Minion Brushless Motor: Standalone, SplineXS, FRC & Robotics

High torque. Small frame. The Minion motor is a compact standalone brushless motor engineered for high power density across FRC drivetrains, custom mechanisms, and automation builds. When paired with the Talon FXS motor controller you unlock the full potential of the Phoenix software integration, giving you low-latency telemetry, live closed-loop control, and thermal protection.

• SplineXS Output Shaft: Handles heavy torque loads without backlashes or keyway wear to distribute forces uniformly across the shaft interface.
• Talon FXS & Phoenix Native: Connects directly with the Talon FXS for real-time current limiting, onboard motion profiling, and status monitoring in Phoenix Tuner.
• Built-In Thermal Management: Onboard temperature sensing feeds thermal data back to the controller, preventing motor burnout during high-current stall conditions and extended use.
• Drop-In Mounting Flexibility: Features versatile bolt patterns and supported screw sizes so you can mount it directly to standard robotics hardware without custom adapter plates.

Use Minion with the all-new Talon FXS motor controller!

Built to Drive. Ready to Compete.

Power, precision, and durability packed into a compact 1.5" footprint. Intentionally built for the demands of  competitive robotics, this motor pairs serious output with seamless integration into the Phoenix ecosystem.

Serious Power in a Small Frame: Pushes up to 610 W peak power and 3.1 Nm stall torque while weighing just 0.65 lbs. You get the high power-to-weight ratio you need without being overweight.

Zero-Slop Torque Delivery: Features a SplineXS shaft for lower backlash, uniform load distribution, and higher torque capacity under heavy mechanism strain.

Plug-and-Play ecosystem: Built-in JST 6-pin feedback (position + temp) and high-current 12 AWG pre-crimped leads hook directly into your Talon FXS setup for instant closed-loop control and thermal monitoring.

Drop-In Mounting: Multiple bolt patterns out of the box match standard 550, 775, and FRC mounting layouts, saving you custom machining time when prototyping.
