ProTek Prodigy 620 Duo multi-chemistry charger

The ProTek Prodigy 620 Duo is a multi-chemistry charger with two independent 400 watt channels, each with its own independent control panel, blue backlit LCD display, balance ports and sensor ports. It can charge LiPo, LiFe, or Li-Ion batteries up to 6S, 15-cell NiCd or NiMH batteries, and lead-acid batteries up to 20V. With the ability to fast charge, balance charge, and storage charge lithium cells, you can easily tailor the charge process to suit your needs, while individual cell voltage can be monitored during balance mode charging, allowing you to identify an imbalance in the cells and spot a weak cell before it becomes a problem. Other features include a dual-fan cooling system that utilises a push-pull design that will keep the charger cool, even when working at maximum capacity.

Sanwa/Airtronics M12 transmitter

Sanwa/Airtronics have introduced the M12, the new flagship transmitter which will replace the famous and very successful M11 unit. The new M12 claims to feature super high speed response (SSR) to the point where there is instant reaction to the drivers input for the ultimate driving feel. The new system also allows you to program the D/R settings to allow you to change trim or a curve in an instant to react to the changing conditions. The transmitter has also been made significantly lighter compared to its predecessor thanks to changes to the radio’s internal structure. Finally the M12 allows you to integrate a telemetry function to record your throttle and steering inputs and with extra sensors to recorder the RPM, voltage, temperature and further inputs.
