LRP Flow WorksTeam & Flow Competition ESCs

Seen at the Worlds this week in The Netherlands, LRP have introduced the new Flow WorksTeam and Flow Competition high end brushless speed controllers. Following two years of hard work and designed from scratch, the new Flow speedos are based on a completely new platform replacing the existing three SXX Version 2 speedos. Racers can use the Flow 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 LRP Flow speedos stand out. The unique software, a heavy copper 8-layer powerboard and the compact 2- piece machined aluminium housing have been never seen in a brushless competition speed control before. Its construction from thermo-conductive aluminium makes the case highly efficient for cooling.

Xray T3 progressive springs

Available for the T3, Xray’s new progressive springs marked 2.2–2.6 are soft at the beginning of the compression, similar to hardness 2.2, but become harder as the spring is compressed more in the middle, with hardness 2.6 at the end. Black color and laser engraved for easy identification. Available as a pair, the springs are individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values are recorded. Each spring is then matched with another spring of identical characteristics.

Wouter Wynen joins X Factory team

X Factory announces that Wouter Wynen, recent winner of the Belgian GP, has signed to drive the American company’s unique products through the end of 2013. “I’m so happy to have Wouter on the Team at last,” said company spokesman Chazz Sinclair. “He has been a top competitor in the BeNeLux series and all over Europe for many years, and we are glad to have his knowledge and experience working for us. We have wanted him to join us for more than a year, and expect him to be a great help developing and testing new products.” Wynen said,

I tested several different cars this spring in preparation for the BeNeLux series and the GP, both mid-motor and rear-, on both astro and dirt. The X-6 Squared is not the newest of them, but is clearly fastest on all surfaces. Smooth and collected, very easy to control, especially in corners and over bumps. I was truly amazed at the difference.

Pro-Line BullDog Body for TLR22T

Pro-Line have released the BullDog Body for the TLR22T racing truck. Pro-Line took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency. This is a must have 22T body for the new racing season.
