Team Orion Vortex Experience & Micro BL

We already showed you the first pic of the production version of the Vortex Race BL motor last week and now we have some more first images from Team Orion. Pictured above is the final production version of the Vortex Experience Touring Combo, developed for those who are not yet wanting to invest in race or sensored systems but would still like race winning performance. Supplied with a sensorless speed controller, the motor features a centre barrel of real carbon fibre to create a tuned magnetic field, making the Experience the optimum solution for those with brushless RTR’s that wish to take it to the next level. Also new is the Vortex Micro 1/18 BL motor, for 1/18th scale vehicles to achieve new levels of tuning and performance that their 1/10th big brothers currently have.

Team Associated Factory Team TC5R

Another car based on their successful Factory Team TC5, Team Associated have also released the TC5R, an electric touring car chassis that has been optimized for lower traction, rubber tire racing. The components that make up the TC5R have the desired attributes that are sought after for indoor and/or outdoor racing with rubber tires, making the TC5R an even more lethal racing machine. The TC5R starts with a full ball bearing, dual belt-drive system that transfers all the power from the motor smoothlyand efficiently. With today’s motors and batteries delivering more power than ever before, the belt-drive system gives the TC5R a very predictable throttle response and feel, making it easier to drive fast and carry more speed through the corners. The blue aluminum ball differentials are super light for reduced rotational mass. Reducing the weight of the diffs lets the TC5R accelerate harder out of the corners. Hardened-steel CVAs with cross-pin retaining clips and blue aluminum clamping wheel hexes offer reliable service getting all the power to the wheels.

Novak HV BL Motor with 5mm Shaft

Novak have released some additions to their range of HV High Voltage brushless motors, with the introduction of these 5mm shaft versions. These 550-size sensored brushless motors are available in four motor winds 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5, and include a Sintered rotor with a rugged 5mm output shaft. The HV Series is ideal for monster trucks, converted electric 1/8-scale vehicles and vehicles requiring massive power output. Additionally, the motors are sensor-based, so they always know the position of the rotor, which provides excellent starting torque and continuous synchronization for smooth, controlled low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. The HV-Series of motors also features a shielded sensor cable with sheathed sensor wires and a completely rebuildable design.

Trinity .24 Truggy motor

Team Trinity have announced the first details about their truggy specific motor, a .24 that places it right in between a .21 and a .28. Featuring a square stroke, this configuration was chosen to give an optimum blend of torque and speed, instead of having to choose for one of the 2. Still in development, more information will be available in the future.
