SkyRC D100 AC/DC multi-chemistry charger

SkyRC introduce the D100 AC/DC dual output multi-chemistry charger. Offering two independent 100W outputs the device is housed in a compact case with a large cooling fan, tilt stands and a large, back-lit display. The menu is operated using five buttons and the charger sports two internal balancer and temperature sensor ports, as well as a micro USB and a 2.1A/5V USB port. The charger offers several safety features such as an automatic charge current and capacity limit, it can store up to ten different charge/discharge profiles, it checks the battery’s internal resistance and allows to adjust the charge end voltage including a new LiHV mode for the latest generation of LiPo batteries that are good for a charge end voltage of 4.35V. On top of that the D100 can be controlled using SkyRC’s Charge Master PC software or the Wi-Fi module and your iOS or Android smartphone.

SkyRC Toro Beast large scale brushless controller

SkyRC introduce the Toro Beast, a dedicated brushless speed controller for large scale electric vehicles. The 200A rated ESC is usable with 4S to 8S LiPo battery packs and it is housed in a sturdy aluminium case for protection and improved heat dissipation. Mounting lugs help to securely fasten the motor to the chassis or radio plate. An internal BEC system allows for a standard 6V or high voltage 7.4V output and a whooping 15A to feed even the most power-hungry large scale servos. Also part of the package is a data logging function that measures and records parameters such as battery voltage, amp draw, motor RPM and the controller’s temperature. On top of that the speed is widely adjustable using the SkyLink PC interface, the WiFi Module or SkyRC’s Progbox.

SkyRC nitro engine heater

SkyRC now have a nitro engine heater available. Fitting all .19 to .26 nitro engines, the heater is powered by a 12VDC power source such as respective battery packs or a power supply and it pre-heats the engine to 60°C to 70°C within 10 minutes. Pre-heating a nitro engine will result in less “pinch”, the engine is easier to start and both the engine and glow plug will wear less compared to a “cold” start. Made from tough fabric an upper access port allows to insert a glow plug igniter or thermometer. Included with the heater comes a XT60 DC adapter wire.
