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.

Using the anti-roll bars helps in a variety of conditions, from low to high grip, as they reduce body roll and thus take away some steering while also improving traction at the same time.

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.
