Much More Regulator & Power indicator Categories - Regulator, Much More, Electric, Products - comments closed
Much More have released this super liner voltage regulator for 7.4 volt LiPo receiver packs. The unit regulates the voltage of the battery at 6.5V without noise and radio glitching thanks to the super linear regulator technology. Also new from the Korean company, is a LiPo battery volt indicator, which can work with the regulator using its extra socket as shown in the photo above. This item monitors the output voltage status using different LED colours.

Team Orion Voltage regulator Categories - Regulator, Team Orion, Electric, Products - comments closed
After having changed the electric racing market by establishing the LiPo as a standard worldwide, Team Orion is turning their attentions to using LiPo for RX packs. Since Lipo packs give a nominal voltage of 7.4 volts, and 8,4 volts when fully charged, it can’t be used with many receiver or servos without a voltage regulator. While there are some regulators already on the market, these are very low tech and not very resistant to the abuse that can occur when mounted in an RC car. Team Orion have produced a concept which has been made specifically to withstand this abuse, with their new Voltage regulator coming mounted in a protective casing.

Checkpoint 5400 LiPo pack & Balancer Categories - Regulator, Team Checkpoint, Batteries, Electric, Products - comments closed 
Team Checkpoint are gearing up for the new season running LiPos with the release of a new competition LiPo pack and balancer. The battery is a 7.4V 5400mAh pack that provides outstanding endurance for uninterrupted running as well as exceptional power output that makes this pack ideal for competition-level racers. The cells are expertly matched for internal resistance, voltage and capacity while an impact resistant case protects against damage. For charging you will need this new Pro Car LiPo balancer that balances individual cell voltages during charge or discharge and automatically checks for poor quality cells. It can be used alone or with a separate charger or discharger to precisely control charging/discharging for maximum battery performance. Designed to handle up to 6 amps, it’s supplied with banana plugs on input leads to make for easy connection.

Team Losi Lithium Charge Converter Categories - Regulator, Chargers, Team Losi, Electric, Products - comments closed
Team Losi have released this Lithium charge converter which allows you to run Lithium batteries for more power and longer run times without having to buy an expensive Lithium charger. This converter will allow you to charge a Lithium battery with a charger you already own, just plug a Lithium battery into the charge converter, select the cell type and confirm the number of cells, adjust the charger to the correct output, plug it into the charger and start charging. The converter allows you to use a nickel-based charger to charge Lithium-based batteries. No need to buy an expensive LiPo charger.

Novak 3A High-Voltage Universal BEC Categories - Regulator, Novak, Electric, Products - comments closed
This product was released earlier in the week but we didn’t get around to writing about it then and so here it is today. Novak’s 3-Amp High-Voltage Universal BEC allows you to run higher voltage main battery packs, up to 26.4 Volts (4-22 Ni-MH Cells or 2-7 Li-Po), and regulates output to 6 Volts/3Amps to provide consistent power to your electronics throughout the charge. It is ideal for applications that use higher main battery pack voltage above 12 or more volts in the main battery pack due to the fact that most speed control BECs have difficulty handling more then 8.4 volts input.
