Hobbywing XeRun D10 drift series motors

Following the release of their drift specific XeRun XD10 Pro ESC, Hobbywing have now introduced these new drift series XeRun D10 motors. Like the ESC the motor is also available in black, red and purple. Internally, the new motor stator is optimised for drift and improves motor efficiency in drift applications. A built-in high-precision sensor board, combined with drift-specific fan rotors, provide excellent motor linearity and drivability while greatly improves motor efficiency. The 10.5T motor weighs approximately 158g while the 13.5T is at 165g (including 3 gold insert weights). The lightweight motor allows user to easily tweak their weight bias on their car. A neat feature is the the rotor is equipped with a fan that provides great heat dissipation. The special-shaped gold fan on the rotor cools the motor while making a pleasant sound, especially when Turbo is turned on. Optional rotors are available. The motor comes factory soldered with high quality 3.5mm banana plug for easy access swap to different motors with the 3.5mm male also included in the XD10 ESC.

Hobbywing XeRun XD10 Pro ESC

Hobbywing have introduced their first drift specific speed controller, the XeRun XD10 Pro. Available in black, red and purple, they match a large majority of the drift chassis colour ways on the market. The 32-bit M4 processor is equipped with powerful software, features new programmable parameters and it is optimised for drift applications. The new parameters such as, initial start-up force adjustment, 48K ultra-high drive frequency, and 24K ultra-high brake frequency ensures excellent drivability. It is tailored to extract and maximise performance for high-end drifters. The stylish aluminium fan is powerful and helps to massively cool down the ESC, while the ultra-soft 13AWG silicone wire is ultra-flexible and low in resistance. The built-in BEC is able to support both high torque and high voltage servos and can be adjustable at 5.0-7.4V (adjusted to 0.1V/step).

Ruddog aluminium high-speed ESC cooling fans

Ruddog Product’s aluminium high-speed ESC cooling fans combine cool looks and low ESC operating temperatures. With their aluminium housing, they not only look better than the usual plastic fans, they are also stiffer, which ensures long life and adds reliability, a huge potential advantage in hot conditions. The fans are available in sizes of 25 mm and 30 mm to offer an option for most ESCs on the market.

Maclan M32e Pro 200 ESC & MR8.4 series motor

Maclan Racing have introduced their new M32e Pro 200 Competition 1/8th ESC and all-new MR8.4 series motor for 1/8th competition applications. The M32e Pro 200 is purpose-built for the 1/8th scale eBuggy and eTruggy applications with upgraded internal components ensuring the operating temperature is lower than its predecessor. With silicon coating on the circuit boards, the M32e also offers better durability for the 1/8th scale competition environment. It utilises a full aluminium case that ensures maximum thermal dissipation and extreme durability and the 30mm HV turbo ESC fan provides that extra insurance to cool down the ESC in extreme ambient conditions. The super-switch-mode BEC is designed to handle true HV for all types of servos from 6V to 8.4V.

Sunpadow Platin 5400mAh & 5500mAh packs

Sunpadow have released two new Platin series LiPo batteries, which consists of a 7.4V 5500mAh ULCG battery and a 7.4V 5400mAh shorty battery. Compared to the previous gold 5300mAh and 4500mAh packs, under the same size respectively, these two new products have significantly improved discharge rate as well as capacity. The use of newly developed super conductive materials can greatly reduce the common swelling of LiPo batteries. The Platin 5500mAh ULCG battery is perfectly suitable for 1/10 TC Modified, especially on small to medium sized tracks, while the Platin 5400mAh shorty battery is suitable for F1, FWD and some 1/10 and 1/8th scale off-road applications. The new shorty pack features an increased capacity of nearly 20%, compared to its previous version, it also can be an option for some 1/8 on-road cars.

LRP’s updated brushed motor series

LRP have presented their updated brushed motor series for 2021. While the popular Crawler and Truck Puller motor types have been kept unchanged, the V10 series has been updated to the new Spec.6 and two new motors for scalers and crawlers now complete the line up. The V10 Spec.6 motors are available in five different variants, a 19×2, 17×2, 14×2, 12×2 and 10×2, and feature high-power precision winding, dual bearings, high power magnets, SMD capacitor and are fully rebuildable with adjustable timing. The other two motors are similar in features but come in 55 and 80 turn variants for the very precise throttle control needed for crawling.
