Kraken X44: A Smaller, More Powerful Motor

WestCoast Products & CTR Electronics are excited to introduce the Kraken X44, a compact motor that follows the design philosophy of the Kraken X60.

Designed for tight spaces, the Kraken X44 offers powerful performance in a compact package, making it ideal for applications like shooters, hoods, and intakes/columns. With its smaller diameter, the X44 shares the same motor boss, shaft, and length as the X60. All this allows for the Kraken X44 to be a very close "drop in" replacement for the X60 in your robot designs.
