GForce Rev Limiter for brushless speed controllers

Coming soon from GForce is the Rev Limiter module to limit the maximum RPM of electric brushless motors. Looped between the motor, controller and receiver the device limits the maximum RPM of sensored brushless motors in four steps between 10,000 and 17,000 RPM. Micro switches and status LEDs help to check the setting, making the module ideal to equalise the performance of brushless motors for entry level and stock racing classes. The 2S LiPo-compatible Rev Limiter comes in a lightweight case, it measures 22x15x10mm and comes pre-wired with universal connectors and including a sensor wire.

Shepherd Velox V8 EC 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit-1

Team Shepherd introduce the Velox V8 “EC” 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit. The car comes packed with a bunch of few small but fine detail changes that have been successfully tested by factory driver Simon Kurzbuch at the ENS finale in Fiorano where he was able to take the overall win. First up is the new rear shock tower that gives additional room to adjust the position of the centring pin of the rear body mount while the front body posts are now hard-coated to increase the durability. The steering linkage received new smaller pivot balls and ball joints that have less play and wear compared to the previous version while the complete car is now equipped with long-lasting steel pivot balls. The aluminium ones are still available as option parts for racers concentrating on weight savings.
