Scorpion 540-size competition brushless motors

Scorpion 540-size competition brushless motors

Some time ago we reported about Scorpion Power System, long known for their high-performance aircraft brushless motors, entering the car market. After extensive testing with the help of internationally experienced drivers like Meen V. and Charlee P. the motors are now ready to hit the market. We have no detailed information about the specifications and features but looking at the image Scorpion dealer/distributor Spec-R released, the motors build on a 3-piece can with a heatsink middle part with large ventilation openings who also act as windows to check the winding markings. The front and rear endplates sport huge milled out sections, again to help with airflow. Also visible are heavy duty solder tabs. For now the motors will become available as 4.5T to 8.5T “Modified” and 10.5T and 13.5T “Stock” variant.
