They are built using pure copper wire and feature a balanced sintered rotor, adjustable timing, a lightweight, vented CNC-machined 6061 all-aluminium can and precision ball bearings. The spec class MRR motor is designed to the maximum tolerance of the rules and the short stack design will produce a lower resistance allowing the highest performance possible.

Bowie Ginting victorious at Indonesian EP Nats Rd1

The opening round of the Indonesian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the Progresif Circuit in Bandung, West Java with a total of 60 racers signed in for the three classes of Touring Open, FWD and Mini. In the Touring Open class the opening qualifier was TQed by Ronny Suwarto from Donnie Pangemanan and Bowie Ginting with the latter having the speed to TQ but a last lap incident with a backmarker costed him dearly. Q2 was a different affair with Bowie grabbing a dominant TQ, a lap ahead of runner-up Suwardi Suliandy.

CRC introduce new Formula rim & pre-mounted tyres

New from Calandra Racing Concepts come new Formula rims and pre-mounted tyres. Starting with the Pro-Mount wheels, the rims are purpose-designed for the use with rubber tyres, such as CRC’s RT-1, the TCS F1 and the Pit Shimizu F1 line of tyres. With moulded-in mounting ribs, the Pro-Mount offers an improvement over some other wheels that are nothing more than foam tyre rims without guidance ribs. With CRC’s new wheel the rib guides the tyre bead in the right place, not allowing the tyre to be mounted too far on the wheel, making tyre mounting much easier. Swinging over to the pre-mounted tyres, they come pre-glued and are ready to have fun. The RT-1 tyres have already proven themselves in the World GT-R category of racing. The high-performance belted tyres are of super long wear, providing multiple seasons of use on carpet surfaces. They mount to CRC’s new Pro-Mount wheel and come in sets of four and they will be available in limited quantities in mid March.
