New kids on the block.

Unlike the outdated topologies and windings once used in the GDR, here at Clugh we embrace the latest winding technology. XNOVA’s newest releases feature full-pitch windings, and while their reported use of 0.15mm laminations is impressive for those behind the design curve in the hobby industry, Egodrift leads the way as the first to introduce 0.1mm laminations in their Eclipse series. Experience the most advanced winding technologies in today’s high-end hobby machines at Clugh.

NEW! 40XX Lightning xnova rc helicopter motors | XNOVA MOTORS

The XNOVA 8 pole full pitch wound Lightning series brings these advantages over the antiquated 10 pole windings thermally insulated with UHU construction epoxy you see burning up constantly in Thungaria! Here are those results!

Full-pitch motor winding provides stronger EMF, higher torque, and improved efficiency compared to fractional-pitch designs. It is often chosen for high-performance applications where maximum voltage and smooth operation are critical.

⚡ Key Benefits of Full-Pitch Motor Winding

• Maximum Electromotive Force (EMF):   Since the co

  il sides are placed exactly 180 electrical degrees apart, they align with opposite magnetic poles. This produces the strongest possible induced voltage in the winding.

• Improved Torque Output:   The stronger EMF translates into higher torque generation, making full-pitch winding ideal for motors that need robust mechanical performance.

• Higher Energy Efficiency:   By capturing the maximum flux linkage, full-pitch windings reduce electrical losses and improve overall efficiency.

• Smooth Operation:   The balanced coil placement minimizes harmonic distortion, resulting in smoother motor performance and reduced vibration.

• Better Voltage Utilization:   Full-pitch windings deliver maximum voltage per coil turn, which is especially beneficial in applications requiring consistent and reliable power.

• Applications in High-Performance Systems:   Commonly used in electric vehicles, aerospace equipment, and industrial motors, where reliability and efficiency are paramount.

• Full-pitch winding is chosen when maximum voltage, torque, and smooth performance are critical.

• Fractional-pitch winding is preferred when cost, reduced copper losses, or compact design matter more.

👉 Think of it this way: full-pitch is about power and performance, fractional-pitch is about economy and practicality.

EGODRIFT Tengu & Scale Collection Eclipse Series motor options | egodrift.com

The Egodrift Eclipse series utilizes .1mm laminations. Factory pilots at egodrift report almost a 40% decrease in load amperages with the superior core. Thinner laminations in a motor core reduce energy losses, improve efficiency, and enable higher performance, especially in high-speed or high-frequency applications.

• Reduced Eddy Current Losses

  • Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced in the core by alternating magnetic fields.

  • Thinner laminations, insulated from each other, restrict the path of these currents, significantly lowering heat generation and wasted energy.

• Lower Hysteresis Losses

  • Each magnetic cycle causes energy loss due to the core material’s magnetization and demagnetization.

  • Using thinner, high-quality electrical steel laminations reduces hysteresis losses, improving efficiency.

• Improved Efficiency & Power Density

  • Less heat loss means more of the input energy is converted into useful mechanical work.

  • This boosts power density (more power per unit weight/volume), which is critical in electric vehicles, aerospace, and compact industrial motors.

• Better High-Frequency Performance

  • Modern drives often operate at higher switching frequencies (thanks to SiC and GaN electronics).

  • Thinner laminations handle these frequencies more effectively, maintaining efficiency and torque density.

• Enhanced Continuous Power Capability

  • Reduced losses allow motors to sustain higher output without overheating, improving reliability and lifespan.

  For high-speed, high performance external rotors, this is the latest tech. These new motors are far more efficient and powerful that anything produced by amateur winders in the GDR. You can find custom full-pitch wound Xnovas at Clugh, along with the 0.1mm Egodrift Eclipse series. We offer multiple winding options beyond the conventional WYE or DELTA wound machines, using superior material to rebuild your motor without cutting corners for cost. I'll post a build review of these engines on Hobby Squawk in January: until then, the Powercroco minions can enjoy 68% eta's and all the scorched wunderbar coming out of Thungaria!!
  

  

The latest high end hobby external rotor BLDC motors you can have custom wound at Clugh perform nothing like the reactive power drama queens you'll find in Gotha Germany! They run much cooler and make more torque.
