Hobbywing QuicRun Fusion BL crawler system

Coming from Hobbywing is their new QuicRun Fusion BL integrated speed controller 540-class motor for crawlers and trail trucks. The system combines a powerful 540-class brushless motor and with a multi-functional speed controller system in a single housing, ensuring a low weight and compact design. A selectable, intelligent torque and RPM control system maintains the torque and RPM level of the vehicle uphill, downhill, under load and in virtually every other condition, making vehicle control a lot simpler even in challenging terrains. The FOC Field-oriented Control system provided exceptional low-speed torque and control while ensuring super-silent motor action. In addition the system is IP-67 water and dust-proof for go-everywhere capabilities. Drag and parking brake functions as well as an electronic switch add to the impressive features list. The motor and speedo system is usable for most 1/10th scale crawlers and trail truck that accept 64mm long 36mm diameter motors and it is available in 1200kV and 1800kV variants.

Revtech XFactor oil slick titanium screw kit

Trinity have introduced the new Revtech oil slick titanium screw kit for the use with the XFactor brushless motors. While looking the part, the non-magnetic fasteners can also increase the overall RPM and performance of the motor due to not interfering the the magnetic field of the rotor, making them a great addition especially to stock motors. The set includes six screws and it will hit stores soon.

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.

GForce Burst Sonic 540-class brushless motor

GForce have introduced their new Burst Sonic 540-class electric brushless modified and stock motors. They build around a minimalistic machined aluminium can with an exposed and specially coated stator for improved cooling in high ambient temperatures while the internal design makes for greatly increased overall torque which is further helped by the use of 13mm rotors. The motor also features adjustable timing, dual sensor ports for easier and tidier wire routing, heavy-duty gold-plated solder tabs as well as laser-engraved graphics. The modified range includes 5.5T to 8.5T variants while the stock motors come as 10.5T to 21.5T variants all of which utilise 7.2mm inner diameter rotors for sharper response to throttle input.
