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

Overview and intended use

This Super Stock motor is a 23-turn brushed unit built for 1/10 scale touring and stock-class on-road cars. It is suitable as a direct replacement in stock racing classes and serves as a straightforward baseline for setup and tuning. The VZ tag marks its place in the series rather than indicating aftermarket modification.

Fitment advice and installation tips

• Compatibility: Designed to fit standard 1/10 touring motor mounts and common motor plates found on on-road chassis.
• Mounting: Secure using the chassis motor screws, align the pinion to the spur with minimal slack, and recheck gear mesh after initial short runs.
• Connections: Use soldered or crimped motor leads as per your chassis wiring and make sure the connection to the ESC or harness is tight and insulated.
• Running-in: Carry out a gentle run-in under light load to seat the brushes; avoid heavy throttle until the motor settles and temperatures stabilise.

Tuning and setup guidance

• Use stock-class gearing and control tyres that match race regulations to keep power delivery consistent.
• Watch motor temperature while adjusting gear ratios; moderate warmth is normal but high heat points to mesh issues, binding, or unsuitable gearing.
• Change pinion size only within class limits and test small steps on track to tune acceleration versus top speed.
• Include commutator and brush checks in routine maintenance to keep throttle response smooth.
