Yokomo RPM-DX135RA Brushless Drift Motor DX1R TypeR 13.5T  [RPM-DX135RA]

DX1R TypeR 13.5T Drift Motor

The Yokomo RPM-DX135RA is a dedicated brushless drift motor from the DX1R lineup tuned for high-grip surfaces and short, technical drift circuits. Team Yokomo developed the DX1R variant to reach high rpm smoothly while preserving traction response on medium-grip asphalt and tile surfaces. The product description emphasizes a TypeR 13.5T profile that balances top-end rotation with controllable throttle response for drift driving.

Design highlights include revised stator and coil constructions that differ from the DX1T variant, a new motor case aimed at improved cooling, and a rotor dimension reported as D12.0xd7.25. The updated case reduces heat sag during extended drift sessions, helping maintain consistent output where thermal drift can otherwise affect performance.

Installation notes: the RPM-DX135RA fits the SDR-010 and SDR-010LTS chassis as listed, and should be mounted using the same motor mount pattern provided by those platforms. For ESC setup, pair the motor with a brushless-capable ESC and calibrate throttle endpoints and timing to match the DX1R’s smoother high-rpm character; conservative timing and linear throttle maps help retain the predictable traction the DX1R targets.

Tuning role: use the DX1R 13.5T when your track or practice surface has moderate grip and you need a motor that accelerates cleanly into high revs without abrupt torque spikes. Adjust gearing and ESC curves to tune wheelspin and transition behaviour for your chassis setup and tyre choice.

The RPM-DX135RA TypeR 13.5T is aimed at drivers wanting predictable high-rpm behaviour on medium-grip surfaces and short drift layouts. Its tuned stator/coil pairing and improved cooling case make it a focused option for SDR-010 series chassis where heat control and consistent throttle response matter.
