Rêve D Absolute 1 brushless drift car motor

Following a first teaser image Rêve D from Japan have announced the soon release of their all-new Absolute 1 brushless drift car motor. Developed for the use in high-grip drift car racing, the motor uses an all-aluminium high airflow can for best possible heat dissipation while the setup ensures high top RPM without sacrificing high torque characteristics and a linear throttle feel which is important for racing on P-tile, asphalt and carpet surfaces. The motor will become available in a 10.5T and a 13.5T variant from mid to end of March.

Castle Creations 2028 Extreme 800kV sensored BL motor

Castle Creations have introduced their new 2028 Extreme 800kV sensored brushless motor for large scale applications. The 4-pole 12-slot motor is of an updated design for improved efficiency and less heat build-up. Running modes include sensored and an ultra-efficient sensorless mode and high-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with high-strength Kevlar wrap ensure the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions. In addition do oversized NMB bearings and a vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible. Castle’s proprietary winding techniques also allow to produce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance, resulting in a cooler running motor and dual sensor ports ensure optimal installation in pretty much every large-scale vehicle such as the Losi 5ive-T, 5ive-B or DBXL-E.

STRC Limitless/Infraction graphite shock towers

ST Racing Concepts have introduced their new 5mm graphite front and rear shock towers for the Arrma Limitless and Infraction speed bash vehicles. The machined shock stays helps reduce the car’s overall weight while improving the rigidity of the front and rear suspension. In addition the carbon fibre parts add great factory looks overall to the main chassis. The towers are available separately or as combo pack.

Arrma dBoots Hoons optional compound tyres

Arrma have introduced optional rubber compounds for their dBoots Hoons 42/100-2.9 tyres. Designed for the use with the company’s Infraction and Limitless speed bash vehicles, the range now also includes the hard silver and soft gold compound tyres that add to the already existing white rubber compound. Having an impact on overall grip and tyre life the different hardness tyres can also be used to adjust the overall speed available with the hard compound silver rubber offering the most amount of straight line speed followed by white and gold. The tyres are supplied pre-glued on black 5-spoke 17mm hex rims, their are colour-coded for easy identification and come as pairs.

Kyosho V-One R4 Evo.2 alloy driveshaft set

Coming from Kyosho and made for their V-One R4 Evo.2 1/10th scale 200m nitro on-road kit is an all-aluminium driveshaft set. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming with a clear surface coating the alloy parts will greatly lower the overall weight and also the rotating masses, allowing for quicker spool-up and acceleration. The wheel axles feature several location holes for the cross pins, allowing to rebuild them a couple of time before they need to be swapped for new parts.

Smokem Racing T4’20 MYD carbon fibre top deck

Following the release of Smokem Racing’s MYD top deck for the ARC R11 MID comes a design to suit the Xray T4 2020. The top deck is of a design that features a narrow 9mm front section which was found to deliver balanced flex characteristics despite the asymmetric design. The result is improved traction, increased in-corner steering and corner speed. The MYD design ensures the top deck will never make contact with the motor as the chassis flexes, with clearance for large-pinioned spec class gearing. The MYD top deck can also be easily removed, making spur gear and belt changes a breeze. The part is machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre and it is a direct fit.

RC Maker T4’20 carbon fibre floating electronics plate

RC Maker have introduced their Xray T4 2020 floating electronics weight plate in a carbon fibre variant. Weighing in at 12g for the set, 10g of that being close to the centre of the chassis with 2g being the carbon plate, the set is adding minimal weight to the motor side of the chassis. The plate attaches to the often unused antenna mount hole but if owners still want to use this antenna mount, they can use an extra long screw through the lower weight, and thread the antenna mount on-top. Another added bonus is that the construction makes it easy to change chassis or clean the car as the receiver, transponder and fan are simply extracted by undoing one screw.

Ruddog RP541 540 sensored brushless motor

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have announced the release of their all-new RP541 540-size sensored high-performance brushless motor. Designed and engineered in Germany the motor utilises a completely new design with a lightweight aluminium can ensuring a low weight of only around 153g while the new slotless stack design ensures increased performance and efficiency due to the lack of performance-killing milling for the long motor can mounting screws. This was made possible by using a new can design with a 1-piece front section and a short rear can that uses vertical mounting screws. Also new for the RP541 is a machined collector ring that comes silver-plated for the modified variants while the stock motor specific ring is gold-plated for an even lower internal resistance. Other differences between the stock and modified motors include performance enhancing ceramic ball races for the stock motor while the modified motor is equipped with high-qualify steel ball bearings. Part of the package are also optimised magnets that are able to withstand higher temperatures for longer, ensuring less power fading during a run while increasing overall durability. The magnets are also optimised for the RP541’s new slotless stack design. The motors are rounded out by new low-resistance solder tabs and a flat 150mm sensor wire and they are available as 4.5T to 9.5T modified, 6.5T 1S 1/12th scale modified as well as 10.5T to 21.5T stock variants.
