New Align BL450M Brushless Outrunner Motor

Align has announced for their new product of the latest 450 size brushless motor. This motor is a true outrunner design similar to Scorpion where the outer can spins. The BL450M is designed as a “shelterless” outrunner which means it doesn’t have an outer can protecting the spinning part of the motor.
