Schumacher Racing are announcing that GM Racing have released two new Pro motors for 2010. The 10.5 and 13.5 turn motors both feature new improved cooling and performance with a shorter and lighter can. Now available and set to be BRCA legal, pending appearance on BRCA website, they have a sensored design, are fitted with a 12.3mm spec rotor and includes sensor leads for GM and other speed controls.

New from Team Epic is this Nemesis Project 7.5T high torque dirt oval motor. Featuring a high power rotor for dirt oval and off-road, it delivers lots of low end power to keep your car from bogging off the corners. There is also a new rotor for Nemesis modified motors used for 1-cell racing. The diameter and magnet strength is designed to increase rpm and power when using the 50% less voltage of a 1 cell pack. A red end cap is for easy identification and it is ROAR legal for both spec & modified classes.
Speed Passion have introduced their ‘revolutionary’ Cirtix series of 1/10th and 1/8th scale slotless sensored brushless motors. Bridging the gap between the raw power and high efficiency of a slotless motor design, and the zero cogging smooth low end of a sensored system. The best of both worlds is now here for any mod 1/10th offroad or onroad vehicle, or 1/8th buggy and truggy. The Cirtix motor series features all the incredible power and efficiency of a slotless motor design, which means more power, longer run time and less motor heat in any mod 1/10th application, as well as stronger and smoother braking. These efficiency gains no longer have to come at the expense of common sensorless ESC cogging at startup and low speeds, as the Cirtix motors are the first slotless motors compatible with any sensored ESC. When combined with Speed Passion’s newly redesigned sensored 1/8th scale ESC, the Cirtix 1/8th scale motors provide all the brutal horsepower needed in any 1/8th scale application, as well as the accuracy and control of a cog-free sensored system. Both of these new motor lines are built to ROAR legal specs, and approvals are pending at this time.

Nosram have released the next generation of their Pure Evolution motors with the new Octa-wind modified motor. Featuring a revolutionary 8 time winding, this helps improve the motors performance and lower its heat development and resistance, meaning higher efficiency and more power. The motor features state of the art components like the all new XTEC X12 competition teardown, PreciSensorTM system, extra-thick copper winding and a special low-resistance design.

New from RMS is the Motor Measurement system, a device that allows you to measure the resistance of your brushless cans to give you the best combination of motor components obtain the best performance. The MMS measures the resistance of the motor winding(s) and comes ready with a 3½ digit LCD that can measure winding resistance from 0.1 to 399.9 milli ohms. Readings can be done with the motor in or out of the car or the rotor in or out of the motor and is also great for tech inspection.

Team Epic have released this high performance brushless motor oil, a synthetic ball bearing oil blended for BL modified and spec motors. Despite the high heat and RPM produced by the BL motor, the specially formulated oil will not break down and keep your bearings running smooth.

LRP have introduced the 2nd generation of their XTEC X12 technology, which feature an 8 time (Octa) winding instead of the previous 4 time winding, the effect is a different power characteristic resulting in much higher performance. The LRP R&D team has increased the number of copper wires used in the motor, resulting in lower resistance and thanks to the lower heat development of the octa wind less energy is lost resulting in higher efficiency. The end result is more power.

Team Epic have released their Nemesis project rotor tuning kits. Allowing you to tune your brushless motors with a variety of different strength rotors for the highest performance track to track, each kit, Modified & Spec, comes with 2 rotors of different strengths than stock for fine tuning your horsepower. Rotors are color coded for easy identification and there are also replacement standard rotors available.
