Mark Young wins at RugRacers Rd3

Round 3 of the popular RugRacers electric on-road series was held in Herts, UK last weekend. The race saw the running of Touring Stock, FWD and MTC classes and the latter had Mark Young taking the FTQ and pole position for the 2-leg final. Leg 1 saw most of the field squabbling at the start and by the end of the race Mark was a quarter of a lap in front of 2nd place so it was a comfortable win for him. Leg 2 saw a much cleaner start than leg 1 and after five minutes with all but one lap being under 12 seconds Mark took an easy win, practically a lap in front of the 2nd place driver. Behind Mark it was Josh Moore on the runner-up spot as Jack Anderson came in 3rd to round out the top result.

Performa P1 Controller 150A ESC

Performa Racing’s P1 150A Sensor/Sensorless Controller was developed to deliver unmatched power, performance and reliability for demanding 1/8th scale racing applications. Built with high quality components and loaded with cutting edge firmware, the 150A-rated 2S to 6S LiPo-compatible ESC will protect itself from damage due to abuse, overuse, and even human error. With a high power output and adjustable parameters, the controller delivers the smooth throttle response and linear throttle/brake control even in demanding racing conditions. It also features an integrated HV BEC with 4 Amp output current, and adjustable output voltage from 6 to 8.4V. The Performa cooling technology utilises heat conductive copper bars to rapidly and effectively transfer all internal heat from the MosFET board to the integrated CNC machined billet aluminium heatsink housing. The cooling fan utilises a shock proof mounting system that reduces the possibility of fan damage due to the repeated shock of landing jumps in an 1/8 scale off road environment. The speedo also features an electronic switch, allowing settings from an integrated button while even easier programming is accessible using an optional programming box.
