Outlaw Motor

The Outlaw: the Scaleauto motor that doesn't do half measures

The Outlaw Motor SC-0030 is Scaleauto's offering for those who demand more than just top speed: a balance between power, torque, and controlled consumption. With 35,000 rpm, long can (L-can), 0.41 A current draw, and a torque of 400 g/cm, this motor is designed to perform in slot car setups where cornering behaviour and throttle response make the difference between winning and merely circulating.

Main features

• Speed: 35,000 rpm
• Format: L-can (long can)
• Consumption: 0.41 A
• Torque: 400 g/cm
• Manufacturer: Scaleauto
• Reference: SC-0030

Recommended applications

The L-can format determines both the necessary housing space and the mounting possibilities. It is compatible with pods and chassis designed for long can, common in custom preparation builds and in several of Scaleauto's own chassis. Before installing the Outlaw, check that your pod accommodates this format to avoid interference with the body or axle.

Thanks to its 400 g/cm of torque, the Outlaw responds strongly from low revs, making it particularly useful on technical layouts with many slow corners, where torque matters as much or more than maximum rpm. For fast tracks with long straights, pairing it with the appropriate pinion is key to maximising its 35,000 rpm.

Behaviour and performance

With a consumption of 0.41 A, the Outlaw sits in a moderate consumption range for its performance level. This makes it compatible with most club power supplies without requiring particularly robust electronics, although we always recommend checking that the power supply has sufficient margin if multiple lanes are to be used simultaneously.

The 400 g/cm of torque ensures consistent traction, especially in setups with larger diameter tyres or in cars with a bit more weight. The response is direct and progressive, facilitating control in the hands of experienced drivers and not overly penalising those who are refining their technique.

Usage recommendations

• Always perform an initial run-in at low voltage to settle the braids and collector before demanding full power.
• Check the alignment of the pinion with the crown gear after installation: poor meshing can penalise performance and shorten the motor's lifespan.
• Combine the Outlaw with a pinion suitable for the layout: short ratios for technical circuits, long for fast tracks.
• Keep the braids clean and in good condition to ensure optimal electrical transfer.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean that the Outlaw Motor is L-can?

L-can refers to the size of the motor can: it is a long can, longer than the standard. This affects the space required for housing in the chassis or pod, so compatibility should be verified before installation.

In what mounting position can the Outlaw be used?

The Outlaw can be mounted in an inline position (motor in line with the rear axle), sidewinder (motor parallel to the rear axle), or anglewinder (motor at an angle), depending on the design of the pod or chassis you use. The position will be determined by the mounting, not by the motor itself.

Is it suitable for club racing?

It will depend on the regulations of each championship. With 35,000 rpm and 400 g/cm of torque, the Outlaw is in a performance range typical of open or semi-open preparation categories. Check the championship rules before homologating it for competition.

What power supply is it compatible with?

With a consumption of 0.41 A, the Outlaw is compatible with most power supplies commonly used in the slot hobby. However, in installations with multiple simultaneous lanes, ensure that the power supply has sufficient amperage capacity for the setup.

What pinion is recommended for this motor?

There is no single recommended ratio: it depends on the diameter of the crown gear, the type of layout, and the weight of the car. As a starting point, adjust the gear ratio based on whether you prioritise acceleration (shorter ratio) or top speed (longer ratio).
