LRP introduce the Vector X20 modified brushless motor. Developed completely from scratch it is designed for highest efficiency and maximum power output. The result of the new design is more power and higher rating at improved temperature characteristics and lowest friction. A novelty of the new technology is the dual axis balanced 12.5mm sintered worksteam rotor resulting in an absolutely precise running and increased efficiency. The larger sized ball bearings and LRP’s PreciSensor system also contribute to the performance of the motors. The CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium housing sports optimised cut-outs for best heat absorption and lowest running temperatures of the motor that are available from 4.5T to 9.5T with 4.0T, 5.0T and 10.5T variants will complete the line in the near future.

After a three-year absence, the Reedy name is making a return to the competition 1:10 electric motor scene. Reedy’s Sonic line of brushed motors were a favorite of racers worldwide and powered numerous National and World Champions in the late ’80s and early ’90s. It is only fitting that the famous Sonic name be revived for the first complete line of competition brushless motors from the world-renowned Reedy brand. Designed strictly for competition and already proven at the highest level, the Reedy Sonic brushless motors feature a lightweight case design with extra-large, strategically placed vent holes to reduce operating temperatures. Lower temperatures result in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. A precision balanced high-strength sintered rotor is supported by dual ball bearings for maximum RPM and reliability. Adjustable timing and a variety of optional rotors allows for fine tuning for particular applications and tracks. Several models for both stock and modified racing are available and all meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

The LRP Vector K4 is great brushless motor for all R/C drivers, whether offroad or onroad, the K4 is suitable for nearly all applications. It is available in five different windings, from 6.5T to 17.5T, and is fully rebuildable. The K4 includes many features of the successful Vector X-12 Stock-Spec competition motor, including the sensor positioning, oversized ball bearings, and HDS technology. The rotor is equipped with a 5mm sized shaft, which makes the K4 motor extremely robust. For weight reduction, the front part of the two-piece housing is made of heat-dissipating metal in a gun-metal look, while the rear part consists of high-quality synthetic material. LRP’s K4 brushless motors come with pre-soldered silicone flex wires with gold coated connectors.
