The Yokomo RPM-DX135RR is a DX1R Type-R 13.5T brushless motor intended for drift applications on high-grip surfaces like asphalt and carpet. It keeps the established Type-R case form and adds a colour-anodized finish to the outer can and rear plate so builders can match chassis paint schemes. The unit is tuned to emphasise a high rev ceiling, smooth acceleration, and a neutral braking characteristic to aid predictable steering through transitions.
Mechanically the motor adheres to DX1R architecture with a rotor measured at D12.0xd7.25. Internally it employs revised stator and winding choices geared toward smoother rotational feel across the rev range. In practice the RPM-DX135RR targets drivers seeking a lively top end while retaining controlled braking for precise drift lines.
Fitment and compatibility advice: attach the RPM-DX135RR using the chassis motor mount hardware and verify pinion gearbox mesh before powering the car. Begin with conservative ESC timing and gentle throttle mapping suited to 13.5T characteristics, then adjust gearing and timing to match surface grip and driving approach. The anodized appearance is for aesthetics and does not alter mounting dimensions or electrical interfaces.
For UK-style drift builds prioritising a high-revving motor with predictable braking and a coordinated visual finish, the RPM-DX135RR is a straightforward option for SDR-010 series chassis and similar platforms.
