Reds Racing VX 540 17.5T high torque brushless motor

Coming from Reds Racing is the new VX540 17.5T high torque electric brushless motor. Complementing the already existing 13.5T and 21.5T high torque variants, the motor offers a precision-machined 6061-T6 high airflow can, a balanced sintered rotor as well as low resistance solder tabs. The specially tuned motor will offer increased low-RPM torque while maintaining unchanged top speed, making it ideal for tracks that requires both lots of bottom end power and speed.

SkyRC D100 V2 AC/DC multi-chemistry charger

SkyRC have introduced their new D100 V2 AC/DC multi-chemistry charger. The device offers dual output channels, a USB output, and a 13.8V 100 watts power supply, making it usable with up to 6S LiXX batteries or up to 15-cell NiXX packs. With its internal power supply the charger is able to power additional DC devices while Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity allows to remote control and monitor the charger using iOS or Android mobile devices. Another new feature to the D100 V2 is the Scan to Go function. With a QR code generated by SkyRC’s SkyCharger app and attached to the respective battery the charger will start charging or discharging automatically once the QR code is scanned with a mobile device. The function will prevent the use of wrong charge modes or parameters. The features are rounded out by a back-lit display and temperature-controlled fan units.

RPM DEX8T & Kraton rear A-arms

Coming from RPM and made for the Team Durango DEX8T and Arrma Kraton line of off-road trucks are rear A-arms and mud guards. Starting with the A-arms, the parts are moulded from RPM’s renown nylon compound for rigidity while the design also eliminates slop as the parts reduce the amount of movement of the A-arm at the hinge pins, providing for better suspension response and more consistent suspension settings. The next improvement is the addition of a second shock mount hole further out on the arm, providing for a lower profile suspension set-up. This second shock mount allows the shocks to lay down further and lowers the ride height for a lower centre of gravity. This second shock mount matches the additional shock mount hole on RPM’s DEX8T/Arrma front A-arms. On top of this the arms are about ten percent lighter while also allowing to attach RPM’s optional mud guards. The arms are sold in pairs, they replace the stock Arrma AR330249 and stock Team Durango TD330707 parts and Team Durango’s stock mud guards are not compatible with these A-arms.

LRP tease X22 540-size brushless motors

LRP have released first information on their forthcoming X22 electric brushless motors. Follow-up model of the successful X20 series, that has won three World Championships, multiple European and National as well as ETS and EOS titles, the motors will sport an updated, ultra-lightweight and precision machined 7075-T6 aluminium housing with maximised cut-outs and additional openings on the flat parts to further increase the cooling surface and lower the running temperatures due to improved airflow even at maximum loads. The most noticeable change has been made at the surface of the housing. The X22 comes with the “dark shine black” anodising with X22 engraving that will make it stand out in every chassis.

Avid carbon fibre dogbone servo mount spacers

Avid have introduced their new dogbone-shaped carbon fibre servo mount spacers. They come in two thicknesses of 1.5mm or 2.5mm and provide the servo with a rigid mounting surface to ensure that the servo stays tight and the screws do not loosen as the plastic shims compress over time. The spaces can also be used to shift weight around by moving a servo forward or even up in 8th scale vehicles. The spacers come in sets of two in either 1.5mm or 2.5mm thickness.
