Description

The combo of XeRun AXE 5IVE R3 ESC and XeRun AXE 4987 SD R3S motor (1600 KV) forms a FOC-sensored brushless power system for 1/5 and 1/6 rock crawlers. ESC and motor are matched to each other: high torque is available from very low speeds, and power delivery is smooth and precise.

The ESC operates on 3–8S LiPo and delivers 220 A continuous and 900 A peak current. The intelligent torque control increases output on climbs and reduces it on descents, the drag brake is adjustable up to 200%. The built-in BEC outputs 6–14 V in 0.1 V increments at 15 A continuous current (max. 35 A).

The AXE 4987 SD R3S is rated at 1600 KV with 4 poles; its CNC aluminium housing measures 49.5 mm in diameter and 87 mm in length, and it weighs 660 g. The built-in magnetic encoder delivers precise rotor position signals; the motor is protected to IP66 and the ESC to IP67.

Settings, real-time data (throttle, voltage, current, temperature and motor speed) and firmware updates run via the ESC's built-in Bluetooth and the HW Link app; telemetry and tuning are also supported by FlySky NB4 transmitters. Two AUX signal wires allow settings such as drag brake force to be changed from the transmitter, and the fan switches on only when a preset temperature is reached.

Notes

  • Note on receivers: most receivers are rated for max. 9 V — check receiver compatibility before setting the BEC output above 8.4 V.
  • Connect the sensor connectors of ESC and motor following the arrow marks and tighten them.
  • Disconnect the battery after use — even when switched off the system draws a small quiescent current and can discharge the battery deeply.
  • IP67 (ESC) and IP66 (motor) protect against splashes, short-term water contact and dust under normal conditions; avoid prolonged submersion.
  • Perform the throttle calibration on first use and whenever a new receiver is installed.
  • Remove the pinion gear or run the wheels off the ground when calibrating and programming.
  • Bluetooth range approx. 5 m.
  • Telemetry and tuning with FlySky NB4 transmitters require a firmware update of the transmitter.
