Sunpadow 4S 6700mAh & 6300mAh LiPo battery packs

Sunpadow have announced the release of their new 6700mAh and 6300mAh 4S LiPo battery packs. Both batteries use an integrated hardcase design with a built-in balance port, which makes the charging process more convenient and reliable. Moreover, the new design further reduced the overall internal resistance of the batteries, making them ideal for power-hungry 1/8th scale classes. The batteries also have a smoother discharge curve, to give better consistency between the first and second half of the race.

Reedy 1416-C2L Dual AC/DC competition balance charger

Associated Electrics have introduced the new Reedy 1416-C2L Dual AC/DC competition balance charger. The device features a high-performance microprocessor, specialised operating software, and many advanced features make it the perfect charging solution for new hobbyists, casual enthusiasts, or hardcore racers. Simultaneous charging of two batteries at up to 14A is possible thanks to a powerful integrated power supply. Storage of up to 10 different charge profiles per channel allows for easy access to your most commonly used settings. End Voltage Control gives racers an added option to regulate power output and calibrate voltage, while 1S Balance Mode results in accurate voltage readings when charging 1S batteries. Safety has not been overlooked with the 1416-C2L thanks to its lithium-specific charging scheme that requires balance charging in modes appropriate for lithium batteries. Nitro racers haven’t been overlooked thanks to a specific mode designed for single-cell NiMH igniter batteries. In addition to its long list of powerful features, the 1416-C2L features an attractive exterior with a compact footprint and front-facing outputs to maximise pit space.

GForce Burst Sonic 540-class brushless motor

GForce have introduced their new Burst Sonic 540-class electric brushless modified and stock motors. They build around a minimalistic machined aluminium can with an exposed and specially coated stator for improved cooling in high ambient temperatures while the internal design makes for greatly increased overall torque which is further helped by the use of 13mm rotors. The motor also features adjustable timing, dual sensor ports for easier and tidier wire routing, heavy-duty gold-plated solder tabs as well as laser-engraved graphics. The modified range includes 5.5T to 8.5T variants while the stock motors come as 10.5T to 21.5T variants all of which utilise 7.2mm inner diameter rotors for sharper response to throttle input.

Castle Creations 1717 1650kV sensored motor

Coming from Castle Creations is their new 1717 series 1Y 1650kV sensored brushless motor that is ideal for heavier 1/8th vehicles and lighter 1/6th scale vehicles running up to 8S. Castle’s first new 17 series motor in over a decade now has an improved 4-pole 12-slot design that boasts exceptional efficiency and produces less heat. It is the perfect upgrade for any 1/6th scale vehicles weighing up to 20 lbs and running up to 8S LiPo; it is also a great upgrade for drivers looking for a reliable, high torque 8S motor for their 1/8th scale vehicles. Running modes include sensored and an ultra-efficient sensorless mode, high-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with High-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions, and oversized NMB bearings and a vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible. And proprietary winding techniques allow to produce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance, resulting in a cooler running motor.
