Peak Motors Vantage BL

This is the first picture of the soon to be released Vantage Brushless motor from Peak. Made using the same pedigree as the previous motors in the World Champion Vantage range, the Vantage BL is Peaks first entry into the competition brushless motor market. Longer run time, with maximum power throughout the entire run, combined with superior braking shows this motor is meant for serious racers and it works with all the leading sensored and sensorless 1:10 brushless ESCâ€™s.

GM Racing Evo3 and Dr. Speed Brushless motors

GM Racing Evo3 and Dr. Speed

GM have released two new ranges of brushless motors for both competition and sport applications. First up is the new Evo3 competition motor which is a highly efficient, reliable and top end performance motor which is sensored for smooth and reactive control and which features multiple, extra-thick, windings together with an extremely low-loss design and sintered neodymium magnets to ensure enormous power and high efficiency. With the ability to adjust the sensor timing and the motors use of large cooling slots, you can really get the maximum from this motor. The Dr. Speed sport motor is similar to the Evo3 but is intended for sport applications, with both motors are available in a large number of winds and wind types.

More details can be found here (Evo3) and here (Dr. Speed).

LRP A.I.

Yesterday we told you about the new Evil controller from Nosram, well if you prefer blue in your car here is the exact same product from LRP called the A.I. Aimed at the sports class the A.I., as with all modern speedos, can automatically detect the motor (brushed, brushless) and cell type (NiMh, Lipo) and can work with 4, 5 or 6 cell configurations. The standard version can handle brushed systems up to 10 turns and brushless to 12.5 turns, whilst the â€˜Proâ€™ version (above) can handle brushed systems up to 7 turns and brushless to 8.5 turns. LRP are also releasing their version of the Dragon brushless motor that we showed you yesterday called the Eraser so you just need to choose whether you like LRP blue or Nosram red, its that simple.
