Reedy Sonic S-Plus 25.5 motor

Reedy’s Sonic S-Plus motor is now available in a version that meets ROAR’s unique guidelines for 25.5 turn motors typically used in Formula and VTA racing classes. Maximum power output is achieved thanks to near-minimum resistance measurements and a high-strength balanced rotor. In addition to increased power output, reduced weight improves handling and chassis-turning flexibility. Additionally, the motor’s length has been shortened by more than 2mm, which aids left/right balance and moves mass towards the centre of the chassis. Finally, precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability.

LRP X22 Stock Spec & N.B. 6.5T Modified motors

LRP have announced the release of a full line of X22 Stock Spec brushless motors as well as the introduction of the X22 N.B. 6.5T modified motor especially for non-boosted modified classes. All motors use a precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminium can with the Stock Spec motors featuring additional machining for improved cooling and a lower weight. A machined window makes way for the laser-etched winding marking, ensuring easy identification while the aluminium backplate with machined pockets further enhances heat dissipation. The motors are rounded off by heavy duty solder tabs. As for the X22 N.B. 6.5T Modified motor, the power plant was developed especially with non-boosted modified racing in mind, a new class that ensures exceptional top speeds that are still manageable for us mere mortals. The motor builds on the X22 Stock Spec and features a 6.5T modified winding, an optimised rotor and adjustable 0 to 60 degree timing.
