Available now from Konect is their K1 Elite 540-size electric brushless motor. It utilises a new and unique stator design for improved torque and high RPM while a special stator coating ensures optimised heat dissipation and surface corrosion resistance. High-purity Copper windings ensure maximised conductivity which further adds to the overall performance. The CNC-machined Billet T6 can sports heavy machining for best possible airflow inside the motor and thus lower operation temperatures while accurately mounted sensors, ensure best possible performance. The package is rounded out by dual sensor ports and the motor is available in 4.5T to 10.5T modified and…

The latest addition to JConcepts’ popular line of rigid axle monster truck body shells is the 1970 Chevy K10. The popularity of scale and monster trucks sent JConcepts to the trenches in search of the ultimate line of iconic trucks to compliment a range of vehicles utilising a 10.5” to 11.00” wheelbase such as the Tamiya Clod Buster and Traxxas Stampede. The 1970 shell is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to simpler times when a hard day’s work was a bedful of goodness. For the 1970, a lot of the glamour rests in the front grille…

Following a couple of teaser images ARC have finally fully unveiled their all-new R12 mid-motor touring car kit. The car was developed with maximising traction, increasing drivetrain efficiency and lowering the overall centre of gravity in mind. The vehicle builds on a newly developed mid-motor double deck chassis construction whose massive yet lightweight mono-block motor mount bulkhead improves centre rigidity while allowing the front and rear to flex independently thanks to the split double deck design. The motor mount also features integrated belt tensioning for reduced belt skip and increased drivetrain longevity. The new mirrored front and rear upper decks…

Coming soon from Team Associated is their DR10 ready-to-run drag race car in Sublime Green colour.

Coming soon from Muchmore is a 13.5T variant of their Fleta ZX V2 ER Spec motor with MR-FZR21X 12.5×7.25×24.2mm [X] titanium rotor. The motor will produce increased torque which comes in handy especially for blink buggy classes and when running in high-bite traction conditions. Besides the rotor, the motor makes use of the same features as the standard ER Spec series, meaning it utilises the highly machined Flow-Max 2 aluminium can, a high-power stator, heavy-duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing end plate, and it is also available in 17.5T and 21-5T variants.
