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

Compact introduction and intended use

This Super Stock motor is a 23-turn brushed unit intended for 1/10 scale touring and stock-class RC cars. It serves as a direct-replacement motor for stock racing classes and a baseline option for tuning and setup work. The VZ designation indicates its series identity within the same class rather than implying aftermarket modifications.

Practical fitment and installation notes

• Compatibility: Fits standard 1/10 touring motor mounts and common motor plates used in touring and on-road chassis.
• Mounting: Use the vehicle's stock motor screws and align the pinion gear to the spur gear with minimal mesh slack; check mesh after a short run-in.
• Connections: Typical soldered or crimped motor lead terminations are used; ensure secure connection to the ESC or connector harness per your chassis wiring.
• Running-in: Perform a gentle run-in procedure under light load to seat brushes and avoid excessive heat during the first minutes of operation.

Setup and tuning considerations

• Pair with stock-class gearing and tires appropriate for race rules to keep power delivery predictable.
• Monitor motor temperature during setup—consistent moderate heat is normal, but excessive heat indicates gear mesh, binding, or incorrect gearing.
• Adjust pinion size only within class limits; small changes affect acceleration and top speed and should be tested on-track.
• Regularly inspect commutator and brushes as part of routine maintenance to preserve smooth throttle response.
