Muchmore Fleta ZX V2 Spectre 25.5T brushless motor

Muchmore Racing have announced the release of their Fleta ZX V2 Spectre 25.5T outlaw brushless motor. Designed to produce maximum performance the motor is not ROAR or EFRA legal, however it can be used in so called “outlaw” classes that only restrict winding numbers. A patented rotor design along with a short stack equates to 35 percent more power compared to traditional stock motors while the overall design of the motor greatly reduces the internal resistance. The motor utilises a titanium shaft 12.3×5.0×24.2Z rotor, grade 5 ball bearings, and an aluminium lightweight end plate to further help with cooling.

Yokomo 1/12th scale direct drive diff lock rings

Yokomo have introduced direct drive diff lock rings for Yokomo and Team Associated 1/12th scale pan cars. The composite rings allow to convert a ball differential into a spool axle, a setup that is very popular when running on high to very high bite surfaces such as CRC black carpet. The rings are run instead of the diff plates and ball and they interlock with the spur gear, making for a solid axle with no differential action. The plates are available for Yokomo kits, fitting the YRX-12 and YR-10F cars, and they also come as Team Associated compatible variant.

Officially licensed, it comes equipped with a 3S LiPo-compatible Dynamite 3800kV brushless power system, as well as a solid rear axle, independent front suspension, and roll cage with upright shocks, so owners can tear across all types of rocky off-road terrain.
