Mtroniks 5000kv 370 Size Brushless Motor Clearance Bargain Better Than Half Price!

Compact and reliable 5000KV sensorless brushless motor in a 22×36mm (370/2236) size. Ideal for 1/18–1/16 scale RC cars, offering a great balance of speed, torque, and efficiency. Best suited for 2S LiPo, with smooth power delivery and cooler running compared to higher KV options. Features a 2.0mm shaft and standard 370 mounting. Mtroniks 5000KV Brushless Motor (2236 / 370) Physical Diameter: 22 mm Length (can): 36 mm Motor size class: 370 / 2236 Shaft diameter: 2.0 mm (this is consistent with all Mtroniks 370 motors) Shaft length (exposed): ~10 mm Mounting: Standard 370 pattern, M2 screws Weight: ~45–55 g Electrical KV: 5000 KV Type: Sensorless brushless Poles: 4-pole Wires: 3-wire, pre-tinned bullets 3.5mm Voltage & Power Recommended voltage: 2S LiPo (7.4 V) ✅ ideal 3S LiPo (11.1 V) ⚠️ possible but only with light load & good cooling No-load RPM: 2S: ~37,000 rpm 3S: ~55,000 rpm Typical continuous current: ~12–15 A Burst current: ~20 A (short duration) Estimated power: ~120–180 W (depending on voltage and load) Intended Use 1/18 – 1/16 scale RC cars Micro buggies / stadium trucks Light-duty small boats Paired originally with Mtroniks Micro / G2 ESCs (15–20A range) Important notes On 3S, these motors run very hot if over-geared — most failures I’ve seen were thermal. Gear conservatively: small pinion, high spur. Make sure your ESC has soft start enabled if available. Shaft is 2 mm, not 3.17 mm (common gotcha).
