Nosram N22 540-size modified brushless motors

Austrian Nosram distributors MW RC Cars have introduced the all new N22 540-size modified brushless motor. It makes use of a lightweight 7075-T6 aluminium can with maximised cooling cut-outs for improved airflow and thus low operation temperatures. A heatsink design and black surface coating further helps with efficient heat dissipation while an optimised sensor design and timing range, dual-axis balanced sintered rotor and 4x10x4mm ABEC5 bearings help to get the most out of the new design. A unique, waterproof PreciSensor assures precise operation with any speed controller and the motors are available in 3.5T to 10.5T variants with odd and even winding options.

Hobbico to end Team Durango brand

Ongoing speculation about the destiny of the formerly very popular Team Durango brand has ended following a somewhat hidden statement on social media this week. In the past month Team Durango drivers had to cope with parts shortages and diminishing support, something that sort of found its beginning with the cancellation of all team activities for the 2015 season. Hobbico states that their ARRMA RTR brand, whose 1/8th electric buggies and trucks were the platform for Team Durango’s last generation of competition kits, is still alive and kicking with more to await from the proactive brand. Hobbico’s “official” statements reads like this:

Due to market conditions, the Team Durango product line has been discontinued and we will receive no further product shipments. (We do have some parts inventory remaining and available for a limited time.) We thank all Team Durango customers and team members for their dedication to Team Durango.

The low-profile button head improves clearance so the head will not interfere with the low top decks of today’s electric touring cars. The connectors come as pairs and they are available now.
