The Velociti Light series is very similar to the original Velociti series but is considered “light” because the wire used to wind the motor is a smaller gauge. Though this may seem like a small change, the ramifications are exciting. The smaller gauge allows for the same top speed, but with slower acceleration and softer braking power. It also makes the motors lighter**--17 grams lighter than the Velociti Series to be exact. Because of these motor characteristics, the Velociti Light brushless motors excel in slippery and tight track conditions, and are ideal for off-road and specific on-road applications.
