Team Epic I-Gauss Rotor tester

Team Epic have released the I-Gauss, a simple to use tool to test the strength of your rotor. Brushless motors go bad when the rotor loses its magnetic strength due to the demagnetizing effects of the stator while the motor is under power. When the rotor loses its magnetic field your motor will lose bottom end, run hotter and possibly burn up the stator windings. Potentially a great tool for ROAR spec class racers for tuning your motors magnet strength for the track. Available mid July.

Reedy 2400mAh & 3400mAh get TCS approval

Reedy’s all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPos, which were announced back in February, have been declared legal for use in Tamiya TCS Series competition. The rounded stick pack profile means they are a perfect fit in cars that accept stick packs exclusively, such as Tamiya M-chassis vehicles. However, their universal size means that they can fit in any electric vehicle that accepts 7.2V NiMH stick battery packs. An additional design characteristic is the single cell “humps” that key into chassis that accept NiMH batteries in a side-by-side configuration. Economically priced, both packs are perfect for spec class competitions due to the fitment in a wide variety of cars. A Tamiya style connector with 12AWG comes standard, but the connector is easily changed to accommodate individual requirements.
