ProTek R/C high-density foam pit mat

New from ProTek R/C comes a 4mm thick foam pit mat for comfortable wrenching in the pits. The high-density mat is soft and durable, and it rolls up for convenient storage. A zipped mesh pouch is included to protect the pit mat while stowed. At 122x61cm, the mat is giving plenty of room when building a new ride or thrashing during quick repairs and it has a non-slip textured surface that has been sealed, so that it is water and oil-resistant. Non-toxic cleaners can be used to remove oily residue left over from shock and differential maintenance.

ProTek R/C Blue Flame engine heater

New from ProTek R/C comes the Blue Flame engine heater to effectively pre-heat the critical internal parts of a nitro engine. Pre-heating the engine head and the upper parts of the crankcase results in significantly reduced wear and unnecessary stress when compared to cold starting. The engine’s crankshaft, connecting rod, piston and sleeve all benefit and will last much longer when pre-heated regularly plus the engine’s “pinch” will be reduced which can be beneficial especially for new or rebuild engines. An access port atop the device allows to easily start the engine and monitor temperatures while in use. As a safety measure, a 10-minute timer shuts off the heater automatically. The heater comes pre-wired with a T-type connector and includes a crocodile clamp adapter wire.

ProTek R/C Electronic Switch

The ProTek R/C Electronic Switch is of a completely sealed low-profile design so it can be mounted anywhere without fear of dirt and grime working its way in and causing a failure. Built-in voltage cutoff for LiPo receiver packs prevents the battery from becoming deep discharged while a LED on/off indicator gives feedback on the remaining battery capacity. Three mounting lashes allow for easy installation of the switch using the chassis’ personal transponder mount.

ProTek Surpreme Power 100C square LiPo pack

A Main Hobbies introduce the 7.4V 5600mAh 100C square LiPo hardcase battery out of their Supreme Power series of high-performance packs. The “Square” style battery pack is an option for applications that use a side by side saddle pack setup, such as 2WD buggies and stadium trucks. When compared to a saddle pack, the square design eliminates the need for a jumper wire for increased efficiency, and at the same time cleans up the charging station by eliminating cluttered charging cables. The battery pack uses 5mm bullet connectors that can be accessed from either side of the case, allowing you to position the battery terminals in the direction that best suits your application. The battery is not yet ROAR approved, but uses the same hard plastic case that is required for use at ROAR sanctioned tracks and events.
