Ethix - Mr Steele Silk Motor V3 Legacy 2345kv - White
Since the Mr Steele V3 was released it was one of the most popular freestyle motors in the world.
Ethix Ltd. decided to offer the same tried and true formula at a fraction of the price. This third iteration of the Mr. Steele motor line features a thicker single strand copper winding for increased efficiency and resilience to high amp loads.
The V3 Legacy motors offer maximum performance and compatibility without breaking the bank. V3 legacy motors share completely reverse compatibility with Mr Steele V3 & V4 motors.
The same 2306 stator is in play but this time with a beefier and much smoother 9mm ball bearing (up 2mm from the previous 7mm). This allows for a thicker overall shaft adding substantial durability and more material to dissipate heat built up from consistent power-hungry abusive rippers.
This motor is also offered in a slightly higher KV for its 6S variant: 50KV up from the V2 1700KV Stout. The increase in KV adds just enough more power without dipping into the red zone of diminishing returns on efficiency. So, it's just as efficient but with more pop.
This new motor also features a completely redesigned motor bell design with a recessed 6 spoke design, allowing for a lower profile bell and more modern look. The lower profile design has less wind resistance and a lower center of mass, assisting throttle response. On a side note, the recessed spokes also aid massively in the overall durability of the bell itself. This is seriously one tough little motor.
All of these amazing new features and we were still able to keep the weight under 30g this motor comes in at 29g with the full length of wire and low profile plastic pants.
While the pants remain interchangeable with V1/V2, the V3 stator and bell is only compatible with other V3 models. You can swap SILK N48 magnet bells out for STOUT N52 magnet bells (added power and response). But since we went with a thicker shaft, these will NOT be compatible with previous generation Steele motor parts. This is a bummer, but to innovate sometimes you have to change.
