TestLogger Collector Mini v1.1 and new Midi

Finnish RC data company TestLogger, who are behind the Manager v3 software, has launched two data logging main units for RC cars.  The Collector Mini v1.1 adds a second analog input while keeping the same dimensions and the same price as the original Mini while the Collector Midi is a new unit with six analog inputs.  Both come with an improved lap receiver that can be mounted behind a painted bodyshell.  The two units also carry more measurement capacity than the ones they follow, and that is the first step in expanding the Collector portfolio’s measurement capabilities, including damper position sensors in the coming weeks.  The Collector Mini v1.1 has two analog inputs, one more than the original Mini. Analog inputs take TestLogger’s temperature and voltage sensors, so a second sensor goes on the car without giving anything up to make room for it. The main unit dimensions are unchanged, so existing installations, mounts and wiring carry over, and the price is unchanged as well.  Collector Midi has six analog inputs, four more than the Mini v1.1. Despite the increased amount of inputs, the footprint is only 5 mm longer. Everything else in the system, from the software to the sensors, is shared with the Mini.

JConcepts Cat PB Dragonator body

Having brought back a little of the 2000’s look to 1:10 offroad buggy racing with the release of the Dragonator body shell, JConcepts has added a variant for the latest Schumacher Cat PB 1:10 4WD Buggy.  The new body is heavily inspired by the early 2000’s dynamo.  With the 1:10 buggy class is ruled primary by JConcepts performance bodies such as the S2, F2, P2, and S15, for the new season of offroad racing Jason Ruona and his Florida company got a bit more creative and sculpted this angular shell stating the ‘Cab forward, cab rearward, the debate lives on, but the Dragonator is something different’.  A good portion of the new shell is all cab, the narrow front develops width as it reaches the rear, up to a specialty fin where it picks up stability.  The long swooping side windows provide an aggressive stance that all converges to the front like an arrow.  The power pods are raised in advanced territory directing and channeling flow over the centre of the chassis and through to the rear.  The heavy inner edge of the power pods is a hard stop but ultimately the defining concept of the new item.  The decreasing radius portion of the back of the cab is unique, created to ride low-profile on the track surface and equalise the front to rear bias of the all-cab concept.  Stepped rear “doghouse” serves as the termination point of the windows and positions it just before the rear tower.  The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness.

RC Discharger Introduces Battery Benchmark Software

US based battery discharger specialist RC Discharger has introduced a new battery-testing platform called Battery Benchmark developed for Windows and Android and designed exclusively for RC Discharger regenerative dischargers.  Instead of relying on labels, advertised specifications or guesswork, racers can now test two LiPo batteries side by side under identical conditions and see the real differences in their performance.  Key features include dual-channel, side-by-side battery testing with Live voltage and temperature curves.  It also provides capacity and internal-resistance analysis with detailed, directly comparable result sheets.  Other elements of the platform include automatic test archiving, unique identification for every battery, multi-battery comparisons, battery cycling programs, and ready-to-use break-in routines.  RC Discharger Battery Benchmark is currently entering beta for Windows and Android. iPhone and iPad support is planned, and many additional features are already in development.  Beta access is available exclusively for customers using RC Discharger regenerative dischargers.  A compatible temperature sensor is mandatory, and Android systems require the RC Discharger USB Benchmark Adapter.

Dim3nsion by JP Medius X26 1.5mm Topdeck

Germany’s Dim3nsion by JP has released a new 1.5 mm carbon topdeck for the Serpent Medius X26 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Expanding the chassis setup options with a more flexible alternative to the standard topdeck, the reduced material thickness allows the chassis to flex more.  This additional flex can be particularly beneficial in lower-grip track conditions, helping to generate more mechanical grip and a smoother, more predictable handling characteristic.  The topdeck is available in two different versions with the Standard 1.5 mm you get the classic geometry with reduced material thickness. It provides more flex compared to a stiffer topdeck configuration, giving you an additional option to fine-tune the chassis for different track conditions.  The Wave 1.5 mm is designed to provide even more flex, creating another level of adjustment for your chassis setup.
