Exactly the same dimensions as the stock motor, just faster. **Q: I have an original sand scorcher, will this be a straight replacement or would i need an extended pinion? i have just bought an upgraded esc for it.** A: Hi , not entirely sure , but I think the sport tuned motor ( and standard 540 motors ) have a slightly bigger diameter than old 540 motors . You may have to Dremel out the motor bay ever so slightly and remove a lug . Check out Tamiya forums .I've found information about this online , but having never had a sand scorcher i can't be sure sorry ! **Q: Will it work for tamiya 4wd mini kits?** A: I’m 90 percent sure it won’t fit! I used one in monster beetle and thats 1/10 or 1/12 scale ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super quality motor *by M***D on 1 March 2026* Super quality motor ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big upgrade from standard 540 *by M***N on 20 February 2024* Upgraded my sand vipers silver can 540. Very noticeable improvement in torque and top speed with 17t pinion. The car is really rapid now ! Definitely fast enough me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheapest available at the time. *by I***X on 2 May 2025* I have bought two of these in recent weeks. I have fitted one to my MF01X Golf and another to my TL01 chassis. They work perfectly and a marked improvement over a basic silver can. I have put the torque tuned from the Golf in a Hornet. For the money I recommend these and mine came on the same day as ordering. When I ordered they only were about five pound more than the alternative torque tuned motor which are also good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya 300053068 Electric Motor 540 Sport Tuned - Tamiya 54358 RS-540 Torque-Tuned Motor - Winter Evening - for Tamiya Lunchbox, Grasshopper, Hornet Bearings (10 Pcs Bearing Kit) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49280568-300053068-electric-motor-540-sport-tuned](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49280568-300053068-electric-motor-540-sport-tuned) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
