Muchmore have introduced a high current charging tray for AAA batteries. The machined aluminium tray will help dissipate heat created during the charging process, reducing stress on the batteries while the screw-type battery terminals allow for easy and secure cell mounting. The tray measures 54x70x25.8mm, it weighs in at about 80g, comes pre-wired with an Ultra 2P connector and it is usable with one to four cells.
Muchmore have introduced the LCG 4mm Euro connectors. The bullet-type plugs are of a special low-profile design to better comply with 23mm LCG battery packs. They offer a 7mm diameter head section with a contoured soldering area for easier wiring and to allow routing the plus and wires under low top decks, making for tidier soldering jobs and an overall improved visual appearance. The connectors are usable with all battery packs outfitted with 4mm tube-type connectors and they come in sets of two.

Muchmore have introduced the Hybrid Mini AC balance charger for LiPo, LiFe and NiMH battery packs. The compact device measures 92x67x35mm and it allows to charge 2S to 3S LiXX batteries and 1 to 8-cell NiMH packs with a maximum of 2A. An integrated LiXX balancer makes for easy and convenient operation as does the easy three touch button design, making the charger ideal for beginners. Included comes a power cable and balance wire.
Muchmore have introduced the Fleta M8.1 Black 180A brushless speed controller for 1/8th scale applications. The 6S LiPo-compatible ESC measures a compact 44.8x45x23.2mm and it is housed in a machined and black anodised aluminium case with Flow-Max design for maximised cooling. The triple power capacitor ensure high power output and a linear throttle feeling while the included ultra high RPM fan is protected by an aluminium guard. The controller comes with the new M8 V2.0 firmware that is adjustable using the optional Fleta Super High Response programming card. The speedo is usable with sensored and sensorless 2 to 6-pole motors and it will hit stores soon.
Coming from Muchmore are two new 5200mAh LiPo battery packs. First up is the Impact HV FD2 5200mAh 110C LiHV battery, made using the latest generation LiHV cells with a higher nominal voltage. Using LiHV-compatible chargers a 2S pack can be charged up to 8.7V allowing for higher output voltage. LiHV packs are also good to be charged to the standard 8.4V for sanctioned races with the flat discharge curve compared to regular packs making for more punch towards the end of a run. The pack measures a standard 138×46.5mm but the reduced height of 22.3mm makes for an overall lower centre of gravity. The hardcase battery pack is equipped with 4mm bullet-type connectors.
Muchmore have introduced the Tweak Master Ver.3 anti-tweak tool. Building on the design of the previous version the new Ver.3 is of a thinner and lighter design with the tweak rod diameter being now at 11.9mm compared to the Ver.2’s 16.4mm. The anti-tweak rod still features three machined holes for the antenna, motor mount post and spur gear and it sports newly designed black and silver colour end caps for a different look. Included comes a glass tweak board and also a handy carrying bag for easy storage and transportation.
