Trinity X-Factor spec class brushless motor

Trinity have introduced their all-new X-Factor spec class brushless motor. Of a new design the motor weighs in at only 144g to 148g on average which was achieved by using only six short screws to mount the timing ring and locking end plate systems. X-Flow cooling openings further reduce the overall weight while adding a lot of airflow through the motor. Other features include a new composite sensor board, a 2-piece CNC-machined aluminium can, and 2mm ultra-low resistance solder tabs. A new stator design provides more efficient power and virtually no fade during a run. Available variants upon release will be a 10.5T, built with a TEP1119 12.5×25.5mm high torque rotor while the 25.5T motor uses a TEP1117 12.3×25.5mm rotor. In-between variants for other stock classes will become available at a later date.

Schumacher Honeycomb 1/10th off-road tyres

Schumacher Racing have announced the launch of their all-new Honeycomb 1/10th off-road tyre. Designed especially for low grip surfaces, in particular the hugely popular Schumacher Worksop series in the UK where they race on an indoor sports hall surface. The tyre offers exceptional traction straight out of the packet, hard wearing for fair competition from run to run, throughout the race meeting duration. The tyre is available in yellow compound as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant both as tyre only and pre-mounts. For the pre-glued versions, these will come on white wheels with a specific blue closed cell foam insert, providing great support to the carcass of the tyre to prevent folding. These inserts will again provide consistent performance from run to run.

JConcepts carpet/astro high-clearance wing

A new high-clearance wing for 1/10th scale buggies has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts. The HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. The durable design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional rear trim-line for a great balance of down-force and low-drag. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tyre rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designer Paul Wynn added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes two pieces per package. Cut-lines are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options to provide racers feel control over one of the most important elements in 1/10th off-road racing.
