Team Wave have released an updated version of their Lightning discharging rig, the V2. Improvements over the original version include this simple click in battery holder, voltage displayed for individual cells, a warning if a battery is put in incorrectly and the ability to use 4 or 6 cell easily. You can also set the voltage that the cells should drop to when discharging and of course it looks cool with the blue display.

The Italian engine manufacturer Novarossi have released this large pit bag in their very distinctive blue colour. Featuring the Novarossi R logo in red on the front side the bag is padded and contains compartments that can be moved about or removed. The bag is 60cm x 35cm x 16cm, so it should be large enough to fit a 1/8th scale chassis or 1/10th scale touring car or just lots of racing stuff.
