Carson Dragster Brushless sets Categories - Carson, Controllers, Motors, Electric, Products - comments closed 
Carson have released a number of new brushless motor and speed controller sets for both 1/10th and micro scales. For touring and off road there are 2 sets, with either a 10T and 12T BL motor combined with the Dragster Cup or Dragster Sport system that both provide high torque, acceleration and top speed. The Dragster Cup ESC works with sensorless 12 an 8 turn brushless motors, while the Dragster Sport ESC can handle sensorless 10 an 8 turn brushless motors. For your micro chassis the Dragster Micro set provides high torque and a sensitive brushless speed control specifically designed for the use in 1:18 and 1:16 scale Micro RC cars like the Tamiya TamTech-Gear (chassis GT-01 & GB-01), Xray M18 and more.

LRP Vector X11 Front & Back plates Categories - LRP, Motors, Electric, Accessories, Products - comments closed 
Seen on the LRP stand at the toy fair a few weeks ago and on the motors of team drivers prior to that, LRP have released a range of aluminium plates for the LRP Vector X11 range of brushless motors. Starting with this backplate with its cool black machined aluminium look, this tuning part includes cooling fins for better heat dissipation. For the front of the motor there are a pair of cover plates that improve the cooling of the motor increasing its performance, while the design of the plates means they are lighter than the standard part. Available in 2 thicknesses, the thinner front cover moves the motor more to the centreline of the car resulting in a different weight distribution of the car.

K-Factory TC2 Motor Cooling set Categories - K-Factory, Motors, Electric, Accessories, Products - comments closed 
More new items from K-Factory who have released the TC 2 motor cooling head & fan set. This is very similar to K-Factory’s TC motor cooling head we wrote about previously but it has four small screw holes in it. The addition of these screw holes allows you to install one or even two fans on top of the heat sink to blow cold air directly down onto your motor. This set comes supplied with the cooling head, 1 x fan, screws and a thermal pad.
