Hobbywing XeRun 2848SD Sensored Brushless Motor

Don't let the compact size fool you. The XeRun 2848SD packs serious performance into a 28.5×48mm frame — 15% more power output than motors of equal size, IP5X dustproof, and cogging so low it's about 1/4 of popular competing brands. Built for 1/14 and 1/12 scale heavy-duty trucks and on/off-road applications where smooth low-speed control and durability matter.

Key Features

• 15% More Power Output – Compared to motors of equal size and specifications — more punch without upsizing your motor
• IP5X Dustproof – Sealed for dusty off-road track environments, keeping internals clean run after run
• 6% Higher Efficiency, Lower Running Temperature – 0.1 N·m load test results: max efficiency up 6%, internal temp ~20°C lower, external temp ~10°C lower vs comparable motors
• Ultra-Low Cogging – Approximately 1/4 the cogging of popular brands for smooth, linear throttle response at low speeds — ideal for crawling and technical driving
• Full Sensored Mode – Pairs with Hobbywing XeRun XR14 ESC for pure sensored operation and precise throttle control
• Adjustable Mechanical Timing – CW/CCW rotation; adjustable 20–40° for power tuning
• Modular Design – Easy to disassemble, clean, and maintain in the field
• Premium Materials – Iron core, high-precision grade bearings, 200°C heat-resistant wire, 180°C heat-resistant rotor, gold-plated U-shaped copper solder bars with widened gap for easier soldering

Which KV Should You Choose?

• 2800KV (2-3S) – Maximum torque for crawling, technical terrain, and heavy-duty hauling; smoothest low-speed control
• 4000KV (2-3S) – All-round choice for mixed on/off-road driving — good balance of torque and top speed
• 4600KV (2S) – Highest top speed for flat-out racing and speed runs on 1/14 on-road setups

Compatible Applications

• 1/14 scale heavy-duty RC truck – primary application
• 1/12 scale on-road and off-road RC vehicles
• Best matched with Hobbywing XeRun XR14 ESC

What's Included

• Hobbywing XeRun 2848SD brushless motor (per selected KV)
• Sensor cable
• Factory accessories

Important: Do not run the motor without load for extended periods. Stop use if motor shell temperature exceeds 100°C/212°F. Follow A-A, B-B, C-C wiring order when connecting to ESC. Never hit full throttle before installing the pinion.
