Speed Passion V4.0 Stock brushless motors

New from Speed Passion come the V4.0 Stock electric brushless motors. Designed to meet EFRA, BRCA and ROAR specifications the motors build on the V4.0 Modified series in terms of can design but they offer improved cooling vents for better heat dissipation and lowered running temperatures. Taken over from Modified motors is also the new end bell design that incorporates a plug-in system using bullet-type connectors over the standard solder tab design used by other companies. The motors come in a range of windings including 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T and 25.5T variants.

The Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series visited the wide open prairies of Saskatchewan, this time in Moose Jaw for Round 6, hosted by Fastraxx. A little town with a big race, and as the countdown to the finals begins the championships battles are getting close.

Korgae Scales and his Awesomatix then had the lead for the first minute, but Steve Soon, who had started 2nd on the grid, took the lead on lap 6 with his Serpent and never looked back. Danny battled all the way back and passed Korgae with just a minute to go to take 2nd. Korgae brought his Awesomatix home 3rd.

Xray X1 graphite front brace

Made for the use in high traction conditions is this graphite front brace for the Xray X1 formula car. Cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre sheet and coming with mounting hardware the brace makes for a less aggressive steering feeling on grippy surfaces as it stiffens up the front end assembly by connecting the lower wishbones.
