Hobbywing V10 G3 titanium-bonded rotors

Hobbywing have introduced two new titanium-bonded rotors for the V10 G3 series of brushless motors. The characteristic of the rotors will provide a smoother pickup acceleration without sacrificing top speed. This will help to tune motors especially to lower grip asphalt and carpet conditions as it aids car control out of tight corners. Available variants are a 5-12.5 and 5-12.3 that come individually marked for easy identification.

Hobbywing XeRun Justock 3650 SD G2.1 stock motor

Hobbywing have announced the soon release of their new XeRun Justock 3650 SD G2.1 electric brushless stock motors. The new generation utilises an updated can that is made of high-quality aluminium for a lower weight with two X-shaped openings further reducing weight while ensuring good heat dissipation. The built-in sensor and fixed timing endbell along with the balanced high-precision rotor ensure smooth and linear power supply and pre-shaped heavy-duty solder tabs make wiring easy and reliable. The motor is build to meet EFRA and ROAR rules and it is available in all popular stock windings from 10.5T up to 25.5T.

Hiro Seiko XeRun V10 G3 lightweight screw kit

Hiro Seiko have introduced their new lightweight screw kit for the Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 brushless motor. The set includes three M2x43mm titanium screws and a single M2.4x5mm fastener, the latter being available in a multitude of colours including orange, red, gun metal, dark blue, bright blue and purple. While adding a certain bling to the motor the set will lower the overall weight while, most importantly, it will allow the motor to rev higher and perform better as the fasteners will have no magnetic influence on the rotor which will result in a more agile behaviour.

Hobbywing XeRun Axe brushless power system

Hobbywing have introduced their new XeRun series Axe brushless power system for crawlers and trail trucks. Featuring the new FOC Field-oriented Control technology, that is understood to match the motor RPM with the throttle position, the system allows for greatly improved car control especially on downhill sections while making the system more silent, higher performing and more reliable. The motor, with a newly developed staggered pole design, ensures consistent deceleration, smoother power supply, smoother brake control and an overall greatly improved throttle feeling. The whole system is IP-67 waterproof for go-everywhere capabilities right out of the package and the controller is programmable using Hobbywing’s iOS or Android apps and using the speedo’s build-in Bluetooth module.
