Key Features
- 2000KV Rating — The 2000KV specification determines the motor's RPM per volt of input, meaning this motor will spin at 2000 revolutions per minute for every volt supplied. This KV rating provides an optimal sweet spot for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, delivering quick acceleration without sacrificing torque or straining your ESC and battery unnecessarily.
- 4074 Motor Size — The 4074 designation refers to the motor's physical dimensions, indicating a stator diameter of 40mm and a height of 74mm. This size has become the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC cars and trucks because it offers excellent power-to-weight ratio and fitting compatibility with most modern chassis designs available to UK RC enthusiasts.
- Brushless Design — Unlike older brushed motors, this brushless motor uses electronic commutation via an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) to deliver power more efficiently. Brushless motors run cooler, last significantly longer due to the absence of wearing brushes and commutator, require virtually no maintenance, and provide superior performance characteristics compared to their brushed counterparts.
- FMS Engineering Quality — FMS manufactures this motor to strict tolerances ensuring balanced rotation, consistent power delivery, and reliable performance across all operating conditions. The motor is built with precision engineering principles that have made FMS a trusted name in the RC hobby worldwide, delivering components that RC competitors and serious hobbyists depend upon.
- 90-Day Warranty — Every FMS FMT10 4074 motor comes with a comprehensive 90-day warranty from the date of delivery, covering defects and manufacturing issues. Additionally, you have access to long-term official technician support from FMS, ensuring you can get expert help whenever you need it during the life of your motor.
- 30-Day Return Policy — If you receive the motor and it doesn't meet your expectations, FMS offers a straightforward 30-day return policy for new and unused products, applicable to defective units, DOA (Dead On Arrival) motors, or those damaged in shipping. This commitment to customer satisfaction demonstrates FMS's confidence in their product quality.
Technical Performance
The FMS FMT10 4074 Brushless Motor represents the pinnacle of brushless motor engineering for 1/10 scale RC applications. With its 2000KV rating, this motor is specifically calibrated to work optimally with standard 3S LiPo batteries (11.1V nominal), which are the most common power source for RC cars in the UK hobby scene. The 4074 form factor, measuring 40mm in stator diameter and 74mm in length, has been refined through extensive FMS testing to deliver the ideal balance of power output, weight efficiency, and thermal management. The brushless design ensures that power is delivered electronically without the friction and wear associated with brush-based motors, resulting in cooler running temperatures, extended operational life, and superior acceleration characteristics. This motor integrates seamlessly with most modern ESC units rated for 1/10 scale RC cars, and the brushless construction means you'll enjoy maintenance-free operation with no brush replacement or commutator cleaning required. The engineering excellence evident in this motor makes it the preferred choice for competitive RC racing, high-performance bashing, and any application where reliable, consistent power delivery is essential. Built to FMS's exacting manufacturing standards, the FMT10 4074 delivers dependable performance season after season, making it an investment in your RC hobby that will pay dividends through countless hours of thrilling operation.
