Key Features
- 9T 570 Size Brushed Motor — The 9T winding configuration paired with the compact 570 motor size creates the ideal balance between acceleration and top speed, whilst the brushed design offers smooth power delivery that's perfect for drivers of all skill levels.
- Internal Fan for Temperature Control — An integrated cooling fan keeps the motor running at optimal temperatures during extended use, which helps maintain consistent performance and extends the motor's operational lifespan even during intense driving sessions.
- Flux Ring Technology — The built-in flux ring increases motor torque across the rev range, giving you more pulling power when you need it and making the motor more responsive to throttle inputs during acceleration and climbing.
- 4mm Male Bullet Connectors — The motor comes fitted with industry-standard 4mm male bullet connectors and 16awg wire, making it simple to connect to your ESC without requiring any soldering or complex wiring modifications.
- Flexible Battery Compatibility — This motor is capable of running on either 6-7 cell NiMh or 2S LiPo batteries, giving you the flexibility to choose the battery type that best suits your driving needs, budget and vehicle setup.
- Eye-Catching ARRMA Branding — The distinctive ARRMA decal on the motor housing makes your motor instantly recognisable and adds professional looks to your RC vehicle's power system.
- Robust M3 Mounting — The motor features 2 x M3 mounting holes with 25mm pitch spacing, allowing secure and straightforward installation into ARRMA vehicles and other compatible RC chassis.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Mega 570 Brushed Motor is engineered with meticulous attention to detail, combining traditional brushed motor technology with modern performance enhancements. The 9T pole count delivers a superb power-to-weight ratio, making this motor suitable for a wide variety of ARRMA RC vehicles and driving disciplines. At 38.5mm in diameter and 65.0mm in length, the compact form factor ensures straightforward installation into tight motor compartments without requiring chassis modifications. The 1/18 inch (3.175mm) diameter output shaft measures 17mm in length, providing a secure connection point for pinion gears and ensuring reliable power transmission from motor to drivetrain. The inclusion of an internal fan significantly reduces running temperatures, which is particularly beneficial during prolonged driving sessions or in warmer weather conditions. This temperature management directly translates to more stable and consistent performance throughout your driving day. The flux ring augmentation increases the magnetic field strength around the motor's core, resulting in higher torque output that makes hill climbing easier and acceleration more responsive. The motor's 4mm male bullet connectors and 16awg gauge wire are industry standards in RC hobby, meaning you'll have no compatibility issues when installing this motor into ARRMA vehicles or adapting it to other compatible setups. Whether you're powering an RC monster truck, stadium truck, or other ARRMA platforms, this brushed motor delivers the kind of reliable, predictable power that builds confidence in both novice and experienced drivers across the UK RC scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What battery should I use with the ARRMA Mega 570 Brushed Motor? — This motor is compatible with either 6-7 cell NiMh battery packs or 2S LiPo batteries, giving you flexibility in your power source choice. NiMh batteries are generally more forgiving for beginners, whilst 2S LiPo offers higher power density and longer runtime in a more compact package. Always check your ARRMA vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility with your chosen battery type.
- Is the ARRMA Mega 570 suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The brushed motor design is inherently more beginner-friendly than brushless alternatives, offering smooth and predictable power delivery that's easier to control. The 9T configuration strikes an excellent balance between acceleration and top speed, making it forgiving for newer drivers whilst still delivering thrilling performance for experienced bashers. The straightforward installation with pre-fitted bullet connectors means minimal technical knowledge is required to get up and running.
- What makes this motor different from other brushed motors? — The ARRMA Mega 570 combines several premium features that distinguish it from basic brushed motors. The flux ring technology boosts torque delivery, the internal cooling fan maintains optimal running temperatures, and the high-quality construction ensures longevity and reliability. These features, combined with the proven 9T winding and compact 570 form factor, make this an exceptionally capable brushed motor for its price point.
- Can I use this motor with my existing ARRMA vehicle? — The ARRMA Mega 570 Brushed Motor is designed for ARRMA vehicles with brushed motor-compatible mounting points. Check your specific vehicle's documentation to confirm compatibility. The 2 x M3 mounting holes with 25mm pitch spacing and the standard 1/18 inch output shaft diameter are common across many ARRMA models, but verification is always recommended before purchasing.
- How does the internal fan improve performance? — The integrated cooling fan circulates air through the motor housing, dissipating heat generated during operation. Cooler motors maintain more consistent electromagnetic properties, resulting in stable power delivery throughout long driving sessions. This also extends the motor's lifespan by reducing thermal stress on internal components like the armature windings and brush assembly.
- What does the flux ring do? — The flux ring is a magnetic component that enhances the motor's magnetic field strength. This increased field strength directly translates to higher torque output, giving your vehicle more pulling power for acceleration, hill climbing, and crawling through difficult terrain. It's a performance enhancement that's particularly noticeable when driving at lower speeds or under load.
