Muchmore Fleta ZX V2 10.5T Drift brushless motor

The latest in the line of Muchmore’s all-new Fleta ZX V2 brushless motors is a drift specific 10.5T variant. It makes use of the same Flow-Max 2 motor can and high-power stator design as the recently introduced modified and stock variants but it includes a special rotor whose fan not only further increases cooling but it also makes for a more realistic sound effect. The Drift motor is available in the 10.5T variant only and it will hit stores very soon.

Maclan Racing MR8.2 1/8 sensored brushless motor

Maclan Racing have announced the new MR8.2 1/8 brushless series of motors. The MR8.2’s new design is set to deliver balanced power and smoothness thanks to a combination of a 12-slot stator with a strong, staggered 4-pole, 8-magnet rotor that is constructed to be smooth and powerful while increasing durability. An all-new error-free sensor unit design with separate sensor magnet will minimise the signal noise the often can damage speed controllers. The series will include 1500kv, 1950kv, and 2150kv buggy style motors as well as a dedicated 2100kv truggy variant.

RC Concept SC10R 1/10th brushless speed controller

RC Concept have introduced their all-new SC10R 1/10th brushless speed controller. Featuring the self-developed WTI technology the speedo brings together innovative programming and hardware with the new algorithms and a fast 32-bit processor, making for perfect power and brake control and ensuring the driver always feels perfectly connected to the car. On top of this help Japanese-made high-power FETs to efficiently use the power of today’s high-performance LiPo and LiHV batteries. The water and dust protected ESC is easily programmable using RC Concept’s EC Box or PC software and it has already proven its capabilities by coming in 3rd at this week’s EFRA 2WD European Championship in the hands of Reno Savoya.

Team Orion Vortex Ultimate Modified brushless motor

Team Orion have introduced their new Vortex Ultimate Modified brushless motor. Like the Ultimate Stock variant, the modified motor, that won the 4WD Buggy class at last weekend’s Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout in the hands of Xray’s Ty Tessmann, will offer increased performance and efficiency thanks to a low resistance design, a new “Ultimate” sensor construction for accurate timing adjustment and control and precision-balanced rotor manufactured using a new magnetic material. The latter will also improve brake efficiency and feeling while a new stator design and material makes for optimised efficiency and cooler running temperatures. The motor is rounded out by a 4-piece can design and a new angled front plate. The Vortex Ultimate Modified motor is race legal for all major governing bodies and it is available in 4.5T to 8.5T variants with a 6.5T 1/12th scale specific version becoming available also.
