The Hyper-Dash Motor (Japanese: ハイパーダッシュモーター, Haipā Dasshu Mōtā) are the Mini 4WD motors released by Tamiya since its initial release in 1988. The single-shaft version has went through several revisions since then.

Only the Hyper-Dash Motor and Hyper-Dash 2 Motor are made by Mabuchi Motor, while Hyper-Dash 3 Motor and Hyper-Dash Motor PRO are made by SMC Motor.

General info[]

All revisions has the red endbell cap, and all but the first Hyper-Dash Motor has silver metal housing (HD1 has black housing instead).

All Hyper-Dash Motors are performs better than Rev-Tuned Motor and Light-Dash Motor on revving but has medium torque performance compared to the torque-based motors. Both HD3 and HD PRO (made by SMC Motor) use carbon brushes instead of brass brushes, allowing for longer running life.

All motors, except the original Hyper-Dash Motor, can be used in Tamiya-sanctioned race tournaments. As both the HD1 and HD2 are discontinued, only HD3 and HD PRO can be used.
