Racing Performer DX1 Type R titanium shaft motor

Yokomo have also introduced the newest version of their Racing Performer DX-1 Type-R, which is their best-selling motor for drift users. This spec features a lightweight and high quality titanium rotor shaft to further enhance the performance of the Type-R. A lighter rotor makes the throttle very smooth, while the optimised magnetic force improves high speed performance while working well with the boost and turbo functions of the speed controller. Compared to steel shafts, it is more resistant to overheating which can maximise efficiency even when running for long periods of time. In addition, by smoothing the descent of rotation when letting off the throttle, you get the feeling of rolling in the corner, which enhances control during cornering.
