Team Powers Actinium V4 brushless motors

Team Powers have released V4 of their Actinium line of brushless motors. Compared to the V3, there is a new stator design to improve the torque at bottom end, while a black coating improves the outwards appearance. High grade copper wire improves the motor resistance, while a new heavily machined case design improves heat dissipation. Weighing approximately 150grams, it will come in 4.5T, 5.5T, 6.5T, 7.5T, 8.5T, 9.5T, 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T & 21.5T variants.

Reedy Crawler 550 14T 5-slot motor

Reedy’s Crawler 550 14T 5-slot motor is the same motor that comes standard in the Element Enduro Gatekeeper RTR. Now available separately, this motor is highly capable, unlike typical ‘throw away’ RTR motors. Due to its longer 550 design, the Crawler 550 offers exceptional torque and power output while its 5-slot armature delivers precision throttle control for a variety of surfaces and course conditions. Long-wearing brushes, fixed 0° timing, low-friction bushings and silicone lead wires make this a highly valuable yet cost-effective performance upgrade for your truck.

Hobbywing XeRun 4268 & 4274 G3 series motors

Hobbywing have announced their all new XeRun 4268 & 4274 G3 series of motors for 1/8th scale applications. With options available for both onroad and offroad the new motors feature a built in chip that means it can be easily identified when pairing with Hobbywing’s XeRun XR8 series of ESC, allowing it to work in the sensored mode at all times for better performance. With this pairing the motor can also utilise the Turbo timing function which has been brought over from the 1/10th offroad to unlock maximum power from your motor. The motor can also have the mechanical turbo timing accurately adjusted in both clockwise and anti-clockwise between 20-40˚. The efficiency of the new motors has also been greatly improved over its predecessor with the efficiency improved by around 6% which helps reduces the heat build up in the motor. Featuring the first ‘error-free’ Hall sensor system it ensures the independent high speed and high-precision encoder always outputs pure rotor position signal, avoiding the interference of sensor signal, making the motor function more stable. The design of the G3 has also been optimised to reduce the weight of the motor with the can machined from a since piece of aluminium, the onroad version featuring additional cutouts. The 4268 is available in 1900KV & 2200KV for offroad and 2000KV & 2800KV for onroad, with the longer 4274 coming only in 2250KV.
