SkyRC FuriaX Hyper Agile Motor

Following the release of their FuriaX Supa Agile motor, SkyRC introduces the FuriaX Hyper Agile 1:10 sensored brushless motor engineered specifically for RC drifting, where rhythm, precision, and thermal stability matter as much as raw power. Available in 10.5T for punch or 13.5T for flow, Hyper Agile shares the same performance DNA across both options—different feel, the same precision. Its sensored architecture delivers smooth, predictable throttle response, while built-in rear active air cooling and a bottom-mounted fan manage heat during long, high-load drift sessions. With wide 3.5V–9V operation, coordinated cooling for both motor and ESC via the included Y-cable, and dual-orientation gold-plated terminals for flexible wiring, Hyper Agile stays consistent run after run giving drivers the confidence to push further without losing feel.

Takashima D-13 SkyRC Tyre Warmer Portable Case

Building on its previously successful 3D printed accessories, Takashima D-13 has released a new portable case designed for the latest SkyRC tyre warmer. The case allows drivers to mount an external battery directly inside the tire warmer housing, making it possible to carry the tire warmer and chassis together with one hand when moving from the pit table to the track, while maintaining tire temperature. A distinctive diamond-pattern surface with 90-degree indexed flat faces allows the chassis to be placed either lengthwise or sideways, helping with efficient pit table organisation. The package also includes a DC power cable for connecting an external power supply to the tire warmer, addressing an item not supplied with the original SkyRC unit.

With the Top 3 finishing on the same lap, Canas’s took the win by 9-seconds from an impressive Polito with Ongaro a further 7-seconds back. Behind, Figueiredo, Sparko’s Adrian Pariente, and Sworkz’s Elliott Boots completed the Top 6.
