Yokomo RPM-DX105RP DX1R Series 10.5T Brushless Motor for YD-2 Compatible Chassis  [RPM-DX105RP]

10.5T DX1R drift unit explained

The Yokomo RPM-DX105RP is a 10.5T brushless motor from the DX1R line designed for RC-scale drift applications. Its distinguishing feature in this release is a color anodized finish applied to the motor case and back plate, offered in red and purple variants to visually match YD-2 style chassis. The motor remains an RC component and is intended for scale drift cars rather than full-size vehicles.

Mechanically the unit keeps the familiar Type-R case design while adopting updated stator and coil elements aimed at delivering smoother rotation and higher peak rotational speed. The product notes a rotor diameter of D12.0xd7.25, and the 10.5T winding targets high-revving behaviour suitable for high-traction surfaces such as asphalt and carpet.

For tuners and builders the RPM-DX105RP serves as a predictable, smooth-accelerating option that helps maintain neutral steering under moderate throttle, which can reduce understeer tendencies on paved or carpeted tracks. Color-matched anodizing is a cosmetic choice that also provides corrosion resistance to the external casing surface.

Before fitting, check motor mount alignment and wiring clearance specific to your chassis. Use an ESC tuned for sensorless 10.5T motors to retain the intended rev range and silky throttle transitions on both asphalt and carpet track surfaces.
