Tekin have announced the release of their new RS Gen3 and RS Gen3 Spec 1/10th scale brushless speed controllers. The RS Gen3, with an 8.5T motor limit, brings a suite of enhanced features including better power handling and improved tuning features that give racers a host of adjustments. Standard features include an updated HD solder post design for easy soldering, a high-voltage BEC and HotWire compatibility for extensive tuning. Next generation components put more power at the driver’s disposal and new firmware make the RS Gen3 Tekin’s smoothest, best-driving RS ever.
Coming from MonacoRC is their new Super Power Block 750W power supply. Delivering high output power yet being small in size the 12.6V power supply offers up to 750W of power and due to originally being used in industrial machinery it stands for maximum stability, performance and safety. The device is usable with 100VAC to 240VAC input and it offers three output channels.

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon capacitor mount for many of today’s 1/10th scale speed controllers. Weighing in at only one gram, it allows to fix the capacitor to the ESC without any risk of it falling off. Normally the ESC is a very popular place to stick the capacitor to, as it is off the ground and out of the way, however when the ESC gets hot, it releases the double sided tape and the capacitor can move and fall off. The carbon bracket screws between the fan and the heatsink, then allowing to stick the capacitor to the carbon with a much more reliable mount that ensures the double sided tape stays stuck. It can be rotated or flipped to any side of the ESC desired and two versions for 25mm and 30mm fans with up to 3mm screws are available.
Trinity’s ReVtech X-Factor spec motors are now also available in 13.5T and 17.5T variants. The lightweight motors weigh in at about 144g and they feature composite sensor boards, 0 to 60 degrees timing adjustment, a lightweight coming ring and locking endplate as well as a highly machined 2-piece CNC-machined alloy can and 2mm ultra low resistance solder tabs. The 13.5T variant is BRCA, EFRA and ROAR approved while the 17.5T motor is ROAR approved only. Both motors are built using the TEP1119 12.5×25.5 high torque rotor and they are available as standard race or team spec motors.

German company CS Electronic have introduced their new CSX V2 540-class modified and stock electric brushless motors. Based on the previous CSX the V2 variants offer improved performance, lower energy consumption, lower operation temperatures and a lower weight. At the same time the power curve and drivability have been improved. This was achieved by utilising a new internal design and Ti magnet material. The modified motor is available in 4.0T to 8.5T specification while the stock variant comes in 10.5T to 25.5T windings.
