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.

Hyperdrive Racing have shown pictures of their new 1/12th scale chassis which is a T-plate car and features a thick carbon fibre chassis, which is heavily suited to carpet racing. The design of the rear of the car ensures that the latest brushless motors fit in with ease, so much so that they can be removed from or inserted into the car without taking off the rear block or even the wheel.

You may remember a long time ago that Team Magic announced that they were going to enter the electric touring car market with, what was at the time and still is, a rather unconventional looking car. Well that car has been seen testing recently, in preparation for its pending release and from what we can see it retains the same 3 belt layout but has a number of changes from the prototype we saw previously, such as the upper bracket and changes to the front of the car, perhaps to make it simpler. The car retains its central battery mount, similar to the Losi JRX-S Type R, and has been kept extremely low which is one of the things i did really like about the car. Release date is not yet known, but the car in the pictures appears to have production parts on it, so expect it soon.
