Speed Passion have been in touch to announce their all new MMM V3 Competition motor series. MMM simply means More torque, More power and More speed. It is based off the successful V3.0 Competition Motor Series that took the TC World Title in 2010 and many other wins around the world. Having gathered all this winning information plus driver input they are going one step further. Featuring a totally new motor front plate and rear end bell design that uses stronger material ready for the most extreme conditions, it also sports a new and improved sensor unit providing stronger sensor holding capability to withhold the most extreme racing condition. Also new on the MMM series is the advanced timing unit sensor (in degrees, 11-20 degrees, standard) of which multiple timing sensor units are available for a wide choice of adjustability to meet all racing needs. The new stator from the MMM series will improve the power band output by the 10% overall over the standard V3 Competition series motor and finally the new motor is 5 grams lighter than its predecessor.
