MiniPro Motor Dyno V2

Almost 8-years on from the launch of their first Motor Dyno, MiniPro has released a V2 version of the R/C Car Inertia Motor Dynamometer. The new V2 was designed for the testing all types of R/C motors, brushed or brushless. The load on the motor is produced by the inertia flywheel unit, a high quality 6061 aluminium frame cover around the flywheel to protect from high rpm speeds, and an embedded dyno board to accurately measure the acceleration of the DUT (device under test). The dyno uses a pinion/gear combination to accelerate the inertial mass (flywheel). Its embedded dyno board takes the flywheel’s inertia (resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion), and measures the rate it takes to accelerate it and calculates the output power and torque of the DUT. The dyno repeatedly measures and calculates power in small increments to produce an accurate graph on a PC of the motor’s power characteristics. Precise, otherwise known as “Repeatability” is what you want in a dyno, that means test the same electric motor time after time and get the same results. The V2 dyno is capable of repeatable test results using the built-in Throttle controller sensor (license required).

MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool

MR33, in collaboration with BOOM RC, has released this Horizontal Body Mounting Tool to make customising your 1:10 scale touring car body a safe and easy task. The MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool consists of high-quality 3D-printed components and is assembled according to a modular system. This means you can use it with the most important 1:10 touring car bodies and always mark and drill your horizontal holes perfectly. The base part is printed in such a way that it can be placed perfectly on the rear wing brackets of the corresponding body. This means that everything is perfectly centred right from the start. Use the enclosed full-surface plastic washers to set the desired distance between the body holes (measured downwards from the spoiler mount). Most teams already have specifications here that you can use as a guide. The marking plate screwed to the base part indicates the perfect hole positions that you need to mark by means of the exact hole spacing. Then all you have to do is drill the holes and that’s it. Sounds simple – and it is. With the MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool, shaking or marking the holes at an angle is practically no longer possible. Different versions (with different inserts) are available, and MR33 has also prepared the marking plates for different touring car models.

Tekno RC EB48 2.2 1:8 Electric Buggy

Following the release of their latest 1:8 Nitro Buggy last month, Tekno has now added the 2.2 version of its EB48 electric 1:8 Buggy. As with the NB48 2.2, the EB48 2.2 is the culmination of over two years of extensive testing and development on tracks across the United States and Europe. With this the eighth iteration of the EB48 series, which first debuted in 2012, Tekno’s team of designers utilised feedback from professional drivers and loyal customers to enhance this version, resulting in a vehicle that has already proven its ability by winning the ROAR 2023 1:8 Electric Off-Road Nationals. Among the standout features of the EB48 2.2 are the new flex-tuned Split Design 7075 CNC Machined Shock Towers, which enhance vehicle consistency on medium to low grip tracks. The 93.5mm Rear Universal Driveshafts contribute to improved stability and support, while the Precision Molded Shock Pistons and Guides reduce internal shock friction, resulting in better bump handling. The Reduced Ackermann Spindle Plates are designed to improve steering predictability mid-corner, and the Adjustable Sway Bar Deadband Bushings help bump handling by allowing suspension movement prior to stabilisation.

JConcepts Double Dees V2 Stadium Truck Tyres

JConcepts has released its Double Dees V2 tyre for 1:10 Stadium Truck racing in in green compound. Originals are often hard to beat, in the case of the Double Dees V2, every attempt at improving was considered. The carcass was revised for a broader and lower carcass for a stout feel in straight-line tracking ability. The sidewall provides a little cushion for bumps and terrain irregularities and the “hips” have moved a little lower for more stability. The inner carcass webbing has also been designed to incorporate a more traditional overlapping X pattern concept to provide the all-around support needed at high-speed. The V2 rear tyre is perfect for a variety of track surfaces and when conditions are unknown, the Double Dees are always a safe choice.
