Power HD black colour Storm-7 low-profile servo

Coming from Power HD is the new black colour Storm-7 low-profile servo. With a speed of down to 0.055s and a torque of up to 13kg-cm it offers the same specification as the old purple-cased servo with the new all-black colour making it better suited for vehicles that already offer a splash of colour. With its brushless motor and high-voltage compatibility it is ideal for the use in electric and nitro touring cars as well as electric buggies.

Radtec BD8 0 degree alloy C-hubs & 41.1mm drive shafts

Coming from Radtec and made for the Yokomo BD8 touring car are a 0 degree C-hub set and a pair of 41.1mm steel double joint drive shafts. Starting with the C-hubs, the parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they are a direct fit on the ARS rear suspension. Due to using alloy over composite material the overall stiffness and stability is greatly improved which results in increased traction and better drivability on high-traction surfaces. The hubs come black anodised and with silver edge details for looks. Also new is a set of 41.1mm front Premium spring steel drive shafts. They are of a double joint design, use lightweight centre couplers and they are a direct replacement for the stock parts.

Trion V2 modified brushless motors

Japanese brand Trion have introduced their new V2 series 540-size sensored electric brushless motor. The power plant is of a new design that revolves around a high-airflow can with huge cooling openings around the front section while machined openings in the stator area further increase the airflow in this area. This leads to a much cooler motor towards the end of a run and thus reduced fading and more stable performance. An updated stator further adds to the overall performance with increased torque and reduced heat build-up. The motor is rounded out by a new rotor and available from now on in a 5.0T touring and a 6.5T off-road variant with additional 4.5T to 8.5T variants coming later in July.
