Default Revolver Black SALE!

Looking for an inexpensive motor for your scale rig, a spare motor, or just a hoss motor to pull around your beer sled? The Revolver is the perfect motor for you, especially since they are on sale for $35! These have more torque and power than any brushed motor available (besides the old Cobalt Pullers), and work great on 3s and 4s lipo.


You will need a sensorless ESC to control the motor. We recommend Tekin and Castle products made for 1/10th scale vehicles.


Get some cheap and powerful motors to thrash and bash on, only while supplies last. Run them in water! Run them in a bucket of sand! Just don't complain when you ruin it!

I have one of these in my LNC and on only 2s it has enough power to destroy my entire drivetrain if I am not paying attention to it when it bind up in a hole or undercut. I have a backup but may end up picking up one or 2 of these anyways, they are nice and small and STRONG! I am anxious to see how they perform on the HH 3s cells I just ordered. Can't beat this price.

Drag is stronger than a handwound brushed motor at neutral. They have decent detent torque when you are on throttle as well. Never had an issue with drag.

What is detent torque? Do they have good low speed control being that they are unsensored?

Low speed control will depend on your controller. If you have everything bound up it will jitter and cog trying to start up. Once you are rolling just a bit they will have good throttle control.

Detent torque is how hard it is to turn the motor. More detent torque gives the motor natural drag, which keeps the motor from revving up when you are going downhill on throttle.

Gotcha, I just ordered one. How do you think it would do in an AX-10?

Pretty nice. More torque than you need.


These motors were all the rage 3 to 4 years ago before sensored controllers came to market.

Your right, maybe I will save it for the TTC build I want to do over the winter. Thanks!
