Qualification was nip and tuck with four drivers swapping places, Gary Baird, Alan Scroggie, Barkley Abernethy and Andrew McClean.

Tekin Redline Gen3 brushless motors

Available soon are Tekin’s all-new Redline Gen3 540-size electric brushless motors. The third generation Redlines are re-engineered from the ground up resulting in a smaller, lighter and faster sensored motor that also delivers smooth power across the whole RPM range. The Gen3 21.5T, 17.5T and 13.5T are available in an RPM version as well as the standard versions. Designed for applications where higher RPM is more beneficial than torque, these motors are ideal for 1/12th and touring car racing classes. The Gen3 modified group of motors are custom tuned with rotor sizes to give you the performance needed for your application. The 21.5T down to 8.5T group come standard with 12.5mm performance rotors and the 7.5T to 2.5T group are equipped with a 13mm rotor for that extra torque needed in modified racing.
