GForce Burst Sonic 540-class brushless motor

GForce have introduced their new Burst Sonic 540-class electric brushless modified and stock motors. They build around a minimalistic machined aluminium can with an exposed and specially coated stator for improved cooling in high ambient temperatures while the internal design makes for greatly increased overall torque which is further helped by the use of 13mm rotors. The motor also features adjustable timing, dual sensor ports for easier and tidier wire routing, heavy-duty gold-plated solder tabs as well as laser-engraved graphics. The modified range includes 5.5T to 8.5T variants while the stock motors come as 10.5T to 21.5T variants all of which utilise 7.2mm inner diameter rotors for sharper response to throttle input.

GForce TS90A 10.5T Drift Max Combo

Coming from GForce is their new Drift Max Combo, containing the TS90Plus speed controller and 10.5T Ryujin brushless drift car motor. The club-level TS90Plus speed controller features robust hardware with high-quality FETs for a very low internal resistance and lower operation temperatures, maximising the power output. The speedo’s software is widely adjustable using the optional Progbox, allowing to adapt the controller to a wide range of track conditions and driver preferences. As for the 10.5T Ryujin motor, the power plant is housed in a black anodised aluminium can with excessive machining making for a low weight and improved cooling. An internal fan further helps with heat dissipation while creating a unique sound, mimicking a high-revving internal combustion engine.

GForce V2 spring rate gauge

GForce from Japan have introduced their new V2 spring rate gauge that allows for easy and precise spring rate measuring. The updated variant allows to pre-set four stroke settings of 2mm, 5mm, 8mm and 10mm, ensuring usability with both on-road and off-road springs that require different stroke values for measurement. The gauge uses a machined aluminium case, it features a laser-engrave size scale and an easy to read LC display to check the N/cm unit spring rate. The devise is usable with springs of up to 80mm in length and it is available in black or blue colour.

GForce GD250 stand alone discharger

GForce from Japan have introduced their new GD250 stand alone discharger for 2S to 8S LiPo and 2-cell to 30-cell NiMH battery packs. With its 250W power circuitry it allows for up to 35A of discharge current with a 2S LiPo or LiHV battery pack, enough to swiftly discharge a fully charged battery down to storage voltage or to check a pack’s condition under heavier loads that the discharge function of a charger can supply. A display allows to monitor voltage, current and capacity in real time. The discharger can be coupled with a Windows PC and by using GForce’s GF Batt Manager software more details can be obtained from the discharge process – however the software is only available in Japanese language as of yet.
