Nosram Comet Evo & HD speedos

Like the new LRP Flow speedo but prefer red then try the Nosram Comet. Following two years of hard work and designed from scratch, the new Comet speedos are based on a completely new platform replacing the three popular Pearl Evo Version 2 speedos. Racers can use the Comet speedos for modified and stock racing, offering a multitude of setup options. Optimised cooling, extremely high power output over the entire RPM range and simple but flexible adjustability are only some of the highlights that make the new Nosram Comet speedos stand out. The unique software, a heavy copper 8-layer powerboard and the compact 2- piece machined aluminium housing have never been seen in a brushless competition speed control before. Its construction from thermo-conductive aluminium makes the case highly efficient for cooling.

Viper Black Edition VTX speed control

The Viper Black Edition VTX speed control raises the bar as one of the most advanced speed control system available. Upgraded with stronger BEC, newly designed innovative V-Link software and a focus on 2S battery applications, the Black Edition combines the VTX’s ultra small footprint and adjustability to be the clear choice in your hunt for podium finishes. With two versions to choose from the Black Edition VTX10 and Black Edition VTX10R you have options for which ESC better your needs. Its all aluminum case has been redesigned to be even smaller yet able to disperse heat without the use of a fan. The new external capacitor with remote wires increases capacity over 5 times from the previous design, to better handle the rigors of racing with today’s high power motors and to reduce the size of the ESC case for easier installation.
