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.
