CS Electronic contacted us to tell everyone about their new speed controller, the Rocket Competition. Suitable for modified and stock classes as it offers six modified programs and 3 stock profiles and it can handle all motors, down to super hot 2.5T. Its 9 profiles can be easily selected and if you wish to modify these profiles, you can, but this needs an extra interface to do so. It can be used with sensored and sensorless motors, and it can handle 4-7 cells with automatic LiPo detection and a neat feature of this ESC is that it has a plug in receiver cable, so just like the sensor cable, you can create a neat installation using the correct cable length instead of have to tie wrap a big bundle of wire. Supplied with cooling fan, short receiver cable and sensor cable.
