M3 Motor

A motor designed for the Mitoos Panda Raid and for those who truly enjoy driving

The M3 Motor (reference CXM203) is a short-can motor specifically designed to fit into the Mitoos Panda Raid chassis. Its compact dimensions (15.5 × 20.5 × 25 mm) allow it to be integrated without compromising the interior space of the chassis, maintaining a balanced weight distribution and a clean installation.

Main features

• Format: short can (15.5 × 20.5 × 25 mm)
• Motor shaft: 2 mm knurled
• Main shaft length: 10 mm
• RPM at 12V: 22,000
• RPM at 15V: 26,000
• Current draw: 220 mA
• Weight: 160 g/cm
• Magnetic effect: none

Behaviour and performance

The 22,000 RPM at 12V places the M3 Motor in a moderate-high RPM range, suitable for club tracks with mixed corners where control is as important as top speed. At 15V, it reaches 26,000 RPM, which expands the tuning range according to competition regulations or driver preferences.

The most relevant aspect for many enthusiasts is the complete absence of magnetic effect. This means that the car behaves solely based on its geometry, weight, and the driver's skill. Without the safety net of a magnet, cornering grip depends on the tyre and chassis balance, making each session a genuine and highly satisfying technical exercise.

The 2 mm knurled shaft ensures a firm coupling of the pinion, preventing slippage under load and facilitating disassembly without damaging the parts.

Recommended applications

This motor is designed for the Mitoos Panda Raid chassis, making it the natural choice if you are looking to replace or substitute the original motorisation of that model. Its short can format and specific dimensions make it difficult to interchange with other platforms without first checking the housing measurements.

Usage recommendations

As this is a motor without magnetic effect, it is advisable to check the condition of the tyres and ensure that the guide is well adjusted before each session. Worn tyres or a loose guide are much more noticeable than in configurations with a magnet. Similarly, checking that the pinion is securely fixed onto the knurled shaft is a quick step that can save us interruptions on track.

Frequently asked questions

Is this motor exclusive to the Mitoos Panda Raid chassis?

According to the manufacturer's information, the M3 Motor CXM203 is designed for the Mitoos Panda Raid chassis. Before installing it in another chassis, it is advisable to verify that the housing dimensions and shaft diameter are compatible.

What is the difference between using it at 12V and 15V?

At 12V, the motor runs at 22,000 RPM, a balanced speed for most club tracks. At 15V, it increases to 26,000 RPM, which can translate to higher top speed, although it also requires greater attention to chassis setup to maintain stability.

Why does it have no magnetic effect and what does this imply on track?

The absence of magnetic effect means that the car does not generate additional adhesion force through attraction to the metal track. Grip depends solely on the tyres and the weight of the chassis. The result is a more technical driving experience, with greater emphasis on the driver's management of corners.

Is the knurled shaft compatible with standard 2 mm pinions?

The shaft is 2 mm in diameter with knurling, which is the usual standard in slot racing. Most 2 mm pinions on the market are compatible, although we always recommend checking the pinion specifications before purchase.

How often should this motor be checked or replaced?

It depends on usage and track conditions. As a general rule, it is advisable to inspect the braids periodically, clean the commutator if performance drops, and check for any play in the shaft. A review every few intense sessions is sufficient to keep it in good condition.

The Mitoos M3 short-can motor (CXM203) delivers 22,000 RPM at 12V and 26,000 RPM at 15V, with a 2 mm knurled shaft and zero magnetic downforce. Designed specifically for the Mitoos Panda Raid chassis, it suits club-level slot car racing and technical non-magnet driving. Compact dimensions (15.5 × 20.5 × 25 mm) and a 10 mm main shaft length ensure a precise fit and reliable performance on any layout.
