Maclan Racing MR8.2 1/8 sensored brushless motor

Maclan Racing have announced the new MR8.2 1/8 brushless series of motors. The MR8.2’s new design is set to deliver balanced power and smoothness thanks to a combination of a 12-slot stator with a strong, staggered 4-pole, 8-magnet rotor that is constructed to be smooth and powerful while increasing durability. An all-new error-free sensor unit design with separate sensor magnet will minimise the signal noise the often can damage speed controllers. The series will include 1500kv, 1950kv, and 2150kv buggy style motors as well as a dedicated 2100kv truggy variant.
