Losi 8ight-T 1/8th nitro RTR truggy

Losi 8ight-T 1/8th nitro RTR truggy

Losi have introduced their new 8ight-T 1/8th scale nitro ready-to-run truggy. Based off of the multiple ROAR nationals winning TLR 8ight platform the vehicles comes factory-assembled and equipped with high-quality components. It makes use of a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain with three fluid-filled gear differentials, front universal driveshafts and it utilises a suspension with pre-set geometry thanks to fixed-length camber and steering suspension links. Adjustable 15mm oil-filled shock absorbers soak up even the roughest of terrain and a Dynamite .28 pull-starter engine delivers loads of oomph. The truggy is rounded out by waterproof Spektrum metal gear servos, a Dynamite 1600mAh receiver battery and a Spektrum DX2E 2.4GHz radio system as well as a pre-painted bodyshell and pre-glued tyres.

Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 LiPo packs

Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 5200mAh LiPo packs

Coming from Muchmore are two new 5200mAh LiPo battery packs. First up is the Impact HV FD2 5200mAh 110C LiHV battery, made using the latest generation LiHV cells with a higher nominal voltage. Using LiHV-compatible chargers a 2S pack can be charged up to 8.7V allowing for higher output voltage. LiHV packs are also good to be charged to the standard 8.4V for sanctioned races with the flat discharge curve compared to regular packs making for more punch towards the end of a run. The pack measures a standard 138×46.5mm but the reduced height of 22.3mm makes for an overall lower centre of gravity. The hardcase battery pack is equipped with 4mm bullet-type connectors.

Team Powers Actinium V2 brushless motors

Team Powers Actinium V2 brushless motors

Team Powers have introduced the Actinium V2 brushless motors. The version 2 features a redesigned stator with lower resistance and improved power efficiency, which reduces the motor’s running temperature. The new case design incorporates an air flow convection system to keep motor temperatures down by 10 to 15 degrees. On top of this the new neodymium rotors produce a stronger magnetic field than the previous Actinium, by almost 10 percent, and they fade less at the end of a run for more power in the decisive moments of a main. The motor is rounded out by a new endbell design that has a greater range of timing, this gives the racer the ability to tailor the motor to his gearing and also changing track conditions. The V2 will become available in a range of modified and stock windings very soon.
