H.A.R.D. have released this new X3 stock electric motor, which has been engineered to exceed the standard performance of other kit motors. This 540 size brushed stock motor was created to provide unmatched power right out of the box and sports a beefy 18 turn armature. Unlike other entry level motors, the X3 features an internal cooling fan to remove heat, which helps improve performance as well as extending the life of the motor.

We recently told you about the new range of Brushless Pro motors from GM Racing, but to add to the range that was already announced, a 6T version is also now available. This is the motor the current British Champion Chris Grainger has been using recently with great success, winning the recent Aldershot BRCA National. The 6T delta winding is equivalent to a regular 3T, with the delta type winding giving greater efficiency and therefore run time over the normal Y type winding as per most current brushless motors. Pricing on this motor is also extremely competitive but does not reflect its awesome performance.

This motor has been approved by the DMC (German RC car Federation) for use as the spec motor in the 2wd and 4wd buggy championships, but can also be used as a spec motor in touring car classes.
