Available now from Trinity are their new 30mm and 40mm aluminium fan units. The fans utilise machined aluminium cases in a heatsink design which allows for additional cooling surface when directly coupled to motor or speed controller cans or cases. The 30mm fan is of a 2-tone black and blue design while the 40mm unit comes in a black and silver finish. Both utilise all-black wires for a stealthy factory look.
Team Zombie have introduced their new Evo 540-size brushless motor. It features a unique 1-piece aluminium can that covers most of the stator, however it leaves open the large alloy insulator which ensures improved overall cooling. The endbell also sports cooling openings to further improve airflow through the can especially when used in 4WD off-road classes. A new stator design optimised the power curve, making it more linear which is essential for a more connected throttle feeling. The motor weighs in at around 150g, making it not the lightest, however with modern mid-motor touring cars being in need of weight in around the electronics area, it allows to achieve a balanced weight bias easier. Other features include 2mm thick ultra-low resistance solder tabs as well as high-precision ball bearings. The motor will become available in popular stock windings such as 13.5T and 17.5T.
Fantom have introduced their new FR-8 Pro brushless speed controller and ICON Pro brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. Starting with the speed controller, the FR-8 Pro features a high-performance 32-bit CPU and proprietary firmware, providing the driver with smooth throttle response, exceptional power delivery, and all the adjustable parameters that can be expected from a pro racing ESC. The 3S to 6S LiPo compatible controller is 220A rated, it features a 6V/7.4V, 8A BEC system, 10AWG wires and a 34mm fan unit with aluminium fan cover.
Donathen RC have introduced their new custom sensor wires, fully sheathed offerings that can be customised with more than 20 sleeve and six heat shrink colours. The wires feature reinforced high-quality black colour connectors, black colour high-flex silicone wire, and they are available in sizes of 50mm up to 275mm. Due to the tubed-design they are extremely usable for heavy duty off-road applications where the sheathing prevents dirt, stones or rotating parts from harming the delicate wires. The sensor wires are also available as “Wolf Style” extra reinforced or regular variants.
Trinity have introduced the new Revtech X-Factor modified brushless motors in a range of 3.0T to 9.5T windings. The power plants utilise a highly machined aluminium case for exceptional heat dissipation and this, in combination with highest quality materials, gives virtually zero fade during a run. New and improved solder tabs now make wiring even easier. A huge variety of optional roots such as 12.3mm long, 12.5mm long, 11.5mm, 12mm, 12.5mm and 13mm allows to tune to power to the drivers preference. The motor is available in 3.0T up to 7.5T windings in even and .5 variants and also as 8.5T and 9.5T versions.
Kyosho have announced the soon release of their all-new Speed House Torx 10 540-size brushless motors. The sensored motors were developed for high-performance competition use, offering high efficiency, a low weight and exceptional heat dissipation thanks to a highly machined case. Sturdy heavy-duty solder tabs and a rearward-facing sensor port round out the package. The 5.5T to 10.5T modified motors will come equipped with a 5.0×12.3×24.0mm rotor while the 13.5T to 21.5T stock motors are tuned using a 5.0×12.5×24.2mm rotor.

Muchmore have introduced their new Fleta ZX V2 ER Spec stock class brushless motor that comes including the MR-FZR21X 12.5×7.25×24.2mm [X] titanium rotor. Available as 17.5T and 21.5T variant, the motor will produce increased torque which comes in handy especially for blink buggy classes and when running in high-bite traction conditions. Besides the rotor, the motor makes use of the same features as the standard ER Spec series, meaning it utilises the highly machined Flow-Max 2 aluminium can, a high-power stator, heavy-duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing end plate.

Dash RC have announced the release of their new anti-tweak sensor wires. Available in 50mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm length, the high-quality sensors wires are very soft, ensuring easy routing and very little influence on chassis and power pod tweak when used in pan car classes. Additionally the flat design allows to route the wires underneath motors or speed controllers which comes in handy for touring cars and buggies.
