R1 Wurks Volta line of motors

R1 Wurks have announced their all new Volta line of motors. The Volta motors lines up right next to their proven V21-S with 13.5, 17.5, 21.5 and 25.5 turn options. This motor produces a ton of punch, mid range and top end and its sleek can design is made for maximum cooling characteristics which helps with this motors efficiency during the longer runs. When testing these Volta Motors with team drivers, they were jumping triples that nobody else could consistently with minimal fade during the run. These motors come with the all new Volta long rotor for maximum torque/overall performance out of the box, no need for any upgrades.

R1 Wurks AXXISS DC1 B6 conversion

R1 Wurks have introduced their AXXISS DC1 B6/.1/.2/.3 drag conversion. This is a prototype of their upcoming chassis that has been developed and tested by team drivers over the past 6 months. With that in mind this kit will be utilising Industrial 3d printed parts with MJP, SLS processes. This kit will require a donor Team Associated B6 or any variety of the B6 Chassis and modifying of suspension components may be required on earlier B6 Chassis. The set will include the AXXISS DC1 carbon fibre chassis, battery mount with rubber bands & holder, servo mount, servo horn, anti-bump steer plate, front knuckles, carbon fibre front suspension riser plates, electronics mounting plates, motor mount/rear differential riser and finally the wheelie bar mount.

R1 Wurks low profile digital drive servo Gen2

R1 Wurks have released Gen2 of their low profile digital drive servo. With an input voltage of 4V to 8.4V it can be used across a multitude of platforms. Featuring a super smooth coreless motor and enhanced servo centring technology, this makes for a high speed and high torque servo (14kg at 6V / 17.5kg at 7.4V). Set inside a lightweight aluminium case with all metal gears, this version comes with a 80mm short wire for tidy installation.

R1 Wurks Mega & Micro capacitor for Digital 3 ESC

R1 Wurks introduce their new line of Mega and Micro capacitor for the Digital 3 ESC. The Mega cap was designed to maximise the performance of the Digital 3 ESC with more than 30x the capacity of the built in capacitors while delivering ultra low ESR performance. This means that these capacitors respond to the ESC ripple current faster for better overall performance. Our 60 grams Mega cap also balances the side by side weight of the ESC, while sitting on the same footprint. This acts as a balancing ballast next to the Digital-3. This means you can also optimise the side by side weight balance, for harder launches. The 30 grams Mega capacitor fills in the gap for space constrained setups. The 30 grams Mega capacitor delivers maximum capacity on a smaller footprint, low ESR and unrivalled performance to weight ratio. The Micro capacitor is an excellent improvement over the stock Digital-3 capacitor, this is a smaller footprint, lower profile and delivering 3x the capacity of the built in Digital 3 capacitor. All the new capacitors will ship with a custom built cradle made of carbon fibre nylon filament and 3M very high bond tape.

R1 Wurks 10000mAh LiPo battery

R1 Wurks have released this 10,000mAh 130C 2S Graphene battery. Aimed at those needing the absolute highest power, this pack is focussed towards the drag racing segment where the high capacity equates to lower voltage drop under load. This in turn allows you to cool down and do multiple runs and expect close to consistent times.

R1 Wurks V16 Drag Racing Tuned 3.5T & 4.5T motors

Coming from R1 Wurks are their new V16 Drag Racing Tuned 4.5T 7500kv & 3.5T 9000kv motors. For the past few months, R1 Wurks been testing and gathering datalogs using their Digital 3 ESC, from some of the fastest RC drag racers around the U.S.. That amount of data allowed the company to understand the need for efficient power conversion, with the goal of generating the most power while controlling the amp draw to a minimum. With that goal in mind, R1 Wurkd created a line of custom built motors set for different budgets to make the most bang for the buck. Our base tune starts with the Drag Racing Tuned variant and upgrades go all the way up to the All Out Build. The full build comes with winding resistance measurements, rotor magnetic data sheet, sensor alignment, hand picked stator, full titanium screw kit pro installed and the gold standard in ceramic bearings, all pro installed. Other builds include hand-picked stators, aligned sensors and hand-picked stators, as well as aligned sensors, hand-picked stators and titanium screw kits. Full details can be found on R1 Wurks’ website here.

R1 Wurks V21 6-piece titanium screw kit

Coming from R1 Wurks is their new 6-piece full titanium screw kit for the V21 13.5T to 21.5T stock motors. The set includes three silver Grade 5 thread-rolled premium titanium can screws and three titanium timing screws that reduce overall weight while increasing overall RPM due to not interfering with the motor’s magnetic field. The set fits the R1 Wurks V21 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T motor, however it doesn’t fit the V21 25.5T motors. The titanium can screws are also available separately.
