Our long awaited sealed cans are here. We used to sell sealed cans back in the racing days for the TCS racing series, so nothing new about us selling this type of motor. Since were not under any form of rules like the racing days, we were able to get some changes in to improve performance and offer more options to fit more of the trucks out there.
First we had them install the highest grade chinese magnet, the YG45 in them instead of the low grade magnets they normally come with. Next up, we had them wind the arms with high quality copper wire in optimal sizes. Then to make a smoother and more efficient motor, we had them install bearings on BOTH sides of the motor. We had them add torque ring as well to increase torque, brake and efficiency. Lastly, we had them use a black finish so they blend easier into builds without being too flashy. All this cost a little more, but we were still able to keep these at the same price as other companies sell them for.
Motors are engraved with the main model info, which provides a durable marking system while not putting a sticker on to act as a thermal blanket. Each and every motor is broken in and tested prior to shipping. Your motor is ready to rock once you install it, no need to baby it for the first few packs. We simply can't send stuff out not broken in or tested, it kinda just goes against everything we are about.
We have 4 versions in this first batch, with 6 winds available.. In our next batch we will have additional winds available in all 4 versions to fit more applications.
All the motors are on the website and ready to ship!
