Yokomo Zero 3 brushless motor

Yokomo have updated their popular Zero line of motors with the introduction of the heavily updated Zero 3. With five different turns ranging from 8.5T to 21.5T, the lineup is suitable for any category. The motor case, which has undergone some major changes, is no longer a single piece with the new design improving heat dissipation and reducing weight to the same level as race motors. Motor timing can be adjusted up to 60 degrees to match the power feeling settings on the ESC side for a variety of output characteristics. Not only is it a sensor type motor with excellent response, but it also has a dual sensor specification that allows the sensor cable connector to be installed in two places, making it a smart addition to any machine.

Mon-tech Racing have presented their new Formula wings aimed at reproducing the 2022 F1 regulations. After almost a year of work between drawings, prototype printings and track tests, they were finally able to move to a production stage. The front wing has two different types of additional flaps and, as such, it is able to offer three distinct race trim configurations, low, medium and high downforce. The rear wing has been developed to give maximum downforce with the lowest possible drag. The new wings can be installed on any Formula car model currently on the market.
