Reedy Sonic 540-M3 10.5T & 21.5T short stack motors

Reedy’s Sonic 540-M3 brushless motors are now also available in short stack 10.5T and 21.5T variants. A competition-proven short stack stator, wound with pure copper magnet wire and low-resistance collector rings, walks the edge of legality in exchange for maximum power output and RPM. Despite being designed for 1S applications, short stack motors can, under the right circumstances, create a power advantage in 2S applications such as Formula and 4WD GT classes. Like all 540-M3 motors, these new models feature a three-piece, CNC-machined can to reduce weight while improving airflow, component fit, and bearing alignment. Heavy-duty silver-plated solder tabs reduce resistance, feature a cupped profile to aid soldering, and are well supported to prevent internal connections from fatiguing over time. A balanced, high-strength sintered rotor provides fade-free performance thanks to improved manufacturing processes. Both models meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

HB D216 1/10th 2WD buggy kit

HPI Racing have released first official images of their forthcoming D216 1/10th scale 2WD buggy kit. Sharing many of its details with the ROAR championship winning D413 4WD buggy, including the triangulated shock towers and 12mm Big Bore V2 shocks, the new D216 machine has many of its own aspects. The narrow carbon fibre chassis allows to mount the battery pack in a transversal or longitudinal position and the mid-motor-only design makes for a nimble handling with maximum steering and rear traction. The carbon fibre battery strap and its orange anodised aluminium brace add additional stiffness to the rear of the chassis and the very distinctive mid-mounted transmission encloses a 3-gear transmission for the most efficient drivetrain possible, fitted with an externally adjustable 3-plate, large diameter slipper clutch. The high volume gear differential is easy to remove from the transmission case for tuning, and can be replaced with an optional ball diff if needed.
