Hobbywing XeRun V10 G3R brushless stock motor

Hobbywing have announced the release of their new XeRun V10 G3R electric brushless stock motor. Building on the proven V10 G3 the “R” variant offers further enhanced performance thanks to a 13.3 percent increase in torque, a 6.5 percent increase in RPM and up to 8.6 percent of overall power gain. In addition the internal resistance could be lowered by 11 percent while efficiency was increased by 6 percent, resulting in greatly reduced operation temperatures. At 139g the motor is also very low of weight – thanks to a highly machined aluminium heat-sink design can – making chassis balance adjustments a lot easier. The ROAR and EFRA spec motor is available in 13.5T to 25.5T stock winding variants with the 13.5T to 21.5T motors utilising a 7-12.5×25.2 rotor with optional rotors being available to fine-tune the motors’ power characteristics.

JConcepts Scale & Trail Truck drawstring tote bag

JConcepts have announced the release of their new drawstring tote bag for 1:10 Scale and Trail trucks. In many instances, Scale trucks are very dirty once they leave the trail grounds and its common for drivers to look for a cleaner way to move them from place to place. Alas, JConcepts has delivered on the tidy pit option. Important to the seasoned driver and relative newcomer, the drawstring bag has a handy base design with durable material. The bag is comprised of multiple compartments where the largest available space is specifically designed for a Scale RC vehicle. Inside the large opening is a divider which allows the user to separate items, such as instruction manuals, setup books or generally small related items, from the vehicle compartment. On the outside, a zipper closure opens to another slide compartment that can be completely isolated from other items. Large gauge drawstrings are located on the perimeter which when pulled together clinches the bag at the top. Heavy stitching is used throughout to help maintain construction and the main material offers some resistance to moisture in select closed areas. Small holes are located at the bottom of the outside pouch for ventilation. The bag is topped off with printed JConcepts Racing Team logo for authenticity and brand loyalty.
