| Peak Racing’s
new Vantage motors mark a leap in motor technology with a major re-think
and re-design in the area of the brush gear and endbell. Round in cross
section the brushes are positioned at an angle to the commutator to solve
some of the problems found when employing the the conventional square brush.
Other refinements are listed below which are additional to the quality hand
wound armatures that have always powered Peak motors. The motors have been developed and tested by some of the top drivers in the world including the current World Champion Surikarn Chaidajsuriya, who has a number of his own chosen winds within the range. |

| The Vantage
hand wound modified motor incorporates several innovative features that
create a performance advantage over conventional modified motors. Angled (V) brush orientation Reduced brush bounce increases brush and commutator life while extra contact area increases brush efficiency. Round brushes More precise brush guidance and smoother brush overlap results in less arcing, which increases performance and reduces the likelihood of radio interference. The brushes have an innovative serrated surface design in combination with a preformed contact area which increases power, but reduces brush and commutator wear. Precision CNC aluminium end-bell assembly Additional cooling increases brush and magnet life. Pure copper round brush guidance tubes offer ultra low resistance, precision fit, and due to their close proximity to the commutator, increase brush stability. Direct soldering Brush shunts and ESC wires are soldered together to the pure copper brush tubes, dramatically reducing resistance. Airflow cooling Lower brush and motor temperatures reduce resistance, which increases power. Inboard capacitor system with LED system Three integrated capacitors are located inside the endbell with a red LED as a rotation and contact guide. Caps are all working when the LED emits a red neon glow from within the endbell. Intelligent anti-vibration spring system Springs made from Inox steel (ultra heat resistance = consistent tension, hot or cold), are formed in an unequal length conical coil to prevent vibration, and are available in 3 different hardnesses. Zero vibration ball bearing system The end-bell ball bearing is mounted between o-rings to prevent ball bearing induced vibrations from reaching the commutator resulting in reduced brush bounce. Swiss precision The V2 end-bell system is designed, developed, and produced in Switzerland. Long life and power brushes available Currently two brush compounds are available to suit many track conditions. Additional compounds and brush styles are already in development.Meets IFMAR, JMRCA, EFRA, BRCA, and ROAR specifications |
