Reds Racing VX3 competition brushless motor

Following a first teaser image Reds Racing have fully unveiled their new VX3 540-size electric brushless motor. The 2-pole motor is of a new internal structure design with a higher quality precision balanced Neodymium high-temperature rotor that improves power and torque noticeably compared to the Gen 2 motor. It also incorporates copper wires and low resistance collector rings that allow for a very low internal resistance and thus greater power supply and less heat build-up. To this adds an improved cooling system with the unique VX3 housing being designed to guarantee optimised heat dissipation and maximised cooling. The motor will become available as 4.5T to 8.5T modified as well as 10.5T to 25.5T stock class motors, the latter will see the addition of a special 13.5T high-torque variant.
