WMH Racing ‘The Jerry’ | ‘Loadmaster II’ Motor Testers

New from WMH Racing comes these two new motor testers, the ‘The Jerry’ and ‘Loadmaster II’. The Jerry is a new twist on the classic Load Master giving serious RC tuners a smarter, more adjustable way to test motors under load. Instead of direct shaft coupling, The Jerry uses a sliding motor stand setup, letting you connect your test and slave motors with pinion gears. The Loadmaster II is the next evolution of the best selling Loadmaster. It is designed to create load on your test motor via a slave motor and resistors. This load is similar to what it would experience on the track, which means you can gather data like you would on the track, from the comfort of your bench.

Donathen RC V3 Expandable Heated Lipo Sleeve

New from Donathen RC is their V3 Expandable Heated Lipo Sleeve. New features on the V3 model are a button attached to the sleeve, Button with box which is great for mounting to chargers, stands, etc, and regular without the button box, for those that prefer that style. The power button has also been moved closer to the bag, away from the USB port like previous models. The heated lipo sleeve (HLS) is a great way to gain performance out of your batteries without degrading them with useless cycles on your discharging device. When you heat your battery (internally or externally) you are decreasing the internal resistance and flattening the discharge curve, giving you more punch and less fade. According to the data, heating internally (via high amp discharging) or externally (via heating device) provides the EXACT same performance for internal resistance, discharge curve, and voltage drop. Benefits of the HLS compared to discharging include not wasting your limited amount of “high quality” cycles on your charger, control of temperature and for how long the battery is at that temperature, and you can use both of your charger channels (compared to using an external discharge bank. Additionally the HLS is much cheaper than any device that discharges, and you can use your batteries for longer (compared to high amp cycling) because you’re not wasting them on the discharger. Finally the HLS is made with the same premium materials that the DRC lipo safety bags are made from. Dischargers can be misused to cause dangerous conditions for your batteries.
