Spektrum Smart Technology chargers & LiPo batteries

Coming from Horizon Hobby are the new Spektrum Smart Technology chargers and LiPo battery packs. The Spektrum Smart Technology practically takes care of all of the battery’s vital aspects while storing unique data such as chemistry type, cycle count, charge rate, error log, and more, plus programming options to custom tailor the Smart LiPo battery to the owner’s needs. This innovative connection is made possible by an installed microchip on every battery, feeding the unique information through a data cable to the new IC3 and IC5 connectors. Every Smart LiPo battery is factory assembled with the next-generation IC3 or IC5 output connector that’s conveniently compatible with older devices equipped with EC3 and EC5 connectors. Owners can use Smart batteries with non-Smart systems, but only when connected to a Spektrum Smart device will all the benefits of Smart technology become obvious.

JConcepts carpet/astro high-clearance wing

A new high-clearance wing for 1/10th scale buggies has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts. The HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. The durable design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional rear trim-line for a great balance of down-force and low-drag. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tyre rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designer Paul Wynn added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes two pieces per package. Cut-lines are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options to provide racers feel control over one of the most important elements in 1/10th off-road racing.

Traxxas introduce updated E-Revo monster truck

Coming soon from Traxxas is their updated E-Revo electric monster truck that received some subtle changes to further improve power, speed and strength. The truck features a new Maxx-Spec driveline that was inspired by the larger X-Maxx truck with the E-Revo sporting a sturdy all-metal drivetrain with reinforced diffs, gears and driveshafts. Also new for the 2019 E-Revo is self-righting ability that, with the simply press a button on the transmitter, in most circumstances, will bring the truck back on its wheels in just seconds. Armed with a fortified drivetrain, E-Revo’s VXL-6s power system now pounds out more tire-scorching motivation than ever before, all the way to more than 110km/h or 70mph. Advanced design and sophisticated microprocessor control make this the most punchy and reliable high-voltage VXL power system ever. Other features include new, larger Talon EXT wheels and tyres, new, beefier suspension arms, and more.
