Dash AI Pro V2 brushless speed controller

Coming from Dash is the AI Pro V2 brushless speed controller. Based on the previous model the V2 variant features state-of-the-art 32 bit micro-controlling and a robust software with the signature black and golden all-aluminium case improving heat dissipation. The redesigned case is now also smaller and lighter, minimising the overall weight and lowering the centre of gravity. The Reedy Race winning ESC was developed and tested with the help of Viktor Wilck and Nicholas Lee with a focus on smooth power delivery needed for modified racing as well as exceptional power efficiency for stock racing. Other features include a high-voltage 30mm turbo fan, an adjustable 6V to 7V high-voltage BEC system as well as interchangeable A-B-C motor connector configurations.

Felix Law wins at rain-affected HKRCSA Rd2

Round 2 of the HKRCSA EP Series was held at the Tom Racing Circuit in Hong Kong last weekend. Serpent’s Felix Law was in control of things in the Touring Modified class qualifiers, taking three of the four rounds for the overall TQ from Q4 winner, Xray’s Kevin Lau. Awesomatix driver, Fai Ho came in 3rd with three 2nd place finished. Unfortunately the race director had to call the event a day after the qualifiers as heavy rain made it impossible to run the final legs, meaning the overall results would be based on the qualifying results, handing Felix the win from Lau and Fai with Lau taking the runner-up spot in the tie-breaker with Fai.
