Description
The Power-Dash Motor delivers plenty of torque, making it well suited to technical circuits with numerous slope sections rather than pure top-speed straights. It's identifiable by its dark green end bell and, like Tamiya's other performance dash motors, uses durable carbon brushes for consistent output over repeated runs.
- Input voltage: 2.4-3.0V
- RPM: 19,900-23,600
- Current consumption: 2.5-3.3A
- Dark green end bell, carbon brush construction
- Part of Mini 4WD Grade-Up Parts No.317
Its lower current draw compared with the Ultra-Dash Motor (No.307, 2.5-3.3A versus 4-5A) is reflected in a much wider chassis compatibility list, covering essentially the entire Mini 4WD range from the Type 3 through current releases, rather than being restricted to the higher-power-rated chassis the Ultra-Dash needs. That makes it the more broadly usable of Tamiya's two dash motors, at the cost of the Ultra-Dash's higher top-end RPM.
