…motor’s performance and power dramatically. Compared to the G4, the G4R shows confirmed improvements in overall speed by up to 5% while the output power is increased by nearly 4%. The G4R 13.5 shows 7% more speed, and 9% more power, under the same test loads as popular non Hobbywing motors. The new G4R stator and winding design reduces the overall internal resistance, while maintaining the requirements for sanctioning spec class rules. The improved motor efficiency reduces the temperature rise to keep internal resistance numbers consistent. The internal resistance is about 3% lower than that of G4.

…since the first months of activity (www.nova-engines.com). In short, the origin starts with the decision of Novarossi’s owners to permanently close the micromotor production activity, a decision made when the liquidation phase began two years ago. That decision effectively resulted in the dismissal of all workers, the sale of all machinery and the closure of the company. At that point, a group of former workers and collaborators decided to start an ambitious and courageous project: the establishment of a new production reality in the field of micromotors and precision mechanics.
