SDR-010 Drift Motor Upgrade Yokomo RPM-DX135RR DX1R Type-R 13.5T  [RPM-DX135RR]

High-Rev DX1R Type-R 13.5T for Drift Tuning

The Yokomo RPM-DX135RR is a 13.5T DX1R Type-R brushless motor engineered to provide a high-revving, controllable feel for drift setups on asphalt and carpet. It preserves the Type-R case form while featuring a colour-anodized finish on the can and back plate to help match common chassis colour schemes. The motor focuses on smooth power delivery and a neutral braking characteristic to ease entry and transition corrections.

Design-wise the unit keeps the DX1R layout and uses a rotor sized D12.0xd7.25. Stator and coil selections have been adjusted to promote even rotation across the rev range, giving a responsive yet manageable feel. The RPM-DX135RR suits drivers wanting a lively top-end while retaining predictable low-speed braking behaviour for precise drift lines.

Tuning pointers: secure the RPM-DX135RR in compatible chassis mounts and set pinion mesh before testing. Start with mild ESC timing and gentle throttle curves for a 13.5T profile, then experiment with small timing or gearing changes to dial in mid-range response. The anodized can improves visual cohesion but does not alter mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Compatible chassis

• SDR-010
• SDR-010LTS

For tuners focused on achieving high-rev response with controllable braking, the RPM-DX135RR is a practical upgrade that blends performance with visual coordination for asphalt and carpet drift rigs.
