Mini 4WD Ultra-Dash Motor Guide
Ultra-Dash (15307) publishes 24,000-27,500 RPM and 4-5 A. Why official Tamiya races exclude it, what it does to AA cells, and when a club may still allow it.

The Ultra-Dash Motor is a high-power option that pairs strong top speed with enough torque to climb steep slopes without bogging down, making it a well-rounded choice for courses that mix straights and hill sections. It runs on durable carbon brushes for consistent performance over repeated runs.
Its 4-5A current draw is markedly higher than the Power-Dash Motor's (No.317, 2.5-3.3A), which is likely why its chassis compatibility is also narrower, limited to FM-A, Super-II, Super X, Super XX, VS and AR platforms rated for that extra current rather than the near-universal fit of lower-power motors. That same six-chassis list matches Tamiya's Gold Plated Terminal Set (No.237), sold specifically to carry higher current to motors like this one without the resistive losses of the stock terminal plating.

Hyper-Dash 3 (15477) is Tamiya's usual Mini 4WD race motor: 17,200-21,200 RPM, 1.4-1.9 mN·m, 1.6-3.0 A. Gear pairing, the PRO twin, and J-CUP 2026.
A practical Tamiya motor chart starts with the course, not a fastest claim. Compare motor families, current draw and gear matching, then confirm race legality.
