I think it is just translation thing sir. The new motors appear to just have stronger braking as I read it.

sascws90,

I went to the ItaliaSlots site and did a translate on the text there. This is what I got in return:

"From the beginning of September there are two new versions of this lightweight and compact engine long case. With the Flat-6 S and Flat-6 RS, Slot.it has further developed the innovative concept of the unity Flat-6. In both versions have been improved the torque, the power, and the braking power. Proviamoli on the track!"

To increase the braking on a DC motor you can either not have the timing set as advanced and you can increase the magnetic field. Perhaps the new Flat-6 R and the Flat-6 RS have this feature. You get the same increase in torque and power with this scheme. I am thinking they have upgraded to perhaps 'neo' type magnets?

I know I will be looking forward to picking mine up when they are released.

Do you have a date for the release here on the eastern US?
