CD Announcement
WestCoast Products & CTR Electronics are excited to introduce the Kraken X44, a compact motor that follows the design philosophy of the Kraken X60.
The Kraken X44 is engineered for applications where space is limited. While it is smaller and lighter than the Kraken X60, the X44 retains sufficient power for versatile implementation, making it suitable for 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 this motor to be a very close “drop in” replacement for the X60 in your robot designs.
The TalonFX is the latest motor controller technology from CTR Electronics, and is compatible with the CTR software and hardware ecosystem.
