Looking for cars or bike parts today - not in six weeks? Communica keeps a practical selection of RC cars, brushed and brushless motors, motor controllers, battery systems and e-bike conversion parts available for makers, students and workshop teams across South Africa. We prioritise local availability, clear spec guidance and options for branch pickup from Samrand, Pretoria or Cape Town so your project keeps moving.
Why buy locally stocked drive parts
Buying from local stock reduces lead-time uncertainty and lets you collect VAT invoices for institutional procurement. For campus labs or prototype shops that need parts fast, choosing parts from local inventory avoids shipping delays and import headaches common with cross-border suppliers.
- Immediate branch pickup or fast courier from Samrand
- Clear spec sheets for motor, ESC and battery compatibility
- Accessory bundles for quick prototyping

Specification callouts you should check before ordering
A few specifications determine whether a motor or controller suits a car or bike application. Always confirm these on the product page and match them to your use case:
| Spec | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Kv (RPM/V) | Defines motor speed vs voltage; lower Kv for torque (bike), higher Kv for top speed (RC car). |
| Continuous current (A) | Determines sustained load capacity-match to controller and battery C-rating. |
| Battery voltage / cell count | Matches motor/controller ratings; using incorrect voltage risks damage. |
If you need guidance confirming compatibility, check stock and specs on our all-products index All Products for datasheets and accessory lists.
