Kraken X44 Compact Brushless Motor Powered by Talon FX™

Designed for tight spaces, the Kraken X44 offers powerful performance in a compact package engineered for FIRST® Robotics Competition teams, dedicated hobbyists, and professional robotics applications like industrial automation. Ideal for mechanisms such as shooters, hoods, and intakes/columns, the X44 features a smaller diameter while sharing the same motor boss, shaft, and length as the Kraken X60. This allows the Kraken X44 to serve as a convenient "drop in" replacement for the X60 in your custom robot and machinery designs. Assembled and QA tested at CTRE HQ in Michigan.
