More Power in the Perfect Size

The XeRun AXE 4987 R3S crawler motor features a 49.5mm diameter and an 87mm can length. Compared with conventional 4990-class motors, its overall length is reduced by approximately 3mm, while power output is increased by around 8%. Under the same load conditions, the motor generates less heat, helping maintain consistent performance while providing stronger acceleration and punch.

Climbing Motor

Perfectly Matched with the XeRun AXE Plus R3 ESC

When paired with the XeRun AXE Plus R3 ESC, the AXE 4987 R3S motor delivers incredibly smooth low-speed operation and tremendous low-end torque, providing a level of control and driving feel that far exceeds conventional sensored power system for RC crawlers.
