PSM R6 battery positioning system

PSM have introduced a O-ring retained battery positioning system for the Team Associated R6 1/12th scale pan car. It was designed to hold the battery securely in place while maintaining the option to move it forward and backwards using a set of adjustable carbon fibre brackets that hold the battery in place. In addition PSM have added the possibility to hold the battery down with the included O-ring to make battery changes a lot easier. Because of its special design, the retaining system will not affect the chassis flex at all and it is manufactured from high quality carbon fibre, comes included all necessary hardware and adds only 7g of weight.

Reds Racing VX2 540-size brushless motor

Reds Racing have introduced their new VX2 540-size brushless motor line. With a new low internal resistance design the motor offers improved performance and efficiency while the new high airflow can enhances cooling efficiency by 20 percent compared to the 1st generation motor. The new high power stator does away with a separate insulator which reduces weight and improves cooling while pure copper wires and low resistance collector rings guarantee a maximum in power and RPM. The motor complies with IFMAR, ROAR, BRCA and JMRCA rules and it is available in 5.5T to 8.5T modified as well as 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T and 25.5T stock windings.

Muchmore Fleta ZX V2 Specter outlaw stock motor

Muchmore have introduced their new Fleta ZX V2 Specter brushless outlaw stock motor. It builds on the proven ZX V2 setup but features a special short stack stator for reduced internal resistance and a sintered rotor with the combination of both being good for up to 35 percent more power output compared to traditional stock motors while delivering a maximum in terms of RPM and torque. In addition the 12.3×5.0×24.2Z MR-FZR27TiZ rotor with titanium shaft makes for a lower rotation mass, resulting in razor-sharp throttle response. Other features include Grade 5 ball bearings, an aluminium endplate for improved heat dissipation as well as silver-plated solder tabs. The motor does not comply with ROAR and EFRA rules and is available in 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T windings.
