RMS Motor Measurement system

New from RMS is the Motor Measurement system, a device that allows you to measure the resistance of your brushless cans to give you the best combination of motor components obtain the best performance. The MMS measures the resistance of the motor winding(s) and comes ready with a 3½ digit LCD that can measure winding resistance from 0.1 to 399.9 milli ohms. Readings can be done with the motor in or out of the car or the rotor in or out of the motor and is also great for tech inspection.

LRP SXX Stock Spec BL Speed controller

LRP have introduced the new SXX Stock Spec brushless speed controller, based on the IFMAR World Championship winning SXX TC Spec with new developments specifically for stock-spec racing. Featuring dual ADPC max software, this allows independent adjustment of ‘Feel’ and ‘Boost’ for maximum flexibility and high power, while a twin BEC ensures constant 6V/3A output with 3.0V to 7.4V batteries meaning there is no need for a receiver battery for 1S LiPo or 4-cell NiMH Batteries. A revolutionary internal temp check system allows you to read the maximum internal temperature for both the speed control and motor while the AutoCell system is a fully adjustable cut-off system for all types of cells.

LRP Vector X12 Octa-Wind BL motors

LRP have introduced the 2nd generation of their XTEC X12 technology, which feature an 8 time (Octa) winding instead of the previous 4 time winding, the effect is a different power characteristic resulting in much higher performance. The LRP R&D team has increased the number of copper wires used in the motor, resulting in lower resistance and thanks to the lower heat development of the octa wind less energy is lost resulting in higher efficiency. The end result is more power.
