Overview of the Tamiya 15455 JR Light-Dash Motor

The JR Light-Dash Motor from Tamiya 15455 is built to boost the racing performance of Mini 4WD cars. Its metal brush construction helps reduce electrical loss and delivers steadier output, making it a practical choice for racers who value consistent lap times.

Main advantages

  • Robust build: Metal brush components prolong service life and keep performance steady under repeated runs.
  • Better efficiency: Lower power loss means the motor converts more battery energy into usable drive.
  • Visual ID: The yellow endbell makes it simple to spot when swapping parts trackside.

Fitment and usage

This motor fits Mini 4WD and Dangun Racer platforms and works with a variety of chassis layouts. It performs best within a 2.4-3.0V operating range, suitable for competitive set ups where controllable power is important.

Tuning and rpm range

With an RPM window around 14,600-17,800, the unit offers predictable behaviour for gearing and tuning changes. The recommended torque load is 1.3-1.9 mN.m, giving a balance between acceleration and stability on most standard tracks.

Most mainstream Mini 4WD and Dangun Racer chassis accept the motor straight away. Check gearbox pinion clearance and mounting plates before final installation to confirm fit.
Keep brushes and commutator free of dust, avoid prolonged high-voltage runs, and lubricate bearings sparingly. Routine inspections after race days help catch wear early.
Running above the specified 2.4-3.0V range risks excessive wear and overheating. If you need higher top speed, consider gearing or chassis weight reduction rather than overvolting.
