SPower S6 Pro Tuned .21 off-road engine

MW RC Cars have introduced the new SPower S6 Pro Tuned 3.5cc nitro off-road engine. Manufactured by Picco the power plant is of a 5-port design with multi exhaust system for exceptional bottom end power, something that is crucial for today’s track designs. While offering loads of low-RPM power the engine still develops well balanced mid and top end power and drivability, all combined with stable tuning and high fuel economy. The features list includes a new, balanced and silicone-filled 14mm crankshaft for improved overall performance, a larger, more efficient cooling head, a new crankcase design for better clearance with a range of flywheels as well as a super strong knife edged conrod, lightened piston and a Swiss-made rear bearing. The engine is usable in buggy and truggy racing and it is available now.

3DRC 40mm Fan Booster & B6 super light slipper nut set

3DRC have introduced two new products in the form of the 40mm Fan Booster for 1/10th off-road buggies and a super light slipper nut set for the Team Associated B5 and B6 series of vehicles. Starting with the Fan Booster, the 3-D-printed part accommodates most 40mm fan units and it makes for more efficient motor cooling thanks to channelling the cooling air towards the motor can. The fan mount is of a heatsink design for cooler looks and it works with many of today’s off-road buggies.

T-Works anti-slip battery foam

T-Works have introduced a set of anti-slip battery foams. The strips measure 110x25mm and they are cut from 0.5mm thin material to keep the battery pack as low as possible. Using the foam underneath hardcase LiPo batteries keeps the packs from sliding around, retaining the car’s weight balance even when the going gets touch. The foam strips are usable not only with touring car chassis but also other on-road and off-road vehicles. The set contains two pieces and it is available now.

Exotek introduce new 2WD option parts

Coming from Exotek are a range of option parts for several popular 1/10th 2WD buggies such as the HB Racing D216, the TLR 22 3.0 and the Team Associated B6. Starting with the D216 part, the Flite motor plate is a fully CNC-machined affair made of high-quality 7075 aluminium. The vented design will keep the motor running cooler and longer for that extra edge. Aggressive cut outs allow the heat that builds up inside the gear cover to vent out thus lowering overall motor temperatures. The extra machining also reduces the weight down to 11.8g but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to maintain solid motor mounting and gear mesh. Extra cut outs on the bottom side make sure that debris is ejected for free running gears. The part comes polished, anodised in black and laser-etched.

Reedy 540-SL4 sensorless brushless motor

Coming from Reedy is the 540-SL4 sensorless brushless motor for ready-to-run vehicles. Due to its 4-pole configuration, the motor offers high power, efficiency and reliability as it is needed for demanding RTR applications. The 3300kV rating provides plenty of speed with 2S LiPo batteries but installing a 3S LiPo battery makes for even higher speeds. At the same time does a high-strength rotor provide plenty of torque and resists overheating better than 2-pole alternatives. The motor comes pre-wired with flexible silicone wires that ease wire routing in tight spaces and work in conjunction with 3.5mm bullet connectors to reduce power-robbing resistance and heat. The package is rounded out by triple insulated windings, a hardened steel shaft, and oversized ball bearings.
