Rocket-RC Taurus V2 1:8 Competition Motor

Surpass Hobby has released their latest 1:8 competition brushless motor, the Rocket-RC Taurus V2.  Complying with IFMAR, EFRA, ROAR and BRCA specificiations, the Taurus V2 features an optimised design for improved efficiency and reduce running temperature.  Except for two screws for adjusting the timing angle, it uses a screwless structural design of 4-pole 12-slot high-torque motor.  The motor timing angle can be accurately adjusted in both directions without deviation to meet the power needs.  The Hall sensor is installed on the bottom cover of the motor, effectively avoiding magnetic interference; the temperature of the bottom cover is low and the IC has a longer service life.  The heat dissipation shell is CNC machined from 6061 T6 aluminium while the front end cover uses 4 M3 and 4 M4 screw holes making it suitable for various mounting bases.  The V2 adopts 0.2mm ultra-thin silicon steel stator and detachable/replaceable rotor design with NMB high-speed oversized bearings for smooth wear-resistant running.  Surpass use high purity high temperature resistant 2200C copper wire, stable performance and longer life.  Suitable for 1:8 electric onroad RVs, offroad and trucks, it feature excellent waterproof and dustproof performance (except Onroad version) and can easily cope with various rain or dusty offroad environments.
