Dynamite 12VDC nitro engine heater

Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Dynamite 12VDC nitro engine heater for .19 to .32 engines. The device will properly pre-heat the engine to 60°C to 70˚C in approximately ten minutes based on ambient temperatures. It helps to relieve the stress on the crank, connecting rod, piston and sleeve during warm-up. It will also help provide a smooth engine start, with reduced stress on the starter box. Fuel consumption will be reduced, as pilots do not have to spend time and fuel warming up and adjusting the engine. Additionally, a pre-heater glow-plug will increase the life of the plug. It is also perfect for break-in, as it reduces the pinch on a new engine.

Team Powers Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller

Coming soon from Team Powers is the Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller. The 200A-rated ESC features new hardware in the form of higher power FETs for a lower internal resistance and thus increased power supply and lower running temperatures. At 17mm the new aluminium case is 2mm lower than the previous version while also scrubbing about six percent of weight. A new PCB layout design improves stability and reliability and the included new firmware provides the ability to access pre-defined software features – such as limiter, throttle rate, RPM lock, brake limit and throttle settings – using a third or fourth radio channel. Furthermore the controller comes with a 6V/7.4V 5A high-performance BEC system to support power-hungry servos.
