Speedzone Peerless Series BL motor line

Speedzone “Peerless” Series BL motor line comes in a variety of turns and is built with the highest quality and tolerance. Engineered for 1/12 and 1/10 scale R/C vehicles, the motors are available in standard 540 and 550 sizes. The 550 versions are specifically designed for the Short Course 4WD class. And with the growing popularity of SC, Speedzone also has a 2wd Short Course Edition in the 540 line-up. Motors are bench tested to ensure sensor, stator and dual precision bearing seating are all functioning to a strict quality control. The Peerless design features symmetrical vent openings, which in conjunction with the case and stator structure reduces the motor temperature and maximizes efficiency during an operating cycle. The end result is a stronger motor carrying the maximum torque and rpm with less fade during a race, all contributing factors to a longer life span for the motor.
