R1 Wurks V21 25.5T brushless motor

R1 Wurks have announced the release of their V21 25.5T brushless motor. Using proprietary R1 stator laminate material, specially designed stators, epoxy-bound end winds as well as ultra low resistance collector rings, the motors offers greatly improved resistance compared to the previous V16 for increased performance and lower running temperatures. The motors come including an aluminium timing ring and they are BRCA and EFRA approved with the ROAR approval pending.

R1 Wurks V21 1650 torque tuned rotor

R1 Wurks have announced the launch of the new 1650 option rotor for the V21 line of motors. The selected rotors offers 1625 to 1650+ Gauss reading, which is slightly higher than the company’s stock rotors for improved torque. The ROAR-approved rotor, much like the 1650 for the V16, includes the needed shims, as well as a printout of the rotor’s gauss reading.

Wild Turbo Fan Blow Harder 30mm fan

Wild Turbo Fan have introduced their new Blow Harder 30mm fan unit. The 12mm thick fan features an industry first nine exhaust fins design which generates the twisting wind pattern for focused air flow, hence more air to cool the object. With the nine exhaust fins design the support structure between the case and the core has been increased, and together with thicker side walls the case is much stronger compared to a standard 30mm fan. A round lip is also moulded into the intake side of the fan to further smooth out air flow. Last but not least, all the fan unit is manufactured with all new electronics.

Surpass Rocket Taurus 1/8th brushless motors

Coming from Surpass Hobby are their new Rocket Taurus 1/8th scale electric brushless motors. They utilise a high-strength 7075 aluminium case in a red and black bi-colour design and feature a special winding technology for exceptional power and efficiency of the 4-pole motors. Highest quality components such as US-imported copper and Japanese ceramic bearings ensure high power output as to heavy-duty solder terminals. Other features include a fully rebuildable design, CCW or CW timing adjustment, and the ability to mount the morons using either two M4 or four M3 screws. The Rocket Taurus series motors are available in a open can 4268 on-road variant in 2700kV, 2350kV, 2000kV, 1850kV or 1550kV specification and also as 4274 off-road variant in 2200kV, 1950kV, 1700k, 1500kV or 1400kV specs. Both motors are designed to comply with IFMAR, ROAR, EFRA and BRCA rules.

Reedy Sonic S-Plus 25.5 motor

Reedy’s Sonic S-Plus motor is now available in a version that meets ROAR’s unique guidelines for 25.5 turn motors typically used in Formula and VTA racing classes. Maximum power output is achieved thanks to near-minimum resistance measurements and a high-strength balanced rotor. In addition to increased power output, reduced weight improves handling and chassis-turning flexibility. Additionally, the motor’s length has been shortened by more than 2mm, which aids left/right balance and moves mass towards the centre of the chassis. Finally, precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability.
