SkyRC FuriaX Hyper Agile Motor

Following the release of their FuriaX Supa Agile motor, SkyRC introduces the FuriaX Hyper Agile 1:10 sensored brushless motor engineered specifically for RC drifting, where rhythm, precision, and thermal stability matter as much as raw power. Available in 10.5T for punch or 13.5T for flow, Hyper Agile shares the same performance DNA across both options—different feel, the same precision. Its sensored architecture delivers smooth, predictable throttle response, while built-in rear active air cooling and a bottom-mounted fan manage heat during long, high-load drift sessions. With wide 3.5V–9V operation, coordinated cooling for both motor and ESC via the included Y-cable, and dual-orientation gold-plated terminals for flexible wiring, Hyper Agile stays consistent run after run giving drivers the confidence to push further without losing feel.
