Reedy Sonic 540-M3 competition brushless motors

Reedy have introduced the new Sonic 540-M3 540-size competition brushless motors. On the outside, the 540-M3 appears very similar to the Mach 2, but look closely nothing has been carried over from the previous model. A 3-piece CNC machined can reduces weight while improving airflow, component fit, and bearing alignment. Heavy-duty silver-plated solder tabs are not only thicker to reduce resistance, but are also cupped to aid soldering, and well supported to prevent internal connections from fatiguing over time. Inside the motors feature an all-new stator design, pure copper magnet wire, and low-resistance collector rings. Available short-stack 17.5 and 13.5 versions suit 1S-powered pan cars and under the right circumstances can create a power advantage in 2S-powered buggies, trucks, and touring cars while the modified variants offer a new stator design which improves mid-range feel. A balanced, high-strength sintered rotor provides powerful, fade-free performance thanks to improved manufacturing processes. To fine-tune for specific applications and tracks, a variety of optional rotors are available. Lastly, larger precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to accommodate high RPM loads with improved reliability. Several versions, from 3.5T to 9.5T modified and 10.5T to 25.5T, are available and all meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

Reedy low-profile connectors & 13-gauge silicone wire

Team Associated have introduced the new Reedy 13-gauge Pro silicone wire and low-profile caged bullet-type connectors. Starting with the connectors, they feature a flat top for easy soldering and a versatile caged design that easily adapts to the slight variation in socket sizes found among different battery types and manufacturers. A snug fit and silver plating means less power loss due to resistance while 14mm length makes them a suitable for use with most socket style batteries. The connectors are available in 4mm and 5mm variants and in 2-piece or 10-piece packages. The new 13-gauge Pro silicone wire is a pure copper and pre-tinned variant for easy soldering. A heavy-duty silicone insulation protects the wire from cuts while maintaining maximum flexibility. The special diameter makes it usable for both on-road and off-road applications as it offers the best compromise between resistance and weight. The wire is available in 1m or 30m coils.
