Speedzone Peerless V2 brushless motors

Speedzone have released their second generation Peerless series electric brushless motors. The motors feature higher tolerance and more durable components, which helps facilitate a lower resistance, longer lasting motor. A variety of turns are available and each motor is built to the highest of standards. The motors are bench tested and the lightweight design features upgraded bearings and symmetrical vent openings, which in conjunction with the case and stator structure further reduces motor temperature and maximises efficiency. It also allows for easy stator measurement without disassembly. Spec motors are produced with a short stator and HT rotor while modified motors come with a standard size stator.

Xray NT1 & XB4 low height internal diff gears

Xray have introduced a set of low height bevel and satellite gears for the NT1 and XB4 series of cars. The lightweight gears are made of a special graphite composite material that offers high durability, low wear and an ultra-low rotational mass. Using the parts improves the drivetrain efficiency and the gears are also usable with the T3 line touring cars.

T-Works Progressive Damper System

T-Works have introduced their Progressive Damper System for a range of electric touring car kits. Adapting a common design that is popular especially when racing on asphalt tracks, the system utilises bushings with triangular-shaped openings as well as plain pistons. The bushings are inserted into the shock housings and the plain pistons are used in place for the drilled standard ones while the triangular openings in the tubes allowing the oil to bypass the piston on compression. With ongoing compression the opening above the piston becomes smaller, resulting in a progressive, harder dampening that can lead to faster corner speeds and improved stability. Included in each set are four bushings and four plain pistons and the system is available for the HPI Pro5, Xray T4’16 as well as the Yokomo BD7-2015 and BD7-2016.

GForce shock synchroniser tool

GForce have introduced the shock synchroniser tool for the use with dampers of up to 122mm of length. Machined from high-quality aluminium the tool allows to precisely adjust parameters such as shock length, rebound or spring preload as it directly compares the behaviour of two shock absorbers during compression or expansion. Four thumb screws make for easy and convenient shock mounting while laser-etched metric and imperial scales display the exact measurements. The tool is available is black or blue anodising.
