Novak NX4 4-pole sensored brushless motor

Novak have introduced the new NX4 540-size 4-pole sensored brushless motor. Made for the use in 1/10th scale on-road and off-road vehicles the 3900kv motor offers a lot of bottom end torque thanks to its 4-pole design, making it ideal for heavy vehicles such as 2WD and 4WD trucks. The heatsink can lowers the operation temperature while ABEC 5 bearings and a Kevlar-wrapped rotor make for maximum performance and reliability. Rubber gaskets and a closed motor design help keeping dust and dirt away from the delicate internals. The motor comes pre-wired with 13AWG wire and gold-plated 4mm bullet-type connectors and it will become available soon.

Novak Hammer sensored 1/10th scale controller

Available soon from Novak is the intermediate-level Hammer 1/10th scale brushless speed controller. The sensored ESC is good for the use with 2S to 3S LiPo battery packs and down to 8.5T motors, making it ideal for a range of on-road and off-road applications. The controller is factory-defaulted to LiPo mode with reverse turned on and drivers can customise the firmware to suit their driving style, including throttle curve, brake power and many other parameters. The firmware also includes thermal overload protection, low-voltage protection, and motor lock-up protection for added reliability. Additionally, on-board diagnostics are standard in the firmware including a motor sensor checking test, error sensing, and on-board temperature diagnostics. Designed with a silicone gasket sealed case, the Hammer is protected from the elements such as water, dirt, and other debris and it comes pre-wired from the factory with gold-plated bullet connectors for easy installation.

Vigor RC aluminium ESC fan protector & heat sink

Vigor RC have introduced a new fan protector and heat sink for the fans of electronic speed controllers. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver details the add-on protectors are meant to increase the airflow pressure while adding cooling surface, which can lead to an eight to ten percent lower ESC temperature. The protector is available for 25mm and 30mm fans.

Speedzone Elite Series brushless motors

Speedzone have introduced their new Elite Series brushless motor to compliment the Peerless Series. With a more linear feel, this latest offering allows a user to have every available motor option to suit track conditions and racing environments. A variety of turns are available and each motor is built to the highest quality and tolerance. Motors are bench tested to ensure sensor, stator and the ball bearings are all functioning to a strict quality control. Symmetrical vent openings in conjunction with the case and stator structure reduces motor temperature and maximises efficiency during an operating cycle. It also allows for easy stator measurement without disassembly. The Spec motors are produced with a short stator and HT rotor while the Modified motors come with a standard size stator.
