Yokomo RPM-DX135RR DX1R Type-R brushless motor (13.5T) for drift tuning  [RPM-DX135RR]

DX1R Type-R 13.5T drift motor

The Yokomo RPM-DX135RR is a DX1R Type-R class 13.5T brushless motor tuned for drift use on high-grip surfaces such as asphalt and carpet. The unit retains the established Type-R case geometry while adding a color-anodized finish across the can and back plate to match common chassis color schemes, notably YD-2 variants. The motor emphasizes high rotational speed with smooth acceleration and a neutral braking feel intended to reduce sudden understeer during transitions.

Mechanically the design follows the DX1R layout and the rotor dimension is listed as D12.0xd7.25. Internally the motor uses updated stator and coil assemblies aimed at smoother rotation across the rev range. In practice this motor is positioned for drivers who want a responsive, high-revving feel for drift setups while preserving controllable neutral braking characteristics.

Installation and tuning notes: fit the RPM-DX135RR to compatible drift chassis using the existing motor mount hardware and confirm pinion mesh before running. Tune ESC timing and throttle curves to suit a 13.5T profile and adjust gearing for the intended surface and driving style. Visual match of the anodized can to chassis paint can simplify aesthetic builds without affecting mounting or electrical connections.

Compatible chassis

• SDR-010
• SDR-010LTS

For drift-oriented RC builds that prioritise a high-rev, smooth-response motor and coordinated chassis aesthetics, the RPM-DX135RR provides a plug-in option with color-matched styling and a tuning-friendly behavior on asphalt and carpet surfaces.
