Double Ceramic ceramic motor bearings & lube

Double Ceramic from California have introduced their new ceramic motor bearings as well as their ceramic-infused bearing lube. The first product is focusing on reducing magnetic interference around the motor to maximise electric motor performance. The full ceramic 540 motor Bearing achieves this with the use of Zirconium Oxide balls and races, which has 80 percent less friction than bare chrome steel balls, while also being 40 percent lighter. This results in less centrifugal force on the balls and less heat generation between the balls and races. The bearing also uses a variation of Double Ceramic’s custom moulded PEEK cage, resulting in no magnetic interference in brushless motors, resulting in quicker spool-up and higher RPM. The Full Ceramic motor bearing also contains no shielding, further reducing friction and increasing high RPM capability.

Trinity D8.5 1/8th scale brushless motor

Trinity have introduced their new D8.5 electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale vehicles. It features a new high-torque stator design and an all-new 4-pole rotor with multi-point rotational sensor pickups. Dual sensor ports ensure easy wiring as do the heavy duty low-resistance solder tabs. The grooved can design allows for more surface area and thus colour running temperatures and the motor is available in 1700kV, 2000kV and 2300kV variants from now on.

Ruddog RP540 fixed timing spec motors

Ruddog have introduced their new range of fixed timing spec racing electric brushless motors. The powerplants utilise the same design as the RP540 stock motors but feature a fixed timing sensor plate, meaning they are the perfect hand-out motor for club races, sanctioned championships and long distance races. In addition to the new motors Ruddog are also offering a separate timing insert to outfit existing RP540 motors to the new fixed timing specification, allowing racers to use the same motor in open and sanctioned races. The PR540 fixed timing motors are available in 10.5T 13.5T 17.5T and 21.5T specifications.
