Speed Passion Blaze short course motor

Speed Passion introduce the new Blaze series of sensored and sensorless brushless motors for 1/10th scale short course applications. Designed to bridge the gap between raw power and high efficiency the Blaze series motors feature an innovative motor design to provide power and efficiency for both indoor and outdoor tracks. The design translates to more power, longer runtimes, and less motor heat while providing stronger and smoother braking at the same time. The motors are inspired by the World Champion MMM series motors and will become available as 4600kv and 5700kv variant.
