Hobbywing Xerun V10 8.5T G3 Motor

Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 8.5T 3970KV sensored brushless motor for drift and 2WD off-road

The Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 8.5T (part number 30401111) is a 2-pole, 3970 KV sensored brushless motor for 2S LiPo, designed for high-level racing. Hobbywing recommends it for 1/10 drift and 2WD off-road. Its high-precision Hall sensor, combined with a high-precision balanced rotor, guarantees remarkable linearity in power delivery according to the manufacturer.

Compared with the V10 G2, the G3 series uses asymmetric bearings: the front bearing is 26% larger to handle more load and the rear one is 6% smaller to reduce resistance, making the motor run more stably and smoothly. The can leaves the stator exposed to the air for better cooling. On the 5.5T to 8.5T winds, intended mainly for off-road, the standard end plate is the one with small holes, which keeps sand and dirt out.

The mechanical timing is steplessly adjustable between 20 and 50 degrees, and the anti-slip lines on the rear end plate keep the setting stable. Its re-buildable structure makes cleaning and maintenance easy. It uses a high-performance stator, pure copper wire and a rotor rated for 200 °C, high-precision bearings and high-current copper solder tabs.
