Overview

The Traxxas Rebuild kit for 2200kV brushless motors is an essential maintenance and repair component for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand professional-grade performance from their brushless RC cars and trucks. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated hobbyist, this comprehensive rebuild kit ensures your brushless motor continues to perform at its peak, delivering the reliability and speed that Traxxas is renowned for. Designed with precision engineering, this rebuild kit contains all the critical wear components and fasteners needed to restore your motor to factory specifications, making it an indispensable addition to any serious RC model shop's toolkit.

Brushless motors have become the gold standard in the RC hobby due to their superior efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and exceptional longevity compared to older brushed alternatives. However, even the most robust brushless systems require periodic rebuilding to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your investment. This Traxxas rebuild kit addresses that need with Traxxas's signature attention to detail, providing genuine OEM components that guarantee compatibility with your existing motor assembly. For anyone operating a brushless RC vehicle in the UK market, whether it's a high-performance stadium truck, aggressive monster truck, or precision buggy, having a quality rebuild kit on hand ensures you're never sidelined by worn bearings or damaged fasteners.

The 2200kV specification indicates this kit is designed for motors with a 2200 kilovolt rating, a popular configuration that delivers an excellent balance between acceleration, top speed, and efficiency across a wide range of 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Understanding motor specifications is crucial for RC enthusiasts, and this kit's compatibility with 2200kV Traxxas brushless motors makes it an ideal choice for owners looking to maintain their investment in top-tier RC technology without the expense of purchasing an entirely new motor assembly.

Key Features

• Genuine Traxxas OEM Components — This rebuild kit contains authentic manufacturer parts that ensure perfect compatibility and performance, eliminating any uncertainty about fit and function that might arise from aftermarket substitutes.
• Plastic Endbell Included — The plastic endbell component is essential for housing the motor's internal mechanism and protecting the delicate winding structure, and its inclusion in this kit saves you from purchasing it separately.
• Premium Ball Bearings — Two 5x16x5mm ball bearings are included, which are critical for smooth rotor rotation and minimal friction; these precision-engineered bearings significantly impact motor efficiency and lifespan.
• Complete Washer Assortment — Three different washers are provided (5.05x7.5x.05mm, 5.05x7.5x0.1mm, and 5.05x7.5x.19mm), allowing you to achieve precise spacing and alignment within your motor assembly for optimal performance.
• Precision Spacer Component — The included 6x5x15mm spacer ensures correct rotor positioning and maintains proper clearances within the motor housing, which is vital for preventing binding and maximising efficiency.
• Professional-Grade Quality — Every component in this Traxxas rebuild kit meets the manufacturer's exacting standards, ensuring that your brushless motor performs as if it were freshly manufactured.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance Solution — Rather than replacing an entire motor assembly when wear occurs, this rebuild kit allows you to restore your existing motor to factory condition at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas 2200kV brushless motor rebuild kit represents decades of engineering expertise from one of the RC industry's most trusted manufacturers. The 2200kV rating identifies this as a mid-range motor configuration that delivers excellent performance across diverse RC applications, from high-speed racing to aggressive bashing. Brushless motor technology eliminates the wear associated with traditional brush-commutated designs, but precision components like ball bearings and washers are still subject to normal wear over extended use. The inclusion of two 5x16x5mm ball bearings in this kit addresses one of the most common wear points in brushless motors; these precision-engineered bearings must be replaced periodically to maintain smooth rotor rotation and preserve the motor's efficiency and lifespan. The three different washer specifications (0.05mm, 0.1mm, and 0.19mm thicknesses) provide the flexibility needed to achieve exact rotor spacing, which is absolutely critical for preventing internal binding and ensuring maximum magnetic efficiency. The 6x5x15mm spacer component maintains proper rotor positioning within the motor can, directly affecting acceleration characteristics and peak speed delivery. Traxxas engineers these components to micron-level tolerances, and the plastic endbell that completes this kit provides both protection and heat dissipation pathways that keep your motor running cool during extended driving sessions. For UK-based RC enthusiasts operating brushless RC cars and trucks in competitive or recreational settings, this rebuild kit offers the quality assurance and performance consistency that professional-grade RC hobby equipment demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this rebuild kit suitable for beginners? — Yes, whilst this is a maintenance component rather than a complete motor, the rebuild process is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills and a small screwdriver. Traxxas provides clear instructions with their rebuild kits, and many local RC hobby shops across the UK offer rebuild services if you prefer professional assembly.
• What is the 2200kV specification, and what does it mean for my RC car? — KV (kilovolt) rating indicates how many revolutions per minute a brushless motor will turn for each volt of battery power applied. A 2200kV motor is a mid-range specification ideal for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, offering a balance between acceleration and top speed; higher KV ratings provide more speed but less torque, whilst lower KV ratings provide more pulling power but lower maximum speed.
• How often should I rebuild my brushless motor? — This depends heavily on usage; competitive racers might rebuild every 10-15 hours of running time, whilst casual weekend bashers might only need a rebuild every 30-50 hours. If you notice any grinding sounds, loss of efficiency, or increased drag during rotation, that's a good indicator that a rebuild is due.
• What battery type and voltage is compatible with a 2200kV motor? — A 2200kV brushless motor is typically designed for 3S or 4S LiPo batteries (11.1V or 14.8V respectively), depending on the specific Traxxas model you're running; always consult your vehicle's manual to confirm the correct battery specification for your motor.
• Can I use this kit on any Traxxas motor? — This rebuild kit is specifically designed for Traxxas 2200kV brushless motors. Whilst many Traxxas motors share common components, always verify the motor's KV rating before purchasing to ensure perfect compatibility.
• What tools do I need to rebuild my motor? — You'll need basic tools including small screwdrivers, tweezers for precise component placement, and potentially a small workbench with good lighting. A motor puller tool (often available at UK RC hobby retailers) makes disassembly significantly easier and prevents damage to the motor can.
• Why should I choose a genuine Traxxas rebuild kit over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM components ensure perfect dimensional accuracy and material specifications; using aftermarket parts can sometimes result in fit issues, reduced performance, or even component failure that could damage your entire motor assembly.
