RC Concept have announce these new Omega HV LiPo batteries which have a higher nominal voltage (3.8V vs 3.7V) and can be charged up to 4.35V/Cell. The higher voltage allows for more performance and more capacity for the same battery size, they are the next step of LiPo battery technology. With the HV LiPo batteries, the discharge curve is flatter, meaning the cells maintain higher voltage throughout the discharge cycle, without significant drop off. Available in stick pack HV 8000Mah 120C and shorty pack HV 4800Mah 120C versions.
RC Concept have introduced their all-new SC10R 1/10th brushless speed controller.

On top of this help Japanese-made high-power FETs to efficiently use the power of today’s high-performance LiPo and LiHV batteries. The water and dust protected ESC is easily programmable using RC Concept’s EC Box or PC software and it has already proven its capabilities by coming in 3rd at this week’s EFRA 2WD European Championship in the hands of Reno Savoya.
