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.

Yokomo Max Power 6000mAh & 5300mAh LiPo batteries

Yokomo have introduced their new Max Power 6000mAh and 5300mAh LiPo battery packs. Starting with the 6000mAh variant, the battery is built from high-performance 100C-rated cells for maximum power output in modified and stock touring classes. In addition the low centre of gravity design ensures faster cornering compared to a standard height pack due to a lowered overall centre of gravity. The second new pack is an economically-priced 5300mAh battery of standard dimensions and built from high-quality 50C cells. The battery can be used in a variety of classes.
