Seen on the LRP stand at the toy fair a few weeks ago and on the motors of team drivers prior to that, LRP have released a range of aluminium plates for the LRP Vector X11 range of brushless motors. Starting with this backplate with its cool black machined aluminium look, this tuning part includes cooling fins for better heat dissipation. For the front of the motor there are a pair of cover plates that improve the cooling of the motor increasing its performance, while the design of the plates means they are lighter than the standard part. Available in 2 thicknesses, the thinner front cover moves the motor more to the centreline of the car resulting in a different weight distribution of the car.
