Team Brood Maelstrom 540 FS-2 Handwound 5 Segment 540 Crawling Motor (16T)

The Brood Maelstrom 540 FS-2 Handwound 5 Segment Dual Magnet 540 Crawling Motor is a power plant designed to make insane torque and have superior braking and holding power. These teardowns feature a CNC machined can that provides optimal performance over a stamped can due to the incredibly accurate tolerances. The Maelstrom utilizes a 5-Slot Straight Armature for the smoothest possible startup for your truck.

Each motor is custom built from the ground up. The armatures are hand wound with precision by the best in the business using optimized wire gauges for ultimate horsepower. Each armature is epoxy dipped to ensure durability and drill balanced to a zero tolerance for the smoothest power delivery possible. The assembly process is a rigorous one involving hand shimming, precise brush hood alignment, low impact break-in, and dyno testing. The result? Positively THE MOST POWER you can strap into your truck.
