The Light-Dash Motor sits at a power level Tamiya places between the Atomic Tuned motor and the Hyper Dash 2, giving balanced output rather than favoring pure top speed or pure acceleration. It's positioned as a general-purpose motor suited to a range of circuit layouts rather than one course type. It uses durable brushes for consistent performance across runs, and its relatively low current draw is stated to give a stable drive. The motor is identified by its yellow end bell.

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.
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.
