JConcepts motor & rotor storage box

JConcepts has reached into their bag of tricks to help racer organisation with the introduction of their new motor and rotor storage box. The box includes plenty of space for assembled motors, individually spaced rotors and a pocket for miscellaneous motor tuning items. The box has a small footprint which makes it ideal for short trips with minimal amounts of space. Inside the box is roomy enough for three assembled motors and cushioned with high-impact foam that allow the items to lay in a bed like a cradle during rest periods. At the other end, five areas can house rotors and the pocket at the end gives all-important extra storage. The foam insert material has a grabby feel and allows the user to manipulate to grab needed items. The custom built storage box, moulded black in colour has JConcepts.net logo for authenticity and built-in plastic latch for easy open and close operation.

Fantom Icon Pro Modified & Pro Spec motors

Coming soon from Fantom Racing are their new Icon Pro Modified and Pro Spec electric brushless motors. The heart of the motors are the patented design stator and patent pending tuning pins with the two features promising greatly improved performance in terms of torque and RPM. The stator provides maximum torque and RPM while the tuning pins eliminate the need for stator screws while allowing to fine-tune RPM vs. torque. The motor is available in the most coming modified and stock windings and it is widely factory-tuneable in terms of rotors, bearings and other options.

R1 Wurks V21 brushless stock motors

R1 Wurks have introduced their new V21 brushless stock motors. Improved in three key points over the V16, the Version 21 offers further increased speed, optimised cooling and better tuning, meaning owners can extract more performance from the motor in a broader range of both gearing and timing. The stator is built from proprietary R1 laminate material, the end wind is epoxy-bonded and an ultra-low resistance collector ring is used, all resulting in improved punch and top speed. Included with the motor, that is available in 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T variants, comes an aluminium timing ring.
