Speedzone has introduced a new ultra-torque rotor for their spec class motor line. The 12.5×25.8 rotor is recommended for off-road and on-road use when conditions warrant even more torque than the standard high torque rotor. The rotor and shaft come marked for easy identification and it is available now.

Ruddog have introduced their new 6500mAh 15.2V 100C Graphene Plus LiHV pack for 1/8th scale applications. Built from high-quality 100C high-voltage LiPo cells the battery offers a high capacity and low internal resistance, ideal for demanding off-road applications and long main finals. The translucent 138x46x48mm hardcase is equipped with 5mm power connectors and an integrated 5-pin XH balancer port, doing away with the fiddly wire balancer ports of most 4S packs. Included with the battery, that weighs in at 560g, comes a balancer adapter for easy charging and storage balancing. The LiHV pack is supplied in a neat reusable packing for easy transportation and storage.
Trinity have introduced two new modified class rotors for their XFactor, Monster, 24K, D4 and Killshot range motors. Available as silver-marked 12.3×25.5 RPM and pink-marked 12.5×25.5 torque variant, both Neo rare earth rotors come nickel-plated and marked for easy identification. The rotors are recommended for off-road and oval racing with the pink torque rotor being the preferred pick of Trinity’s Dakotah Phend’s to fine-tune the Monster 7.0T motor of his 2WD Buggy ride.
Hobbywing have announced the release of their new XeRun V10 G3R electric brushless stock motor. Building on the proven V10 G3 the “R” variant offers further enhanced performance thanks to a 13.3 percent increase in torque, a 6.5 percent increase in RPM and up to 8.6 percent of overall power gain. In addition the internal resistance could be lowered by 11 percent while efficiency was increased by 6 percent, resulting in greatly reduced operation temperatures. At 139g the motor is also very low of weight – thanks to a highly machined aluminium heat-sink design can – making chassis balance adjustments a lot easier. The ROAR and EFRA spec motor is available in 13.5T to 25.5T stock winding variants with the 13.5T to 21.5T motors utilising a 7-12.5×25.2 rotor with optional rotors being available to fine-tune the motors’ power characteristics.
Hobbywing have introduced their new XeRun XR10 Pro 1S Heavy Duty brushless speed controller specially designed for competition 1/12th scale racing. New internals allow for greatly improved heat dissipation even when using low-turn modified motors or when racing in high ambient temperatures while a built-in switch and capacitor module keep wiring as clean as possible while also saving weight. The controller features five pre-set profiles for all sorts of racing conditions, however they can be customised using Hobbywing’s optional WiFi Module and an iOS or Android-based mobile device or a programming box. The internal BEC system with 6V/3A output does away with the need of a separate receiver battery and adjustable throttle and brake PWM frequencies ensure precise throttle and brake control especially in Stock motor classes.
