Key Features

• Explosive output power with 10% increased maximum power — Compared to the same specification motors, this G2 generation delivers a 10% increase in maximum output power, giving you significantly more acceleration and responsiveness when you need it most, whether you're sprinting on road courses or accelerating across off-road terrain.
• Excellent performance with 8% higher motor efficiency — The rear section of the motor features 8% higher efficiency than competing motors of identical specifications, meaning more of the energy from your battery is converted into motion rather than wasted as heat, extending your runtime and reducing power consumption.
• Lower operating temperature under the same load — The improved efficiency translates directly to cooler motor operation, which extends the lifespan of internal components, maintains consistent performance throughout your driving sessions, and reduces the risk of thermal shutdown during intense use.
• Explosion-proof rotor design with reinforced aluminium end plates — The rotor is engineered with front and rear aluminium end plates that greatly improve the overall balance and structural integrity of the motor, ensuring smooth operation at high RPM and protecting internal components from damage during demanding driving sessions.
• High-strength tensile wound materials for durability — The rotor is wound with high-strength tensile materials that provide exceptional explosion-proof ability, meaning the rotor can withstand the extreme stresses and vibrations experienced during high-speed driving without failing or deforming.
• Solid construction with premium materials — Built from high-hardness aluminium with a CNC-machined end cover and 0.2mm ultra-thin low-loss silicon steel sheet, the QUICRUN 3652SL G2 represents a commitment to build quality that guarantees long-term excellent performance and reliability you can depend on.
• First-line brand high-precision bearings — The motor is fitted with high-quality, high-precision ball bearings (front bearing D13×D5×T4 and rear bearing D13×D5×T4) that minimise friction, reduce noise, and ensure smooth, efficient operation even after extended use.
• 200°C high-temperature-resistant enameled wire — The motor windings are constructed from premium enameled wire rated for 200°C continuous operation, providing exceptional thermal stability and ensuring consistent performance even under extreme load conditions or ambient temperature variations.
• Modular detachable design for easy maintenance — The brushless RC motor adopts a modular detachable structure that allows you to easily disassemble the motor for routine cleaning, maintenance, and repairs without special tools or complicated procedures, effectively prolonging service life and maintaining peak working efficiency.
• 4.0mm gold-plated output connectors — High-quality gold-plated connectors ensure reliable electrical contact, minimise resistance losses, and provide secure connections to your electronic speed controller, eliminating connection issues that could affect performance.
• Perfectly sized for 1/10th scale RC vehicles — With an outer diameter of 36mm and length of 52mm, this motor fits standard 1/10th scale RC car, buggy, and light-load truck mounting locations, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement motor for your existing setup.
• 2-3S LiPo compatibility — Optimised for 2-3S lithium polymer batteries, this sensorless brushless motor delivers maximum efficiency and performance across the full voltage range of these popular battery types, with a no-load current draw of just 4.0A.

Technical Performance

The Hobbywing QUICRUN 3652SL 3250KV G2 motor represents the pinnacle of sensorless brushless motor design for 1/10th scale RC applications. With a KV rating of 3250, this motor spins approximately 3250 revolutions per minute per volt of applied voltage, delivering the perfect RPM range for 2-3S LiPo batteries used in on-road racing, off-road buggy applications, and light-load truck configurations. The motor's 4-pole design provides a balance between torque and top speed, whilst the 3.175mm shaft diameter (equivalent to 1/8-inch) ensures compatibility with standard motor mounts and pinion gears across virtually all 1/10th scale RC platforms. Measuring just 36mm in outer diameter and 52mm in length, the motor is compact enough for tight engine bays whilst delivering powerful, reliable performance. The no-load current of 4.0A indicates exceptional efficiency, meaning minimal wasted energy and maximum battery runtime. The entire motor assembly weighs just 224 grams, keeping your RC car's centre of gravity lower and improving handling characteristics. Whether you're building a competitive racing machine or a weekend basher, the QUICRUN 3652SL G2 provides the engineering excellence, thermal efficiency, and durability required for demanding RC applications across the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Hobbywing QUICRUN 3652SL G2 motor suitable for beginners? — Yes, this motor is suitable for beginners who have some basic experience with RC vehicles. Whilst the motor itself is straightforward to install, you'll need to have an understanding of motor mounting, ESC compatibility, and basic electrical connections. If you're completely new to RC, we recommend starting with a ready to run RTR kit first, then upgrading to this motor as you gain experience.
• What battery does this motor need? — The Hobbywing QUICRUN 3652SL 3250KV G2 is optimised for 2-3S lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries. A 2S LiPo will give you approximately 6500 KV×2S = 13,000 RPM maximum, whilst a 3S LiPo will deliver approximately 9,750 RPM. Most RC enthusiasts prefer 3S LiPo for this motor as it provides the best balance of speed and runtime.
• What makes this G2 version better than the original QUICRUN 3652SL? — The G2 generation offers significant improvements including 10% more maximum output power, 8% higher motor efficiency (especially in the rear section), and lower operating temperatures under the same load conditions. These upgrades mean faster acceleration, longer runtimes on the same battery, cooler operation, and greater overall reliability during intense driving sessions.
• What ESC (electronic speed controller) do I need? — You'll need a sensorless brushless ESC rated for at least the current draw of this motor with your chosen battery. For a 3S system with this motor, we recommend a quality ESC rated for 60A or higher. Make sure the ESC is compatible with sensorless motors and supports 2-3S LiPo battery operation.
• How does the KV rating affect performance? — The 3250KV rating means this motor will spin 3250 revolutions per minute for every volt of battery voltage applied. On a 3S LiPo (11.1V), this motor can theoretically reach approximately 36,075 RPM under no load. In practical use with a vehicle, you'll achieve lower RPM due to load and gearing, but the high KV rating ensures sufficient torque and responsiveness across the 2-3S voltage range.
• Is the motor waterproof? — The QUICRUN 3652SL G2 is not fully waterproof. Whilst the motor's solid construction and quality bearings provide good durability in damp conditions, we recommend avoiding submersion in water or prolonged exposure to wet environments. If you're driving in wet conditions, allow the motor to dry completely before the next use and inspect bearings for signs of moisture.
• What is the difference between sensorless and sensored motors? — Sensorless brushless motors like the QUICRUN 3652SL G2 do not have internal sensors to detect rotor position, making them simpler, more affordable, and more durable. Sensored motors provide smoother acceleration from a standstill but are more complex and expensive. For most RC applications, sensorless motors provide excellent performance.
• How do I maintain the modular detachable design? — The motor's modular construction allows you to carefully disassemble the motor for cleaning. Simply remove the end plates (front and rear) to access the rotor and stator. Clean away any dirt, debris, or grass using a soft brush or compressed air. Never submerge the motor in water. Reassemble carefully, ensuring the rotor spins freely without rubbing.
• What is the output connector type? — The motor features 4.0mm gold-plated male output connectors, which are standard connectors used across most quality RC vehicle electronics. Ensure your ESC has compatible 4.0mm female connectors or adapt accordingly with appropriate connectors.
• Can this motor be used for off-road driving? — Yes, the QUICRUN 3652SL 3250KV G2 is recommended for 1/10th scale on-road cars, buggies, and trucks with light loads. Its compact size, high efficiency, and reliable performance make it suitable for both on-road racing and recreational off-road bashing, particularly for lighter vehicles without extreme suspension loads.
