LRP Vector X20 brushless motor

LRP introduce the Vector X20 modified brushless motor. Developed completely from scratch it is designed for highest efficiency and maximum power output. The result of the new design is more power and higher rating at improved temperature characteristics and lowest friction. A novelty of the new technology is the dual axis balanced 12.5mm sintered worksteam rotor resulting in an absolutely precise running and increased efficiency. The larger sized ball bearings and LRP’s PreciSensor system also contribute to the performance of the motors. The CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium housing sports optimised cut-outs for best heat absorption and lowest running temperatures of the motor that are available from 4.5T to 9.5T with 4.0T, 5.0T and 10.5T variants will complete the line in the near future.
