1:8+ Brushless Motors for RC Cars

Put down serious power in your 1/8-1/7 buggy, truggy or monster truck with our range of 1:8+ brushless motors from Hobbywing, Tekin, Castle Creations, Nosram and LRP. Choose sensored for smooth throttle and precise control, or sensorless for simple, robust setups. Popular can sizes like 36-42mm (e.g. 4268/4274, 1512/1515/1717) cover everything from club racing to high-speed bashing. Match kV to your voltage and tyre size — lower kV (1900-2200kV) suits 6S torque and longer runs, higher kV (2400-2650kV) pairs well with 4S setups and lighter cars. Check shaft diameter (typically 5mm), mounting pattern, and ESC current rating; many models are ideal with 4S/6S, while some 1/7 rigs and speed builds use 8S.

If you’re upgrading, consider gearing and temperatures: start conservatively, monitor temps, and add a fan or heatsink if needed. Our knowledgeable customer service team are happy to help you pick the right motor for your chassis and ESC.
