Team Orion Supercharge XX 8.4V NiMh pack

Team Orion have introduced the Supercharge XX, the company’s latest battery for Traxxas E-Revo VXL and 1/16 Slash VXL cars. Thanks to an additional cell it has 8.4V instead of the standard 7.2V, resulting in more power, better acceleration and more fun. But how do you manage to put one more cell into a battery compartment if the cells are just too big. If you are Team Orion you just build a new, custom made, cell. Thanks to a downsized cell, which has never been sold before, they were able to build a 8.4V NiMh battery pack which fits into the battery compartment of the Traxxas 1/16 cars.

Nosram VTEC LiFe RX packs & CPX tires

Nosram have introduced a number of new items including their new line up of VTEC LiFe receiver packs and their VTEC pre glued Carpet tires. The batteries are a combination of today’s most used battery types, the robustness and impact resistance of NiMh batteries combined with the capacity, long lifetime and weight advantage of a LiPo battery. They also impress with a higher number of charge cycles and higher cell safety compared to LiPos and the further advantage is that it can be used without an extra RX-regulator. The new VTEC CPX tires offer a newly developed high-traction tire specially for indoor carpet racing. The pre-glued tire features a special low-profile design, which prevents traction-roll on medium to high-grip tracks. With the new CPX pre-glued carpet tire, Nosram also offers a wheel for carpet touring car racing that guarantees 100% controlled racing. The answer to all tyre cheating possibilities are the semi-transparent rims, through which you see the inside of the rims, the result is no cheating.
