Xpress Execute XQ1 electric touring car kit

Following month of development and the release of several teaser images, Xpress have now officially announced the release of the Execute XQ1 1/10th 4WD electric touring car kit. The car is based on a carbon fibre double deck chassis assembly and features new design 1-piece lower front and rear bulkheads as well as 1-piece bulkhead covers to do away with tweak issues associated with multi-piece designs. Machined slots in the chassis and shock towers ensure perfect alignment and the 2-tone colour finish of the parts let the car stand out. Other features include bearing-supported anti-roll bars for smooth operation, low-profile shock absorbers and shock towers for a low centre of gravity and marked spring pre-load nuts ensure swift and easy ride height adjustment. The kit is rounded out by aluminium suspension mounts with composite inserts for convenient suspension geometry changes.

Reedy 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor

Reedy have introduced their new 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor for 1/10th scale 4WD RTR vehicles. Due to its sensorless 4-pole configuration, the motor operates powerfully, efficiently, and reliably in a variety of vehicles and applications. The 3500kV rating provides plenty of speed with 2S LiPo batteries but installing a 3S LiPo battery for even greater speeds is also possible. A high-strength rotor provides plenty of torque and resists overheating better than 2-pole alternatives. The motor comes pre-wired with flexible silicone wires and 3.5mm bullet connectors to reduce power-robbing resistance and heat. Triple insulated windings, a hardened 5mm steel shaft, and oversized ball bearings that enhance reliability round out the package.
