3DRC 30mm Fan Booster super short

3DRC’s popular 30mm Fan Booster is now also available in a super short variant. Designed for all electric touring cars with limited space behind the motor the super short variant also comes in handy when mounting the fan in front of the motor or when less weight is needed in the rear part of the chassis. Like the standard length variant the Fan Booster will channel the cooling air created by the fan towards the motor can for optimised cooling and less motor power fading during a run. The part is usable with most 30mm fans and it is available directly through 3DRC’s Shapeways store.

RC-Cox 5mm LiPo battery safety plugs

PPM RC Racing have introduced the new RC-Cox 5mm LiPo battery safety plugs. Made from a soft material the plugs were designed to cover the unused openings of through-type LiPo battery connector tubes, keeping them from becoming dirty and damaged while also avoiding putting the battery in the car the wrong way around which can result in short circuits during hectic plug in routines. The plugs are easy to remove yet strong enough to not fall off even when the going gets tough and they come in sets of ten, enough to outfit five 5mm connector battery packs.
