Reedy HV 30mm motor cooling can

Coming from Reedy is their new high-voltage compatible 30mm motor cooling fan. It comes with a handy 195mm extension and is simple to install by plugging directly into the receiver where it operates off BEC voltage. Because it has HV capability, it can also be soldered directly to ESC battery terminals to achieve 24000 RPM and maximum cooling. Installing in the vehicle is as easy as double-sided tape or fitting it to a fan mount or heat sink.

SchuurSpeed Xtreme Spec V4 stock brushless motors

Around for a while but only officially announced now are SchuurSpeed’s new Xtreme Spec V4 stock class brushless motors. They are engineered and designed in Southern California to EFRA, IFMAR, and ROAR specifications and feature an extremely short stator for maximised RPM and low internal resistance as well as the latest rotor design using a high-Gauss 1600+ magnetic material mixture. The included rotor is a 12.5x24mm and the new solder tabs and collector ring design makes for low resistance but also lowers the centre of gravity. The redesigned airflow can ensures even lower operating temperatures and quicker cool off and the CNC endplates ensure sensor and bearings are perfectly aligned. The completely rebuildable motor comes equipped with high-precision RPM bearings as standard and it weighs in at only 145g, which is 30g lighter than the previous motor. The power plant is available in 10.5T to 25.5T specifications and it has already proven its capabilities by winning the 13.5T Wheeler and 17.5T Buggy classes at this year’s Desert Classics, it took podiums at the JConcepts Stock Nationals and scored a Top 10 finish at the recent Reedy Race.

Hiro Seiko XeRun V10 G3 lightweight screw kit

Hiro Seiko have introduced their new lightweight screw kit for the Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 brushless motor. The set includes three M2x43mm titanium screws and a single M2.4x5mm fastener, the latter being available in a multitude of colours including orange, red, gun metal, dark blue, bright blue and purple. While adding a certain bling to the motor the set will lower the overall weight while, most importantly, it will allow the motor to rev higher and perform better as the fasteners will have no magnetic influence on the rotor which will result in a more agile behaviour.

Bruno RC XeRun V10 G3 titanium motor screws

Coming from Bruno RC and made for the Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3 brushless motors is a new titanium motor screw set. The kit includes three M2x43mm motor can screws as well as a single M2.4x5mm alloy fastener for the sensor back plate. Using the screws over the standard steel hardware will lower the motor’s overall weight while reducing the magnetic interference at the same time, resulting in improved motor performance and agility.

Yokomo RP series machined titanium motor screws

Coming from Yokomo and made for their Racing Performer series of brushless motors are machined titanium screws. While saving weight the screws also have less influence on the magnetic field of the motor, compared to the standard steel fasteners, which results in increased RPM, enhanced agility and better overall performance. Included are three M2.5x8mm and three M2.5×44.5mm screws in a natural silver finish.
