Robitronic Razer X8L motors

Robitronic’s Razer series of motors is complete with the X8L. This 1/8 brushless car motor is specially developed to supply stable and strong power in buggy, truggy and monster truck vehicles. The casing is made from high quality aluminium which is high strength and light weight and the front plate offers up M3 and M4 screw mountings. The magnet is slotted inside the rotor, which is different from traditional motors, and this unique structure has higher security to protect the rotor from cracking at a high speed. Available in 2 different specifications, 7 and 8 turns, the X8L is longer than the X8 so you have more torque and maximum power for both is 3500 Watt.
