With its 35 turn specification, this motor delivers the torque characteristics necessary for climbing, obstacle negotiation, and controlled crawling over challenging terrain. The motor's 2-speed transmission compatibility allows drivers to optimise performance across different scenarios—lower speeds for technical rock work and higher speeds for faster trail sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Kanyon 2-Speed 35T Motor suitable for my RC crawler? — This motor is specifically designed for FTX Kanyon 4x4 models (FTX5563 and FTX5563R). If you own either of these 1/10 scale crawlers, this is the authentic replacement motor. Check your vehicle model number to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- What makes a 35T motor different from other turn counts? — The 35 turn specification indicates the number of wire wraps around the motor armature. Lower turn counts (like 25T or 27T) provide more speed, whilst higher turn counts deliver more torque and lower speeds. The 35T offers a balanced middle ground perfect for crawler applications where you need controlled power rather than maximum velocity.
- Can I use this motor in other FTX models? — This motor is specifically engineered for the Kanyon 4x4 crawler range. Whilst other FTX vehicles may have similar motor sizes, compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Always verify that the motor mount and transmission system in your vehicle match the specifications before purchasing.
- How long does the FTX Kanyon 2-Speed 35T Motor last? — Brushed motor lifespan depends on usage intensity, terrain difficulty, and maintenance. Regular cleaning of the motor contacts and proper care will extend service life. This motor is a straightforward replacement part, so when wear does occur, replacement is quick and affordable compared to repairing complex electronic systems.
- What battery voltage does this motor require? — The motor specifications found in sources do not include explicit voltage ratings. We recommend checking your existing Kanyon vehicle documentation or contacting our team for battery compatibility advice, as different Kanyon variants may use different battery systems.
- Is this a brushed or brushless motor? — This is a brushed motor, which means it uses carbon brushes to deliver power to the rotating armature. Brushed motors are durable, reliable, and easy to maintain—ideal characteristics for RC crawlers where simplicity and dependability matter.
