Key Features
- Plastic Endbells (2 pieces) — These precision-engineered plastic endbell components are critical structural parts of the Velineon 1200XL motor assembly, serving as the housing that contains the internal rotating components and maintains proper motor alignment. Replacing worn endbells restores concentricity and ensures smooth, vibration-free motor operation.
- Ball Bearings 6x17x6mm (2 pieces) — High-quality precision ball bearings are essential for smooth motor shaft rotation and reduced friction, directly impacting efficiency and top speed performance. These genuine Traxxas bearings are engineered to tight tolerances to maintain the motor's performance characteristics and extend service life between rebuilds.
- Washers 6x8x0.3mm (1 piece) — These precision spacer washers play a vital role in maintaining proper component spacing within the motor assembly, ensuring that internal parts are positioned correctly for optimal performance and preventing binding or misalignment that could compromise reliability.
- Washers 6x8x1mm (1 piece) — Thicker washers provide additional spacing control within the motor assembly, contributing to precise alignment of the rotor and stator for maximum efficiency and consistent power delivery across all performance scenarios.
- Spacer 7x6x12mm (1 piece) — This dimensional spacer component ensures correct spacing between motor internals, maintaining the precise engineering tolerances that Traxxas has built into the Velineon 1200XL system for reliable, consistent performance in your RC vehicles.
- Genuine Traxxas Components — Every part in this rebuild kit is manufactured to original Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance restoration without any modification or adaptation required.
- Complete Motor Restoration — Rather than purchasing a new motor, this comprehensive rebuild kit allows you to address the specific components that experience wear, making it a cost-effective maintenance solution for RC enthusiasts who want to keep their brushless RC vehicles running at peak performance.
Technical Performance
The Velineon 1200XL brushless motor system has established itself as a benchmark for power and reliability in RC racing and bashing applications across the United Kingdom and internationally. This rebuild kit specifically targets the internal components that experience wear through normal operation, including the rotating bearings and housing endbells that are critical to maintaining motor efficiency and performance. The precision-engineered ball bearings in this kit ensure minimal rotational resistance, allowing the Velineon 1200XL to deliver maximum power output from your LiPo battery system whilst maintaining smooth, vibration-free operation. The plastic endbells are injection-moulded to exacting tolerances that match the original motor specifications, ensuring that when you rebuild your motor with these components, you achieve the same performance characteristics as the original assembly. The various washers and spacers included in this kit are precision-engineered to maintain the critical spacing tolerances within the motor, preventing any drift or misalignment that could compromise performance or reduce the motor's operational lifespan. For RC enthusiasts who demand reliability from their brushless RC cars and trucks, this rebuild kit represents the proper maintenance approach, allowing you to extend the life of your Velineon 1200XL motor through planned component replacement rather than catastrophic failure leading to full motor replacement.
