Ellis Stafford joins Vampire Racing

Vampire Racing is proud to announce the signing of two-times 1/10 scale 4WD EFRA European and multiple British Champion Ellis Stafford to run Vampire Racing batteries, brushless motors and controllers in 2013 and 2014. Ellis will also use the upcoming Vampire Racing high performance servos that will be released very soon. This is what Ellis has to say about the deal.

Having nearly joined Vampire 2 years ago when they were very new to the racing scene I had kept a keen eye on the products and remained in touch with Sven over that time as well. The eagerness that Sven and Vampire have to provide top quality products to all levels and the speed at which they have levelled to the well established companies go to show the drive within the company, I’m really looking forward to the coming years with helping produce the best products and also showing just want Vampire products can do on track.

The motor features a double balanced rotor, TIN coated magnet, black coated rotor shaft, better magnet material which can resist higher temperatures and a stronger can to absorb also the heaviest impacts.

Vampire Racing stick pack LiPo batteries

For 2012 Vampire Racing took another step forward and introduced two new stick pack LiPo batteries. The first one, specifically designed for touring cars, is a 6800mAh 70C pack and will pump out massive power. The second battery is a 4400mAh 50C short stick pack. The slightly lower C rating and the shorter hard case is the ultimate combination for your 2wd car allowing you achieve the ultimate setup balance with the variability of the shorter case.
