HPI Drift Meister mod motors
Latest from HPI
Drift fans, HPI Racing has a new line of motors designed just for drifting. The Drift Meister motors are available in 11T, 13T, 15T, 17T and 19T so you can choose the perfect amount of power for your drifting style. All of the Drift Meister motors have dual ball bearings for high efficiency and long life. The endbell features adjustable timing to help fine tune the power and performance, aluminum heat sinks to keep everything running cool, bullet connectors for easy installation, and color-coded silicone wires. The rebuildable design allows you to take the motor apart for a thorough cleaning, to cut the commutator, or replace the brushes. The Drift Meister motors look great too with Stage D graphics on the label, a stealth grey can, and color-coded anodized aluminum fins on the endbell.
Put the power in your drifting with the new Drift Meister motors from HPI Racing!

Seems like a waste of wire and connectors.

They look nice, but how many people are running brushed motors these days? With a partner like Castle Creations, makers of the best brushless stuff in this industry, why would HPI spend any time at all on brushed motors? The market is still there, but it's shrinking, and they're not going to take sales from Trinity and Orion...so why bother?

They're probably just repackaged drift motors, so they are just buying and selling essentially. Gives their consumers more choice, and I can see how it could be profitable. Meh, but point taken.

What exactly makes these 'drift' motors. Why and how are they different to regular motors?

Part of what makes these drift motors is the look. That's important to a lot of people. I'm a hater of the bling, but I have to admit I want everything to look the part in each of my cars, drift machine included. I'm glad for the low turns because it makes it easier for me to get big drifts going on my somewhat grippy driveway.
