Tamiya 53486 OP-486 Commutator Cleaning Kit - Precision RC Motor Care  [53486]

Keep your electric motor clean with the Tamiya OP-486 commutator brush set

Serious RC racers know that a well maintained motor delivers predictable power and longer life. The Tamiya 53486 OP-486 Commutator Cleaning Brush Set is built to remove grime and carbon from the commutator surface, helping factory and hobby motors keep steady contact and smooth operation on race day.

Why commutator upkeep matters

A dirty commutator causes brush arcing, power loss and extra wear. Using the OP-486 brushes to remove built-up residue restores a clean contact area so your motor maintains torque and timing. Regular cleaning reduces heat and helps avoid premature maintenance problems.

How to use the OP-486 for best results

Disassemble your motor carefully to expose the commutator. Gently work the Tamiya brush over the surface to lift away deposits, then reassemble and test. For peak results, check and clean the commutator after several hard runs or whenever you notice reduced responsiveness.

How this set compares to general kits

The Tamiya 53486 OP-486 is made with motor-specific precision in mind, offering a fit and finish that generic kits may not match. For hobbyists who want repeatable results and minimal fuss, this set is a practical choice for routine maintenance.

A straightforward tool for any RC toolbox, the Tamiya OP-486 brush set helps keep motors delivering consistent performance while extending component life.
