Reds Racing have released first teaser images of their forthcoming new VX3 540-class competition brushless motor. Of a minimalistic design with only a front and rear endbell and an exposed stator the motor is set to offer a low weight and exceptional heat dissipation. Full details will become available in time of the release.

Coming from Yeah Racing are their new Hackmoto V modified and stock 540-class brushless motors. The motors were designed with performance in mind, as by using oversized copper wires, the internal resistance of the motors has been lowered. Oversized angled copper solder tabs allow for ample space for soldering even large diameter wires and the motor case has been lightened as much as possible to reduce the weight which allows racers to easily balance their cars while helping with cooling. The sensored motors feature aluminium end bells, high-power Neodymium magnets and high-power rotors and they are available as 5.5T, 10.5T, 13.5T and 17.5T variants.
Absima from Germany have announced the release of their new Revenge CTM V3 1/8th scale electric brushless motor. The 4-pole motor is of a new design for an overall lower weight and increased performance with a CNC-machined heatsink design can making for improved cooling efficiency and less fading during a run. Other features include a high-torque stator, a high-strength balanced rotor, stainless steel ball bearings, silver-plated heavy-duty solder tabs as well as adjustable timing. The 4269-size motor weighs in at about 320g comes in five different winding variants including 1750kV, 1900kV, 2100kV, 2300kV and 2500kV and it is available from now on.
Coming from Maclan Racing is their new MR8.3 electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. The MR8.3 is 4.5mm shorter and up to 25g lighter than its predecessor with an all-new stator and rotor design offering a more linear and smoother power band along with higher efficiency for an overall lower power consumption. The motor also features an additional sensor port for easier wiring and it comes in the two kV options of 1900kV and 2100kV. For the best overall performance Maclan Racing recommends to use the motor with the soon to be releasing MMax 8 speed controller, however they are usable with all other sensored 1/8th scale brushless speed controllers too.
Absima have introduced their new Revenge CTM V3 540-size electric brushless motor. It is of a new design for an overall lower weight of around 165g and improved heat dissipation, ensuring fading-free performance over the whole run. The CNC-machined lightweight can houses a high-torque stator, a balanced high-strength rotor and stainless steel ball bearings. Silver-plated heavy-duty solder tabs, adjustable timing and, for the stock motors, a set of aluminium motor screws for improved overall performance, round out the package. The motor is available in 3.5T, 4.0T, 4.5T, 5.0T, 5.5T, 6.5T, 7.5T, 8.5T and 9.5T modified as well as 10.5T to 21.5T stock variants.
Available now from Muchmore Racing is their ROAR legal higher torque Spec X-Rotor. The rotor can be used in Muchmore’s entire Fleta ZX V2 line of 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T, and 21.5T spec motors. The new X-Rotor provides more torque, and will now replace the company’s very popular and race proven Z-Rotor.

Trinity have introduced their new 40mm aluminium cooling fan set that was designed to snap snugly into the outer grooves of the D8.5 motor. Included are a blue anodised aluminium fan mount as well as a 40mm aluminium cooling fan including mounting hardware. The fan features a heatsink design for cool looks and additional heat dissipation as well as an all-black wire for a stealthy factory appearance. While being a direct fit to the can of the D8.5 motor it also fits the older spec D8.

Kyosho’s Mini-Z brushless conversion set 8500kV allows to easily convert brushed motor Mini-Z buggies to brushless power. The set includes a Speed House XSpeed 85 8500kV brushless motor as well as a new power board, developed in cooperation with Scorpion Power System, with the actual swap being basically a plug and play, however it requires to solder the battery wires. The powerful motor allows for much greater speeds compared to the standard brushed motor while being more efficient at the same time.
