Hobbywing Xerun D10 Drift Brushless Motor (10.5T) (Black)
About this part
Hobbywing Xerun D10 Drift 10.5T Brushless Motor.
Features:
- Designed for Drift: The Xerun D10 motors provide the ideal colors to perfectly match your drift machines. Available in Black, Red, and Purple.
- Banana Plug Quick-Swap Design: The motor comes factory soldered with high quality 3.5mm banana plug for easy access swap to different motors. 3.5mm male head is also included in the XD10 ESC.
- Stator Designed for Drift: The motor stator is optimized for drift and improves motor efficiency in drift applications. Built-in with high-precision sensors board, combined with drift-specific fan rotors, providing excellent motor linearity and drivability while greatly improves motor efficiency.
- Lightweight: The 10.5T motor weighs approximately 158g while the 13.5T is at 165g (including 3 gold insert weights). The lightweight motor allows user to easily tweak their weight bias on their car.
- Fan Rotor: Providing great heat dissipation, power the special-shaped gold fan on the rotor heats the motor while making a pleasant sound, especially when Turbo is turned on.
- Best paired with XD10 PRO ESC
KV: 4600kv
Weight: 157
NOTE:
- To avoid short circuits, ensure that all wires and joints must be well insulated before connecting the motor to related devices.
- The M3 screws with a length (no longer than 7mm) are needed when mounting the motor onto your vehicle.
- Please pay attention to the relevant marks (on the ESC) when soldering/connecting those output wires to the motor and make sure that you will strictly follow the wiring order (between the ESC & themotor) of “A-A, B-B, and C-C”.
- Please ensure the sensor cable is clean and undamaged when you’re using a sensor ESC. You need to pay attention to the two connectors on the cable when connecting the ESC to the motor.
- Re-check all the connections between the ESC & the motor and ensure that they are all correct before turning on the ESC.
- The D10 motors provide a wide range of adjustable mechanical timings, the following are the methods & principles you can follow when adjusting the timing.
- You can adjust the motor timing after unfastening the screw on the rear end-plate. Please adjust the timing as needed according to the mark (white lines) at the rear end of the motor and fasten the screw after the adjustment. For obtaining optimal performance, you can change the output range and characteristics of your power system by adjusting the motor timing.
- Increasing the timing can increase the motor speed (RPM), while that also increases the motor temperature and reduces the efficiency. A high(er) timing usually requires a high(er) ratio.
- Please ensure your ESC is properly programmed before setting the motor timing. For detailed information about ESC programming, please refer to the user manual of the ESC.
- After the timing adjustment, please ensure that your motor will not get overheat after running a whole pack (i.e. LiPo). You can get the information about the motor temperature via a infra-red temperature gun. If the temperature is too high, please let the motor cool down first and then test again. If the temperature is still too high, then please reduce the timing or increase the FDR (that is to replace the pinion gear with fewer teeth or spur gear with more teeth).

Great motor. I highly recommend getting the L4 rotor. The stronger magnet really opens up that motor.
Very smooth motor. Build quality is nice and the small weight reduction over other motors is a great bonus. My only gripe is specific to my use case. This motor includes the "L1" rotor by default which is extremely biased towards high RPM and low torque. The motor has the lowest spinning resistance (compression) of any 2 pole motor I've ever felt. While this can be great for control in higher grip situations it is not well suited to low grip asphalt or concrete surfaces due to the slow "spool up" and response of the motor. Fortunately, hobbywing carries optional rotors ranging from L1 to L4. I installed the optional L2 rotor and this motor is perfect. I'm still getting a bit over 3800KV with the timing @ 30 degrees and now the response and torque is exactly what I need for my drift surface. Running this motor @ 30 degrees can timing, XR10 G2s, 12 degrees of boost (auto activation), 8 degrees of turbo (instant activation).
Perfect motor for rc drifting. Used it on a Yokomo YD2s.
All three reviewers rate the Hobbywing Xerun D10 10.5T motor 5 out of 5. Reviewers praise its smoothness, build quality, and low weight, and one describes it as well suited to drifting on a Yokomo YD2s. Two reviewers highlight the optional L4 and L2 rotors as significant upgrades. One reviewer found the default L1 rotor biased toward high RPM and low torque, with slow spool-up on low-grip surfaces, and says swapping to the optional L2 rotor resolved this. The reviews are few and come from a small sample, and the comments on the L1 rotor concern a single reviewer's use case.
- + Smooth operation
- + Good build quality
- + Light weight
- + Well suited to drifting
- − Default L1 rotor slow to spool up on low-grip surfaces
- − Default L1 rotor biased toward high RPM and low torque
- − Optional rotor needed for a different power delivery
