Tekin G4 Eliminator drag racing brushless motor

Tekin have introduced their all-new G4 Eliminator drag racing electric brushless motor. Utilising oversized ultra torque rotors and the best materials available, Tekin designed the Eliminator to cut weight while reducing resistance, resulting in a purebred drag racing machine. From Pro Mod to Street Eliminator classes, the Eliminator motors create huge power across all RPMs whenever needed. The Gen4 motor line is a completely new ground-up design. The new stator is precision stamped and pressed, increasing efficiency and reducing resistance and the motors are hand-wound with high purity copper wire and machined from 6061-T6 aluminium. Completely tunable with optional rotors and re-buildable, the new Gen4 Eliminator motor is a premium performance power plant for the serious drag racer and it comes in 2.5T, 3.5T, 4.0T, 4.5T, and 5.0T specifications.

Xray T4 ECS BB 52mm & 53mm driveshafts

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars are the new ball-raced ECS BB driveshafts. The construction of the driveshafts offers a significant performance gain over the standard blade-type driveshafts as the friction between the driveshaft and the outdrive is greatly reduced thanks to using ball bearings, which helps to give a much smoother handling feel, especially on fast direction changes, such as chicanes. The reduced friction also helps to increase cornering speeds. The driveshafts are available as 52mm variant for smaller, more technical tracks where more initial steering is needed while the longer 53mm driveshafts are best suited for more open and flowing track layouts. They will provide slightly less initial steering, but better steering in the middle of the corner, as well as on power. The BB driveshafts only work with the front solid axle in combination with the optional #305138 outdrives.

Yankee large scale electric pan car kits – Coming soon

Coming soon from French large scale specialists Yankee are the P420 1/4th scale and P520 1/5th scale electric pan car kits. Both are of a simple and efficient design that utilises construction elements known from 1/10th and 1/12th scale pan cars, however thanks to clever engineering the large scale kits are both lightweight and durable, allowing to run them alongside their gas-powered variants. Both chassis offer up to three different wheelbase settings, they utilise a 3-point pod-type rear suspension, a lightweight front suspension and the P420 also allows to use a dual servo steering setup. Other features include module 1.25 and 1.5 gearboxes, aluminium front hubs, and a motor mount that allows to use a range of large-scale-compatible electric brushless motors. The kits will become available as rolling chassis or as combo packages including a body shell.
