Reedy Sonic SP5 25.5 A-Spec Competition Stock Motor

Reedy has introduced its all-new Sonic SP5 25.5 A-Spec stock motors with minor changes to the stator improving torque for racers who utilise 25.5 motors in competition. The incredible performance of the SP5 starts at the heart of the motor, the stator. Designed in-house, the stator’s profile is intended to achieve maximum torque and power output without sacrificing RPM. High-quality copper magnet wire, sized to the maximum that the rules allow and wound with care to keep resistance near the legal minimum, is treated with heat transfer epoxy to dissipate heat and reduce internal temperatures resulting in less fade over the course of the race. An oversized collector ring not only dissipates heat, but in conjunction with thick solder tabs, reduces resistance and power loss. The balanced rotor features a high-strength magnet that takes full advantage of dimensional rules to produce fade-free power with maximum effectiveness. The rotor is supported by precision stainless steel ball bearings to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability. Like all Reedy Sonic motors, a high-quality sensor board rounds out the motor’s interior. Externally, the SP5 utilizes a lightweight two-piece CNC machined aluminium housing with an aluminium endcap and timing adjustability to accommodate fine-tuning for specific applications.

Manzo46 Digital Caster Gauge Set

Manzo46 has announced an update to its Digital Caster Gauge Set with the release of the all-new M46-018. Due to long-term production problems at their measuring instrument supplier, their popular sM46-018 gauge was out of stock for a long time. With strong customer demand and an extensive search for a new supplier, Manzor46 took the initiative and developed their own measuring instrument. The all-new M46-018, which comes as 2-units, is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, but still offers the same proven functionality. While it now has a single-axis measurement, you can still measure both camber and caster, albeit in a slightly different way. For caster measurement, the process remains unchanged, with direct mounting of the gauge to the hub using the precision CNC-machined aluminium bracket. An alternative measurement option is provided for the camber with the M46-018 compatible with platforms such as Awesomatix, Xray X4, Mugen Seiki and Schumacher.
