and brushless
Brushed RC motors: ideal for beginners
Brushed RC motors are often the first choice for beginners in model building. These motors have carbon brushes inside that are responsible for transferring electricity. The technology is simple, easy to understand, and allows for straightforward maintenance. Brushed motors are affordable and are perfect for models where top speed is not the priority, such as RC crawlers or RC drift cars. They are ideal for those who want to gain their first experience in RC model building.
Brushless RC motors: powerful and durable
For ambitious model builders looking to get the most out of their vehicles, brushless RC motors are the perfect choice. These motors are brushless, meaning they have no moving parts for electrical transfer. As a result, they are almost maintenance-free, more durable, and offer significantly better performance. Brushless motors for RC cars are known for their high RPM and instant torque, enabling your models to accelerate faster and reach higher speeds. These motors are ideal for racing vehicles and models designed for performance.
Electric motors vs. combustion engines
In RC model building, there are generally two types of motors: electric motors and combustion engines. At Tamiya, we focus entirely on RC electric motors, as they offer many advantages, especially for model builders who value easy handling and low maintenance.
Easy handling and environmentally friendly
Electric motors are easy to operate. Unlike combustion engines, they don’t require fuel and are ready to use as soon as the battery is charged. They produce no emissions, making them more environmentally friendly and suitable for use indoors or in the garden without restrictions. This makes them the ideal choice for those who want to use their models flexibly.
Low maintenance and quiet operation
One of the major advantages of RC electric motors is that they are low maintenance compared to combustion engines. You won’t need to adjust carburettors or deal with leftover oil and dirt. Additionally, electric motors are quiet, which is especially beneficial if you're operating them in residential areas or indoors.
Using and maintaining RC motors correctly
Even though brushless RC motors require minimal maintenance, there are a few things you should keep in mind to maximise their lifespan. Ensure that the motor is well ventilated, especially when operating at high speeds and under heavy loads. For brushed motors, it's a good idea to regularly check the brushes for wear and replace them if necessary to maintain consistent performance.
RC motors for every model and requirement
Whether you're just starting out in model building or are already an experienced hobbyist – Tamiya’s RC motors offer the right solution for every need. With brushed motors, you get a solid, affordable option for your first models, while brushless motors provide maximum performance and efficiency. Discover our wide range of RC electric motors and make sure your model always runs with optimal power.
