SkyRC Toro SC120A brushless speed controller

SkyRC introduce the Toro SC120 Competition brushless speed controller. Designed for the use in 4WD short course trucks the speed is able to handle up to 4S LiPo set-ups, it features a 6V/3A linear BEC system and it works with sensored and sensorless motors. The case measures 57x38x35mm and it can be taken apart to replace the internal fan unit while the heavy-duty gold-plated solder towers allow the use even of very thick silicone wires. The on/off switch is of a dust-protected electric type and the controller is highly adjustable using 10 user-modifiable profiles that can be tweaked using an optional programming box or a PC interface.

Serpent SRX2 alloy & brass options

Serpent have first aluminium and brass option parts for the Spyder SRX2 rear motor buggy available. First up are two front bulkhead, one from lightweight aluminium, the other made from heavier brass. Both include 20°, 25° and 30° composite inserts to change the overall castor angle of the front wheels in order to fine-tune the steering characteristics while the different weights of the bulkheads allow to alter the overall weight distribution. Also new is the RR FR brass suspension bracket, a replacement for the standard aluminium part. The mount works with the standard suspension inserts while adding weight when needed. Last but not least comes the 23g bulkhead weight that adds another tuning option when running on low-bite or bumpy surfaces. All parts are available now.

Schumacher Cougar KF 2WD buggy

Schumacher introduce their latest 1/10 2WD buggy kit in the form of the Cougar KF.
