Maxime Favrelle wins French 1/10th Nats Rd2

Shepherd are reporting on last weekend’s second round of the French 1/10 On-Road National Championship that was held in Nantes in the West of the Country. With 27 entries in the Elite class and 60 entries in National class, it was a really good participation. The qualification was very tight and saw Adrien Bertin taking the TQ in front of Thomas Eytard, Maxime Favrelle and Basile Concialdi who took the last spot for the direct final. In the final Favrelle had the best start and managed to increase is lead to 1 lap over the rest of the field in the early stage of the race, but his engine stalled after the first half of the race and he lost some time. With a strong and aggressive run Favrelle could manage to recover and take over the lead again just a few minutes before the end. At this time Desmaries was on 2nd position, but also his engine stalled and he dropped down to 7th position gifting Basile Concialdi with the runner up spot, just in front of Thomas Eytard.

Novak Ballistic 550 brushless motors

Novak’s Ballistic 550 Brushless motors claim to be the first 550-sized motors to break into short course competition and easily outperform traditional 540-sized motors. The Ballistic 550s are so powerful because of their extra long stator and rotor magnet. In fact, the stator and rotor magnet are twice the length of 540-sized motors, giving them twice the torque. Additionally, these larger-sized motors run cooler and more efficiently than their 540 counterparts. These high-powered machines are the motors of choice at small, indoor race tracks and easily install into the OFNA Hyper 10 SC, Jammin SCRT 10, Traxxas Slash 4X4 and many other 1/10-scale short course trucks.
