Coming from Bruno RC and made for the Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 brushless motors is a new titanium motor screw set. The kit includes three M2x43mm motor can screws as well as a single M2.4x5mm alloy fastener for the sensor back plate. Using the screws over the standard steel hardware will lower the motor’s overall weight while reducing the magnetic interference at the same time, resulting in improved motor performance and agility.
