BRM Blue Motor 19000 rpm Short Can

BRM Blue Short Can Motor: 19,000 rpm direct response for your BRM cars

The BRM Blue 19000 rpm Short Can Motor (reference BRM-S417) is the replacement and upgrade part designed for BRM chassis that support short can motor configuration. With a nominal speed of 19,000 rpm, it offers a balanced power delivery, ideal for both club racing and those looking to optimise their car without pushing performance to difficult-to-control extremes.

Main features

• Nominal speed: 19,000 rpm, a versatile working range for different types of track.
• Short Can format: short casing that facilitates installation in chassis with limited space and contributes to more efficient weight distribution.
• Blue identification: the colour designation from BRM allows for quick distinction of motor characteristics within its range, facilitating selection based on performance requirements.
• BRM manufacturing: a brand specialised in precision components for slot racing, with extensive experience in the competitive hobby.

Recommended applications

This motor is designed to be mounted in BRM models and chassis compatible with the Short Can measurement. It is a common choice for:

• Replacement of the original motor when performance declines after many hours of running.
• Top-level competition configurations in club championships with motor restrictions.
• Enthusiasts who want to explore tuning their car without sacrificing drivability.

Behaviour and performance

The 19,000 rpm of the BRM Blue Motor places it in an intermediate position within the BRM range: enough power to notice a lively response in acceleration, but without the abrupt character of high-end motors. This makes it particularly suitable for technical circuits, with many curves, where throttle modulation makes a difference more than top speed on straights.

The Short Can format directly impacts the behaviour of the assembly: by reducing the length of the motor, it allows for more compact chassis geometries and a lower centre of gravity, improving stability in corners.

Usage recommendations

• Always check compatibility with your BRM chassis before installation: consult the model manual or the official BRM catalogue.
• Adjust the braid pressure after installation to ensure a clean contact with the track and avoid performance losses.
• Combine the motor with the appropriate crown gear and pinion for the gear ratio that best suits the track where you compete.
• Perform a progressive run-in of the new motor before demanding maximum performance: this will improve its durability and the settling of internal brushes.

Frequently asked questions

In which BRM cars can I install this motor?

The BRM Blue 19000 rpm Short Can Motor is designed for BRM chassis compatible with the Short Can format. We recommend checking the catalogue or the official BRM website to confirm compatibility with your specific model, as the BRM range includes different chassis platforms.

What is the difference between the Short Can and Long Can formats?

The main difference is the length of the motor casing. The Short Can format is more compact, allowing it to be installed in chassis with less longitudinal space and favouring a more centred mass distribution. The Long Can, being longer, is usually associated with higher torque, although this also depends on other design variables.

Is it suitable for competition in club championships?

It depends on the regulations of the specific championship. The 19,000 rpm makes it eligible in many club categories with motor restrictions. Always check the rules of your local championship before homologating the equipment.

Do I also need to change the crown gear and pinion when replacing the motor?

It is not mandatory, but it is advisable to check the condition of both elements. If the crown gear or pinion show wear, it is the ideal time to renew them along with the motor to ensure a drivetrain in perfect condition.

How often should I replace the motor in a competition car?

It depends on the intensity of use. In a club context with regular running, many drivers check the condition of the motor each season or when they notice a noticeable drop in performance. A motor in good condition responds linearly and without abnormal vibrations.

The BRM Blue 19000 rpm Short Can motor (BRM-S417) is a compact and reliable replacement motor designed for BRM slot car chassis.
