Some new items from Novak, the first of wich is the ultra low-resistance stator, available in three winds, 10.5T, 13.5T and 17.5T. These new stators are developed to provide maximum copper wire fill and give spec racers an edge over a standard motor. Each stator is hand-wound by Novak’s winding wizards in Irvine, California using the largest diameter, high-quality Novak Red Wire we can fit into the stator. This lowers the stator’s resistance, giving serious racers the lowest numbers possible, and the fastest speeds on the track. Novak also have a new 12.5mm high-torque neodymium tuning rotor. The 12.5mm rotor uses the same high-strength Neodymium material as the original Novak rotor with a larger diameter. It will increase the torque and improve the natural push brake and drag braking strength of the Ballistic, Club, and Velociti/SS Pro brushless motors.

JConcepts adds another top quality carbon fiber accessory to the already hefty list for the SC10 line of vehicles with the SC10 front body mount. Support of the body mass is very critical in SCT performance and shoring up the front body mount flexibility was a major focus with this new front body mount. Heavy-duty but light-weight, 3mm carbon fiber is the base of the design which follows along the geometry and stock mounting holes on the SC10 front shock tower. Recessed portions allow for the adjustable mount towers to drop straight into place and fasten with the stock socket-head hardware. Some aesthetically pleasing pockets have been machined into the face of the mount, lowering the overall weight of the part and for brand recognition.
