LRP A.i. Runner Reverse V2 controller

Team Associated announce the LRP A.i. Runner Reverse V2 brushed speed controller. The revised speedo is 100 percent waterproof and features LRP’s exclusive True Automatic technology, that makes push button setup completely unnecessary. The speed control immediately learns the individual transmitter settings right after it is switched on and is perfectly set up for every run with the correct neutral, full- speed forward, and full-speed reverse transmitter settings. The controller also incorporates a build-in fail safe to bring the car to a halt in case of an interference, empty transmitter battery or if the model is outside the radio range.

Team-Powers XPS speed control V1.1

Team-Powers have released information on the updated V1.1 version of their XPS Speed Control. A pretty standard affair, the unit will support all kinds of sensor/sensorless brushless 540 type motors and its XPS Pro and Sport has Turbo mode function that can support modified and stock mode motors directly. To make it easy for users to adapt the settings to all different track sizes and conditions, it comes supplied with an LCD setting card that allows you to adjust the throttle/brake profile parameters directly. For the throttle profile, it can adjust the power band, punch, timing and turbo boost parameter to control the power delivery to the motor. In order to make the ESC lighter, the lower casing will change to plastic but will keep the aluminium casing on the upper side to disperse heat.
