JQ Products – THE Video

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/16373961[/vimeo]

JQ Products have released their first video production highlighting some of the fun they had during the summer testing and developing THE Car.

This is our first attempt at an RC Video, and we drew inspiration from the Motocross videos that we like to watch. The onboard stuff was specially fun to do, and a lot of imagination was needed in order to get the right shots without vibration and with the right focus. I think it turned out great, and Tomi Jermalainen who pretty much did everything from finding the equipment needed, to filming to editing really did an outstanding job. And remember, he is just a racer and filming and editing is just his other hobby.

X-Factory E-Speed heatsink & fan mount

X Factory and Ellis Stafford have announced the newest E-Speed part, a heatsink and fan mount to fit all X-Cars with 4-Gear transmissions. The heatsink is a blue aluminium part that perfectly matches all the other E-Speed and Dirtz Dialed Partz from X Factory and looks great with a D.D.P. motor plate. Heat from the motor goes into the motor plate and the finned heatsink greatly aids cooling of the entire unit. All X Factory parts play well together, and the new E-Speed heatsink fits perfectly with the existing D.D.P. transmission brace. The new part also mounts a 25 mm fan in position to blow directly onto the car’s motor. The two cooling aids, heatsink and fan, are especially important in stock motor racing where modern brushless stock motors are often geared to the moon. Ellis designed the heatsink himself, as with all E-Speed parts, and like everything from X Factory, the new part is complete with a dialed fan and all the necessary hardware.
