The ICON Pro 1/8th scale motor was developed to produce high yet smooth torque and power delivery from mid to top, it utilises a machined aluminium heatsink design case, sensored technology and a separate magnet ring that insures a clear signal and protects the hall sensing system from other signal interference. The motor is available in 1950kV and 2150kV variants and also including the FR-8 Pro speed controller.

Features:
– Designed in the USA
– 4-pole/8-magnet staggered rotor for the ultimate combination of super smooth power, acceleration, punch, and torque.
– High-strength and heat resistant magnet formula
– Precision dynamic balanced rotor
– Advanced hall sensing system utilizes a separate magnet ring that insures a clear signal and protects the hall sensing system from other signal interference
– Precision CNC machined aluminum alloy case
– High heat resistant pure copper wire
– Sensored and sensorless compatibility
– Replaceable sensor board
– Replaceable rotor
– 2S to 6S LiPo/LiHV voltage range
– High RPM precision bearings
– Meets ROAR specifications

Specifications:
– Cells: 2-6S LiPo
– Diameter (mm): 40.0/42.0
– Length (mm): 70.5
– Shaft Diameter (mm): 5.0
– Weight (g): 350
