ORCA Blitreme Pro brushless stock motor

Available very soon from ORCA is their new Blitreme Pro brushless stock motor. Specially designed to achieve the highest possible power output for blinky stock racing classes, the motor is build using special processes and using hand-wound stators meaning only a limited amount of motors can be produced per week, making it a somewhat “limited edition” item. It is understood that the motor will become available in 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T and 25.5T specification and it will hit stores from end of November.

Dash R-Tune 540-size brushless motor

Arrowmax have introduced the Dash R-Tune 540-size sensored competition brushless motor. It features a high airflow design with large cooling openings in the machined aluminium case for improved cooling efficiency and less power fading even when using low turn windings in high ambient temperatures. The redesigned stator further adds to the overall performance, increasing torque and reducing heat build-up. The motor is available in 4.5T to 9.5T Modified and 10.5T to 21.5T Stock variants with each featuring a specific setup to ensure maximum drivability and feel.

Ultimate Racing MZ8 Pro BL motor & MX8 Race ESC

Modelix Racing from Spain have introduced their all-new Ultimate Racing MZ8 Pro brushless motor and MX8 Race brushless speed controller. Starting with the motor, the 690-size unit features a CNC-machined 3-piece 7075 aluminium case with integrated heatsink and it is of a 6-pole design for power and drivability. Strong neodymium magnets ensure high torque and an optimised stator design, dual high-quality ball bearings and pre-soldered quick-change heavy duty connectors make for high reliability. The motor is available in 1900kV and 2100kV variants and it includes pre-soldered wires.

Yokomo BL-RS4D ESC & Zero 2 Drift Spec motor

Yokomo have introduced their new BL-RS4D brushless speed controller and Zero 2 Drift Spec brushless motor for 1/10th drift cars. The controller features a laser-etched case and a default software setting developed by Yokomo team driver Takahiro that had proven to be the best basic setup for most conditions. The controller comes with a black receiver wire and and pre-soldered connectors. The controller is available separately or as combo pack with the new 10.5T or 13.5T Zero 2 Drift Spec brushless motor.

Muchmore Fleta ZX V2 aluminium screw sets

Muchmore have introduced aluminium screw sets for their range of Fleta ZX V2 brushless motors. Including three long fasteners for the case and three short countersunk screws for the timing cap, the sets not only are about 65 percent lighter, thanks to being non-magnetic they also increase the overall RPM and performance of the motor compared to the standard steel screws. The sets are available in orange, red or gun metal anodising.

Reedy 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor

Reedy have introduced their new 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor for 1/10th scale 4WD RTR vehicles. Due to its sensorless 4-pole configuration, the motor operates powerfully, efficiently, and reliably in a variety of vehicles and applications. The 3500kV rating provides plenty of speed with 2S LiPo batteries but installing a 3S LiPo battery for even greater speeds is also possible. A high-strength rotor provides plenty of torque and resists overheating better than 2-pole alternatives. The motor comes pre-wired with flexible silicone wires and 3.5mm bullet connectors to reduce power-robbing resistance and heat. Triple insulated windings, a hardened 5mm steel shaft, and oversized ball bearings that enhance reliability round out the package.
