Team Orion Vortex Race Spec BL ESC Categories - Controllers, Electric, Products, Team Orion - comments closed
First seen on Red RC during our coverage from Thailand, Team Orion have officially announced the Vortex Race Spec BL ESC, a brushless speed controller designed for racers. It features a variable frequency system, a unique system that is responsible for the super smooth response of the controller through optimizing the driving frequency in relation to the throttle position. This ESC also sports an ultra low profile design, which has been achieved by designing the electronic components to be as flat as possible and by positioning them as low as possible. The Race Spec Controller comes with 5 pre-set setups which have been optimized by their international racing team and these settings work the best for the most popular categories. For pro’s who want to adapt the setups, it is possible to do so using a special USB cable and software. The brushless sensor technology is ready for motors with at least 4.5 turns (without fan) and 2.5 turn motors with fan and you can buy the controller with and without cooling set.

LRP SXX Competition prototype ESC Categories - Controllers, Electric, LRP, Products - comments closed
Seen in the pits at the Worlds in Thailand is the new prototype ESC from LRP, called the SXX. Much smaller than the previously available Sphere TC spec ESC, the new controller uses a metal plate set into a plastic frame, to which a heatsink fan combo can be applied but currently isn’t necessary for the 4 cell 1:12th scale class. The new ESC, which is also here in Nosram colours, features a revolutionary copper core cooling technology to keep the internals at a low temperature, while the controller software now has 10 power profiles to select from for finer adjustment of power delivery. Also new is what the company calls X.Brake which provides stronger braking, and it too has 10 adjustment settings which can be set by the 2 new externally mounted buttons.

LRP A.I. Runner Bullet Reverse ESC Categories - Controllers, Electric, LRP, Products - comments closed
More news from LRP who have announced the new A.I. Runner Bullet Reverse, a 100% waterproof speed control that can be operated under water with full power. With LRP’s exclusive true Automatic technology, a push button setup is completely unnecessary, just plug-in the speedo and drive. The speed control immediately ‘learns’ the individual transmitter setting and is perfectly set-up for every run with the correct neutral, full speed forward and full speed reverse transmitter settings. Whatever your car’s configuration is, the LRP True Automatic adapts to it and determines your perfect configuration. The ESC also contains a Fail Safe System that continuously monitors the radio signals being sent to your RC car. If incomplete or ‘false’ signals are received as a result of low batteries or radio frequency interference, it will react instantly and shut off your model to protect it against damage.
