This guide will help you install a faster motor into your TOMY or Trackmaster engine that is fitted with the long (flat) type drive unit.
One of my favorite videos Ucwepn. It helped me out immensely when I wanted to take apart my first engine.
Thanks! they are super simple to work on after you know how they work
There is a poetic simplicity and efficiency to these flat drives, I started out hating them hehe
So what is the faster motor I need??
Many thanks! What a helpful place this is
Yes Tramp is right I have used those "Hyper dash 2" and another favorite is the "power dash" both are a great mix of battery consumption versus speed. Ultra dash/plasma dash and higher I don't recommend unless you are running 3v+ and using high mah rechargeable batteries their current draw is double than say from a power dash.
Here are some of the motors with their specs
top rpm is uloaded, lower rpm is loaded
g-cm refers to the torque
mA refers to the battery consumption
TORQUE TUNED MOTOR
13,600 RPM
14.5 g-cm.
Good for uphills and curves. Tech motor
1200 mA
12000 RPM
REV TUNED MOTOR
17,600 RPM
10 g-cm.
Good top speed for tech straights. Tech motor
1500 mA
14300 RPM
ATOMIC TUNED MOTOR
15,700 RPM
10 g-cm.
Best for super technical courses.
1300 mA
15700 RPM
PLASMA DASH MOTOR
29,000 RPM
20 g-cm.
Raw power for speed tracks.
4100 mA
25000 RPM
MACH DASH MOTOR (no longer made, Power dash is similar)
23,400 RPM
15 g-cm.
Faster than a Hyper dash. Speed Motor
1900 mA
20,800 RPM
ULTRA DASH MOTOR
29,000 RPM
20 g-cm.
Good climbing motor. Speed with uphills
4000 mA
24,000 RPM
JET DASH MOTOR
23,000 RPM
22 g-cm.
High top speed with high torque. Speed motor
4000 mA
28,000 RPM
Nice find Super! The racing scene is very big in Japan and some other countries. It is great for us as it provides many possibilities for upgrades to our locomotives
