Yokomo RPM-DX105RP 10.5T Drift Motor - Compatible with YD-2 Style Chassis  [RPM-DX105RP]

DX1R Series 10.5T: key drift features

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.

Confirm motor mount geometry and clearance before fitting the RPM-DX105RP, and pair it with an ESC set up for 10.5T sensorless operation to achieve the intended smooth acceleration and high-rpm performance on asphalt or carpet tracks.
