Tekin Redline Gen3 brushless motors

Available soon are Tekin’s all-new Redline Gen3 540-size electric brushless motors. The third generation Redlines are re-engineered from the ground up resulting in a smaller, lighter and faster sensored motor that also delivers smooth power across the whole RPM range. The Gen3 21.5T, 17.5T and 13.5T are available in an RPM version as well as the standard versions. Designed for applications where higher RPM is more beneficial than torque, these motors are ideal for 1/12th and touring car racing classes. The Gen3 modified group of motors are custom tuned with rotor sizes to give you the performance needed for your application. The 21.5T down to 8.5T group come standard with 12.5mm performance rotors and the 7.5T to 2.5T group are equipped with a 13mm rotor for that extra torque needed in modified racing.

ARC R8.0E 1/8th electric on-road car

Coming soon from ARC is the R8.0E 1/8th scale electric on-road kit. The electrified version of the popular R8.0 nitro car shares more that 80 percent of the parts with its nitro sibling while offering a purpose-designed layout with the drivetrain located between the saddle pack batteries. The chassis allows to use either 2S or 3S hardcase LiPo battery packs which are located as close to the centreline as possible for an improved weight distribution and maximised agility. The layout provides an ultra-low centre of gravity, a 50/50 left-to-right and 48/52 front-to-rear balance. The result is minimised chassis roll to make for better handling and a more balanced driving feel. Tests have shown that dual 2S packs and a 2200kv motor will accelerate the car to speeds of up to 85km/h while dual 3S batteries will propel the R8.0E to speeds of up to 115km/h, exceeding most nitro cars.

Serpent wide rear wing, diffusor & rear pod plate

Made for the Serpent F110 SF2 formula car is are a new wide rear wing, diffusor and an adjustable rear pod support plate. Starting with the wing, it is available in a black and a white version and while being wider than the standard part it also offers additional adjustments in order to fine-tune downforce and drag. Swinging over to the diffusor, the moulded composite part is available in black colour only and it can add a certain stability while offering protection for the rear pod and spur gear at the same time. The diffusor is moulded from high-quality composite material and it attaches to the rear pod plate. Last but not least is the adjustable rear pod carbon fibre plate for the F110 that allows to mount the rear wing in a standard and a high position while retaining the diffusor’s low position. The wing and diffusor fit Serpent’s F110 kit and also the cars of many other brands.
