Wondering what motor to put in your 1/10 touring car? In stock, the most popular is the Hobbywing Justock. In modified, it's the Hobbywing V10 G3, and in brushed, the Tamiya Torque-Tuned. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App since January 2024: 518 racers named a touring car motor. 4WD and FWD cars run the same motors, so we counted them together and point out where they differ.
The percentage under each motor is the share of racers in that section who run it. Check your class rules first, since they usually decide the wind. Counts updated November 2026.

We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/10 electric touring cars, 4WD and FWD. A racer counts once per motor no matter how many setups they've saved, and a value only counts if the racer entered it themselves, not if it came along with a copied setup. A brushless wind of 13.5 or higher counts as stock and anything lower as modified. A racer who runs more than one class counts in each. Motors that come in ready-to-run cars aren't counted. Plenty of racers leave out the model or the wind, so these rankings only cover the ones who entered both.
