Danish Electric Off-road Champs Rd3 – Report

Round 3 of the Danish Electric Off-road Championship was held at the RC Kongen outdoor track last weekend. The track was laid out with both old and new carpet, making setup a bit difficult. The track is also the home track of the Douglas and Kaerup families and both showed instant speed during the practice rounds. In the 2WD class Jesper Rasmussen set the pace in Q1 in front of Frederik Hovgaard. Jesper and Frederik upped their speed in every round of qualifying with Jesper holding the upper hand.

SchuurSpeed Xtreme Spec V4 stock brushless motors

Around for a while but only officially announced now are SchuurSpeed’s new Xtreme Spec V4 stock class brushless motors. They are engineered and designed in Southern California to EFRA, IFMAR, and ROAR specifications and feature an extremely short stator for maximised RPM and low internal resistance as well as the latest rotor design using a high-Gauss 1600+ magnetic material mixture. The included rotor is a 12.5x24mm and the new solder tabs and collector ring design makes for low resistance but also lowers the centre of gravity. The redesigned airflow can ensures even lower operating temperatures and quicker cool off and the CNC endplates ensure sensor and bearings are perfectly aligned. The completely rebuildable motor comes equipped with high-precision RPM bearings as standard and it weighs in at only 145g, which is 30g lighter than the previous motor. The power plant is available in 10.5T to 25.5T specifications and it has already proven its capabilities by winning the 13.5T Wheeler and 17.5T Buggy classes at this year’s Desert Classics, it took podiums at the JConcepts Stock Nationals and scored a Top 10 finish at the recent Reedy Race.
