Team Orion Vortex VST2 Pro XLW brushless motors

Team Orion have introduced the Vortex VST2 Pro XLW electric brushless motors. They are based off of the successful VST2 Pro motors and feature a smaller outer diameter of only 34mm which, combined with repositioned mounting holes, allows to mount the motor lower in the chassis for a lower centre of gravity and thus faster cornering. High-quality stator material and a high efficiency design makes them as powerful as standard diameter motors, making them ideal for virtually all 1/10th classes. The motors will become available as 4.5T to 9.5T modified and 10.5T to 21.5T stock variants.

JConcepts HF2 short course bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced their latest 1/10th short course bodyshell, the HF2. Specifically designed for mid-motor SCT trucks, the radical Hi-Flow 2 body has all new elements which take SCT tuning to the next level. With more reliable stability, increased speeds and more cornering ability in the SCT class, the body will effectively lowering the centre of gravity thanks to a low-profile design to further up performance. Air escape details, such as full rear opening capability just behind the cab as well as larger and more open louvers near the tail end of the bed help to fine-tune the body to the driver’s preferences. The wheel wells are an area of focus on the HF2 body with an edgier appeal and pronounced flare to them. The openings allow for more tire clearance throughout suspension travel and also provide a little release of air during high-speed cornering. The rear number plates have been updated to accommodate the lower roof line and also detailed for appearance. As a bonus, the body includes an HF decal sheet for compatibility as well as window mask and customer letter to fill the accessory package.
