MIP TLR 22 4.0 Bi-Metal Super Diff 13.5 drive kit

MIP’s recently introduced Bi-Metal Super Diff kit for the TLR 22 4.0 is now also available as 13.5 drive kit including bi-metal driveshaft bones. Offering a 35 percent lower rotational mass than the standard diff and dog bones, the kit comes in handy especially for Super Stock and Stock racing as the lowered weight makes for increased acceleration and less motor fatigue while offering pin drive binding characteristics. Included in the kit are bi-metal outdrives and bones, heat treated outdrives, carbide diff ball, ground diff rings, an aluminium T-nut and a captured thrust race assembly. Not included are wheel axles and the diff gear.

Trion V2 modified brushless motors

Japanese brand Trion have introduced their new V2 series 540-size sensored electric brushless motor. The power plant is of a new design that revolves around a high-airflow can with huge cooling openings around the front section while machined openings in the stator area further increase the airflow in this area. This leads to a much cooler motor towards the end of a run and thus reduced fading and more stable performance. An updated stator further adds to the overall performance with increased torque and reduced heat build-up. The motor is rounded out by a new rotor and available from now on in a 5.0T touring and a 6.5T off-road variant with additional 4.5T to 8.5T variants coming later in July.
