XERUN 4268 AND 4274 G3 MOTORS

XERUN 4268 AND 4274 G3 MOTORS

The Hobbywing XERUN 4268 and 4274 G3 motors are part of Hobbywing's premium 1/8 scale brushless motor lineup, designed for high-performance off-road and on-road RC applications. These motors are well-suited for 1/8 scale buggies, truggies, monster trucks, and touring cars that require substantial torque and speed. The G3 series brings improvements in efficiency, heat dissipation, and tunability compared to previous generations, making them a top choice for competitive racing and hobby use alike.

Key Features of the Hobbywing XERUN 4268/4274 G3 Motors:

  1. Two Size Variants (4268 and 4274):

    • The 4268 model features a 68mm length and is ideal for lighter or more compact 1/8 scale vehicles.
    • The 4274 model has a 74mm length, offering increased torque and power for heavier 1/8 scale vehicles like truggies or monster trucks.
    • Both motors share the same 42mm diameter, with the longer 4274 providing more power due to its additional rotor length.

  2. High-Efficiency Design:

    • The G3 series motors feature a high-efficiency design that minimizes heat generation and maximizes power output. This is especially important in long races where thermal performance is crucial for maintaining power and reliability.

  3. 4-Pole Rotor Design:

    • Both motors use a 4-pole rotor, which provides high torque, smooth power delivery, and excellent efficiency. This rotor design is optimized for low-end torque and quick acceleration, making it perfect for off-road racing or high-speed on-road applications.

  4. Sensored Operation:

    • The XERUN G3 motors feature full sensored operation, allowing for smooth and precise throttle control across the entire RPM range. This is essential for competitive racing, as it allows for better low-speed control and a linear power band.

  5. Adjustable Timing:

    • These motors come with adjustable mechanical timing, enabling fine-tuning of the motor’s performance to suit different track conditions, vehicle setups, or personal driving preferences. Adjusting the timing allows you to optimize the motor for either more top speed or more low-end torque, depending on the requirements of your setup.

  6. Large Heat Sink Design:

    • Both the 4268 and 4274 G3 motors feature a machined aluminum housing with large heat sink ribs to improve heat dissipation. This design helps the motor stay cooler during extended high-power runs, increasing overall efficiency and performance.

  7. Low Internal Resistance:

    • The G3 motors are built with low internal resistance for maximum efficiency. This allows the motors to convert more battery power into usable torque and RPM, giving you longer run times and higher performance.

  8. Optimized for 2S to 6S LiPo:

    • The motors are designed to work with 2S to 6S LiPo batteries, offering flexibility depending on your setup. Higher cell counts (such as 4S or 6S) deliver massive power for larger vehicles, while lower counts (like 2S or 3S) are suitable for lighter, less power-hungry models.

  9. High-Torque Output:

    • Both motors are capable of delivering high torque output, which is crucial for quick acceleration and handling challenging off-road terrain. The longer 4274 motor is especially well-suited for vehicles that require even more torque due to their larger size or heavier weight.

  10. Waterproof Sensor Port:

    • The motor comes with a waterproof sensor port, ensuring consistent performance even in wet or dusty conditions. This is particularly important for off-road racing where exposure to the elements is common.

  11. Compatible with Most ESCs:

    • The XERUN 4268 and 4274 G3 motors are compatible with most high-performance sensored and sensorless ESCs, but they work especially well with Hobbywing’s XERUN ESCs, such as the XR8 Pro or XR8 Plus, for seamless integration and performance optimization.
