Elliott Harper has announced a continuation and expansion of his deal with GForce into 2015 and beyond. The British driver, a Worlds, Euros and ETS Podium Finisher, had been using GForce accessories during 2014, but will now run the complete line of products including the GForce TS160 Speed Controller and Super Sonic line of GForce motors. Elliott had the following to say:
Firstly, I would like to thank Frankie, Andreas and everyone at ORCA for their help and support whilst representing the brand throughout the past two years. I have been really impressed with the GForce accessories I’ve used during 2014, and so made the decision to use their full range of products in 2015 and beyond. I’m looking forward to working with the whole GForce family and running the new TS160 Competition Speed Controller and Super Sonic line of brushless motors. Thank you to Chang for giving me this opportunity and I can’t wait for the coming races, especially since winning on my first outing with the full GForce range last weekend!
Coming soon from GForce is the Rev Limiter module to limit the maximum RPM of electric brushless motors. Looped between the motor, controller and receiver the device limits the maximum RPM of sensored brushless motors in four steps between 10,000 and 17,000 RPM. Micro switches and status LEDs help to check the setting, making the module ideal to equalise the performance of brushless motors for entry level and stock racing classes. The 2S LiPo-compatible Rev Limiter comes in a lightweight case, it measures 22x15x10mm and comes pre-wired with universal connectors and including a sensor wire.

Available soon from GForce is the Spring Rate Gauge for precise spring hardness measurement. Housed in a sturdy aluminium case the device measures the spring rate of shock absorber springs of up to 95mm length. The result is displayed on a 4-digit display and helps to compare and select springs for a more precise shock setup. The gauge is available in black and blue colour and powered by a 6-15V DC power source.
