Reedy SC800-BL sensorless brushless controller

Reedy’s all-new SC800-BL Brushless ESC is splash-proof for maximum durability and features a compact footprint that allows for easy installation in most 1/10th scale vehicles. The SC800-BL is standard equipment in Team Associated’s ProSC 4×4 and is the perfect replacement for RTR speed controllers thanks to its ease of setup and simple forward/brake/reverse operation. When paired with Reedy brushless motors, a potent combination of power and efficiency is created, resulting in quick acceleration, high top speeds, generous run times, and more fun.

SkyRC Toro Beast large scale brushless controller

SkyRC introduce the Toro Beast, a dedicated brushless speed controller for large scale electric vehicles. The 200A rated ESC is usable with 4S to 8S LiPo battery packs and it is housed in a sturdy aluminium case for protection and improved heat dissipation. Mounting lugs help to securely fasten the motor to the chassis or radio plate. An internal BEC system allows for a standard 6V or high voltage 7.4V output and a whooping 15A to feed even the most power-hungry large scale servos. Also part of the package is a data logging function that measures and records parameters such as battery voltage, amp draw, motor RPM and the controller’s temperature. On top of that the speed is widely adjustable using the SkyLink PC interface, the WiFi Module or SkyRC’s Progbox.

RC Concept 1/10th electric brushless motor & ESC

French company RC Concepts introduce a 540-class electric brushless motor and a 120A brushless speed controller, both aimed at 1/10th scale applications. Starting with the EC called motor, it is based around a T6 aluminium can with venting openings for a low overall weight and efficient cooling of the internals. The magnets are of a high-performance neodymium type and the motor offers dual sensor ports, a heatsink timing plate and heavy duty solder tabs. To comply with a wide range of applications the motor is available as 5.5T to 10.5T modified and as a 13.5T stock class variant.

Etronix 150A watt meter & power analyser

New from Etronix comes the 150A watt meter and power analyser that helps to prevent peak current damages of batteries, speed controllers, motors, wirings and connectors as it measures and analyses a range of parameters such as ampere, voltage, watt, ampere-hours and watt-hours. It comes in handy when setting cut-off voltages and to check battery capacity and health. Other applications include battery charger operation checks as well as receiver and servo current measurement of multi-servo applications. The compact device measures 85x42x25m, it weighs in at 82g and features a backlit 16×2 LC display.

Muchmore Fleta 1S Brushless ESC

The speed controller that won last year’s 1/12th Worlds in Florida, driving by Marc Rheinard, Muchmore have released the Fleta 1S Brushless ESC. Coming pre set with the same setting used by the German, the Fleta 1S features a continuous 120A current and up to 830A in burst and as the name suggest can handle no larger than 1S LiPo battery. The case features their Flow-Max cooling design the with upper, middle and bottom case made from aluminium giving it better heat dissipation and allowing higher current. The built in DC-DC Booster BEC helps maintain a super stable voltage until the end of the race.
