Coming from Bruno RC and made for the Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 brushless motors is a new titanium motor screw set. The kit includes three M2x43mm motor can screws as well as a single M2.4x5mm alloy fastener for the sensor back plate. Using the screws over the standard steel hardware will lower the motor’s overall weight while reducing the magnetic interference at the same time, resulting in improved motor performance and agility.
RC Concept have released first images of their forthcoming EC8R 1/8th scale electric brushless motor. No official information are available yet but the motor utilises a black anodised aluminium can with red edge details and large venting openings for optimised heat dissipation. Large, gold-plated solder tabs and a rubber-protected sensor port round out the package. More information will become available in time for the release.
Trinity have introduced a neon pink limited edition end plate set for the Monster Max and Monster Horsepower motors. Included are the sensor and pinion side end plates as well as the sensor board cover plate all anodised in hot pink, making the motor stand out from the crowd.
Coming from Yokomo and made for their Racing Performer series of brushless motors are machined titanium screws. While saving weight the screws also have less influence on the magnetic field of the motor, compared to the standard steel fasteners, which results in increased RPM, enhanced agility and better overall performance. Included are three M2.5x8mm and three M2.5×44.5mm screws in a natural silver finish.
Yuki Model from Germany have introduced their new limited edition 3200kV B4 motor and controller combo set. The 60A rated power pack consists of a water-resistant 3S LiPo-compatible controller and a 3200kV sensorless motor. Both come pre-wired with a T-type battery connector and bullet-style motor plugs and the controller is programmable using Yuki Model’s optional programming box.

Hobbywing have introduced their new XeRun series Axe brushless power system for crawlers and trail trucks. Featuring the new FOC Field-oriented Control technology, that is understood to match the motor RPM with the throttle position, the system allows for greatly improved car control especially on downhill sections while making the system more silent, higher performing and more reliable. The motor, with a newly developed staggered pole design, ensures consistent deceleration, smoother power supply, smoother brake control and an overall greatly improved throttle feeling. The whole system is IP-67 waterproof for go-everywhere capabilities right out of the package and the controller is programmable using Hobbywing’s iOS or Android apps and using the speedo’s build-in Bluetooth module.

Coming from GL Racing is their new 3500kV HT brushless motor for 1/28th micro cars. Somewhere in the middle of kV ratings for a micro-size motor the power plant will offer linear power control, high efficiency and lots of torque for smaller circuits. The 15mm diameter motor uses dual Japanese-made ball bearings and it fits Kyosho’s Mini-Z VE cars as fellas many other 1/28th scale cars on the market.

During this week’s 2018 Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan O.S. Engines are presenting their new O.S. Speed branded sensored brushless motors and speed controller. The sensored competition motors are housed in a nicely machined 2-tone aluminium can with large cooling openings, heavy duty solder tabs and all-aluminium timing end cap. It is understood that the motors will become available in all popular modified and stock windings. Over to the O.S. Speed brushless speed controller, the device comes in an all-black design with a machined alloy case as well as black power, capacitor and receiver wires for a stealthy factory look. An external programming box allows to fine-tune the speed’s software and a large fan keeps the operation temperatures down. On the nitro side of things the iconic Japanese manufacturer shows off its new 4-shoe nitro off-road clutch that is tuneable with a total of three different hardness springs and two alloy clutch shoe types.
