I’m sure the motors are great but unfortunately they will not work with a classic losi jrx series car. The motor has a shoulder around the shaft that will not fit through the motor plate. So I am going to hope that this will work for a different car some day in the future. I was very bummed as this was exactly what I needed and it didn’t fit.

I have had fantastic luck with motor. I never push over 2s because let's be honest. Its a sealed can brushed at a awesome price point.

What reviewers say

Reviewers are generally positive about the Holmes Hobbies Retro Sport 540 Brushed Motor (19T). Two reviewers rate it 5/5, describing it as surprisingly fast, a good fit for a Hornet, and reliable at 2S, with one noting the sealed-can brushed design at a good price. One verified owner rated it 2/5 because the motor shaft shoulder would not fit through the motor plate of a classic Losi JRX-series car, so it could not be used for that purpose. Reviews are few, so the overall picture is limited.

  • + Surprisingly fast
  • + Reliable at 2S
  • + Sealed can design
  • + Good price point
  • − Shaft shoulder does not fit Losi JRX motor plate
  • − Fit issue for classic Losi JRX
