Fantom Facts Machine 3S BL motor testing tool

Fantom Racing have introduced their latest motor testing tool, the Facts Machine 3S precision resistance and inductance meter. The device allows to test both the resistance and inductance of brushless motors, information that is critical to estimate the performance capability of brushless motors. The general rule of thumb is the combination of the lowest resistance and highest inductance produces the highest performance for RC motors, and the difference between these two numbers we call the “spread”. Typically, the bigger the spread, the better the motor will perform. The motor tester is not mass produced, but rather is hand-built one at a time, in the U.S.A., to the highest standards in the R/C industry. The Facts Machine 3S calibration is double checked for the highest accuracy possible, using five percent tolerance resistors and inductors. The compact device comes in a sturdy, foam padded storage box and it is available now.

HB Racing D418 4WD buggy kit

Following a couple of teaser images released back in April, HB Racing has now officially introduced the new D418 1/10th 4WD buggy kit. The Torrance Deguzman designed D418 builds on the success of the D413, adding features optimised for the new breed of high grip racetracks around the world. New is an aluminium chassis with raised side guards, similar to the successful 1/8th D817 buggy. The aluminium chassis adds durability, lowers the centre of gravity, dissipates motor heat, and helps dampen high frequency vibration. New moulded nylon side guards help keep out dirt, and the side plates are now used to mount the body, eliminating the need for body posts and body pins. The chassis layout has been refined, taking cues from the successful E817 buggy, The D418 is optimised for the latest rules and LiPo and brushless equipment.
