X-Factory UK/Team Epic New Product Preview

Team Epic is the new name of Trinity and it is the brand that the vast majority of new and latest releases are channelled through. The range includes some of the latest LiPo racing and recreational battery packs, the newest (and fastest) brushless motors, brushed 27 and 19-turn motors, budget modified motors, the unique “I-Gauss” brushless rotor tester, tyre additive and of course Epic pit gear and apparel too.

Motors

The most popular of the motors in the Epic range are the DUO 2 modified and stock spec versions.

The latest modified offerings are the “DUO 2 Platinum Edition”. Based on their DUO 2 ROAR stock versions these motors have proved ultra successful already over in the USA, winning everywhere they go. They are also now available here in the UK too. Even with the great performance that they offer, the price is still well below that of many other leading UK brands. They are currently available in 6 different winds.

Epic DUO 2 Platinum Edition Brushless Modifieds – 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 turn available UK RRP just £79.99

Another extremely popular range is the “DUO 2 Stock Spec” motors. These motors are some of the very fastest on the track at present in all 10.5 and 13.5 classes. They have been sweeping up most major titles in the USA for some time now and once more are now available here in the UK. Each motor is colour coded to represent its wind and every one is individually “Dyno tuned” to produce specs on RPM, Efficiency, Power and Torque. All motors have been submitted to the BRCA for homologation for the 2010 season and are expected to be added to the very next homologation listing.

 

Four winds are available – 10.5 (Gold), 13.5 (Blue), 17.5 (Red) and 21.5 (Black) – UK RRP £74.99

Epic also offer brushed motors for the 27 and 19 turn forms of racing which are still popular in many areas of the country. Both motors are “extreme” versions which are not necessarily designed to conform to BRCA rules but more for ultimate performance.

The “Epic Outlaw” is a 4 magnet binary, 19 turn super stock motor.
