Novak Sintered 13mm Tuning Rotor

Novak have introduced this sintered 13mm tuning rotor that has been designed to alter the feel and experience of driving a Novak motor, and offers a new dimension of tunability. With a slightly larger diameter and improved magnetic material, the rotor can withstand a higher temperature threshold, improving its durability while also increasing the natural drag brake and opening up the motor’s gearing window to improve drivability. The Sintered 13mm Tuning Rotor is compatible with the Novak Velociti-series, SS Pro-series brushless motors and any Novak 540-size brushless motors with an oversized front end bell bearing.

Trion Cooling fan & heatsink V2

We wrote about Japanese brand Trion having released this cooling fan and heatsink combination a while ago, well now it comes available in 3 different colours – blue, red, purple and of course the original silver colour. The product itself still does the same thing – an aluminium heatsink for around your 540 type motor and a fan to take away the hot air. This particular version has a motor that rotates at 10,000rpm with the fan able to be mounted in 3 different positions on the heatsink.

Motor Mania Pride 23T motor

There seems to be no end to the 23 turn motors coming out of Japan at the moment, with the release of this motor from Motor Mania, called the Pride. Extensively tested before release, and conforming to JMRCA rules, the people from Motor Mania believe they have obtained the optimum specification of durability within a high torque motor, thanks in part to its cooling fans on the rotor and titanium coloured casing which both aid the heat dissipation.
