MEUS RACING TRX4M 44T 180 Pro Brushed Motor with Brass Pinion Gear for 1/18 RC Crawlers
MEUS RACING TRX4M 44T 180 Pro Brushed Motor with Brass Pinion Gear for 1/18 RC Crawlers
The MEUS RACING TRX4M Motor 44T 180 Pro Brushed Motor with brass pinion gear is a direct replacement or performance upgrade for 1/18 scale TRX4M RC crawlers including the Defender, Bronco, K10, and F150. This motor delivers a balance of torque and speed with a 44-turn winding, 13500 RPM at 7.4V, and a weight of just 0.05 kg. It is built with high-quality magnets and rotors for efficient power output, and features front and rear double ball bearings for quieter, smoother operation. The included 9.84-inch (25 cm) cable simplifies installation in tight chassis spaces.

How Does the 44T Compare to the Stock Motor?
The stock TRX4M motor is typically 87T with a 13500 RPM rating at 7.4V. The MEUS 44T motor offers a lower turn count, which trades some torque for higher speed potential while maintaining the same 13500 RPM at 7.4V. This makes it a good option for drivers who want a faster crawl or a different powerband without changing voltage. The upgraded double ball bearings also reduce friction compared to the stock bushings, contributing to a smoother running experience.
What Does the Brass Pinion Gear Offer?
The included brass pinion gear is pre-installed on the motor shaft, saving installation time. Brass is a durable material that provides consistent mesh with the spur gear, reducing wear over time. The gear is matched to the 44T motor's output shaft and pitch, so it is ready to drop into compatible TRX4M models.
Common Questions
Will this motor fit all TRX4M models?
Yes, it is designed to fit the TRX4M Defender, Bronco, K10, and F150 1/18 scale RC crawlers. Installation is a direct swap with the original motor.
Does it come with mounting screws or instructions?
The package includes the motor with the brass pinion gear attached and a 25 cm cable. Mounting hardware and instructions are not specified, so you may need to reuse screws from your stock motor.
Can I run this motor on a different voltage?
The specifications list 7.4V as the tested voltage. Running at higher voltages may exceed the motor's design limits and is not recommended without verifying compatibility with your ESC.
What is the advantage of double ball bearings?
Double ball bearings replace the bronze bushings found in many stock motors. They reduce friction, run quieter, and last longer under sustained use, making the motor more efficient and smoother in operation.
