Coming from Maclan Racing is their new MR8.3 electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. The MR8.3 is 4.5mm shorter and up to 25g lighter than its predecessor with an all-new stator and rotor design offering a more linear and smoother power band along with higher efficiency for an overall lower power consumption. The motor also features an additional sensor port for easier wiring and it comes in the two kV options of 1900kV and 2100kV. For the best overall performance Maclan Racing recommends to use the motor with the soon to be releasing MMax 8 speed controller, however they are usable with all other sensored 1/8th scale brushless speed controllers too.
Merlin McFly have introduced their new topdeck for the Serpent X20 touring car. Designed by Lennart Skornia, the new upper deck has been optimised to improve the flex characteristics of the chassis in high traction carpet conditions as it reduces the overall torsional flex of the chassis both front and rear resulting in easier and more consistent lap times. The flex can be adjusted by either using screws or removing them from the top deck. The parts can be personalised or customised upon request.
