Reedy 40C 1:12 & 1:8 Competition LiPo Batteries

For 1/12th scale Reedy have released an all-new 40C 1S 3.7V LiPo featuring a stepped case that allows bodies to be mounted properly without interfering with the battery. The use of convenient 3.5mm sockets works with the stepped case design to create additional room plus their smaller size reduces weight while their male counterparts more closely match the commonly used 14 and 16 gauge ESC wires. A capacity of 4600 mAh at 40C means long run times and high power for all racing classes. Handy locating tabs allow the battery to fit neatly into existing battery slots and are easily removable (without compromising case strength) for flat chassis applications. Also new from Reedy is their all-new 40C 4S 14.8V LiPo which delivers insane power and extended runtimes thanks to its 40C rating and 5000mAh capacity. This battery fits perfectly in Team Associated’s RC8e, SC8e, and RC8Te and is suitable for use in many other chassis’. For minimum resistance and maximum power delivery, 10 gauge wires are pre-wired and ready to add your favorite connector. Lastly, a 4S balancing harness makes balancing and balance charging simple and convenient.

LRP Vector8 & SPX8 Brushless system

More news from LRP who have released their new 1/8 Brushless System. The new Vector8 brushless modified motor is based on the IFMAR World Championship winning XTEC X12 brushless modified technology. This motor is specifically tailored for 1/8 Off Road racing with its longer teardown with special cooling fins, longer stack, magnet and shaft for higher torque and maximum performance. To control that motor, LRP release the new SPX8 Competition brushless speedo which is based on one of the most successful competition speed controllers, the Sphere Competition TC-Spec. It now features a special 1/8 software and has especially been optimised for the use with 2S-4S LiPo batteries. The result is a high-end speed control that will enthuse the 1/8 electric R/C car scene.

Novak Ballistic Spec Brushless Motors

Novak have released their Ballistic Spec brushless motors in 10.5T – 21.5T, which are completely rebuildable, right down to the hardware. In fact, only one motor is necessary to compete in all spec class races. Simply pick your class of choice, and install the necessary color-coded, hand-wound stator. Each stator includes a factory-installed insert that easily identifies the number of motor winds. To complete the racing package, this next-generation spec motor series contains an easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range and retains previous user settings, allowing for strategic and smart spec racing. Additionally, these sleek motors are built to ROAR/IFMAR specifications, boast a removable shielded sensor harness, and contain a 12.3mm nickel-plated sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in high-temperature conditions.

LRP LiPo Battery Parallel balancer

LRP have released their new LiPo battery parallel balancer, seen last week at the European Championships in Austria. Especially developed for the use of LiPo and LiFe batteries and automatically recognises the cell condition of all 2-5 cell batteries. If the condition of the cells is not equal, an automatic equalizing of the cells starts and balances the cells during charging to ensure all cells are 100% equal. The micro-controller-regulation guarantees a particularly high precision. The balancer is not as positioned between the charger and the battery as usual, but is connected in parallel and therefore there is no influence on the charger and its functions.
