Absima Cube 2.0 AC multi-chemistry charger

Absima from Germany have introduced their forthcoming new Cube 2.0 AC multi-chemistry charger. Of a simple design the compact device allows to charge 2S and 3S LiXX as well as one to eight-cell NiXX batteries, making it ideal especially for nitro racers who can conveniently fill modern transmitter as well as receiver batteries without having to carry around full-blown competition chargers. The display-less charger is less prone to be damaged due to dust and dirt with charge current selection being carried out by a simple sliding switch. An integrated 2S to 3S LiPo balancer makes for secure charging of Lithium batteries while the auto-detect NiXX program allows to charge old school NiMH battery packs. The charger comes including connection wires and it will hit stores in March.

RC Maker T4’20 GeoCarbon HD bumper stopper brace

RC Maker have announced the release of their new GeoCarbon heavy duty bumper stopper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Designed to be used as either a replacement on RC Maker’s standard bumper stopper, or inserted under any other brands carbon bumper mount, the increased 5mm thickness makes the brace incredibly strong and more impact prone in heavy crashes. This allows the carbon stopper to reach lower, leaving carbon above and below the central impact zone, making it less prone to any de-lamination in big hits, preventing damage to the chassis. The part comes machined from high-quality 5mm carbon fibre and it integrates under any carbon bumper on the market.

Reedy Zappers SG3 Competition 2S LiHV batteries

Reedy have introduced their new Zappers SG3 Competition 2S LiHV batteries for the 2020 season. They feature state-of-the-art silicon graphene LiPo cell chemistry with an emphasis on lower internal resistance with improved durability and cycle-life, resulting in more power, improved durability, and high capacity for exceptional performance. Zappers SG3 batteries feature a 7.6 nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. Even when the typical 8.40V charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG3 cells shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. The standard footprint stick line-up includes a 9600mAh 85C Stick (25.1mm/335g), 8200mAh 115C Stick (25.1mm/318g), 6000mAh 115C LP Stick (22.5mm/270g), and 5500mAh 85C ULP (19.5mm/230g). The shorty line up feature a 6100mAh 85C (25.1mm/225g), 4800mAh 115C (25.1mm/205g), 4100mAh 85C LP (18.5mm/155g), and a 3600mAh 115C LP (18.5mm/154g) battery pack. A high quality, durable hard case helps prevent damage while embedded socket connectors keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum. Male ESC connectors are included.
