Hobbywing Tunalyzer Motor Tuner

Describing it as ‘The next-generation tool for motor testing and tuning’ Hobbywing has unveiled the Tunalyzer Motor Tuner. It is used to test the brushless DC motor and its internal components and can measure the Kv value, rpm, current, end-bell timing and sensor elements of the brushless motor. These parameters can be is played on the LCD in real time, so that you can have an intuitive and full understanding of the motor used.

MIBO Drift King Servos

Mibo has just released 2 servos types aimed specifically for use in 1:10 scale RWD RC Drift cars. Available in a 33kg and 18kg option, the servos are extra powerful and quick programmable digital low-profile brushless servo with steel gear and double BB-ed output shaft. All-aluminium case for perfect cooling under high load. The 18Kg servo was tested specifically for a competition RWD Drift cars. The brushless motor provides enough torque in order to keep the car stable at an angle and on quick transitions. Offered in a range of vibrant colours, what really sets the 33Kg model apart from other RWD servos, is its exceptional power. At standard BEC voltages, the torque value is almost double what most other servos are able to produce. Thanks to this, the front wheels are rock solid in holding the line and angle. Keeping the same speed of initiation and transitions, it maintains stability of the car and removes any unwanted twitching from overshooting angle and returning back. Smooth operation and gyro signal filtering are then a matter of course, with the brushless motor and modern software. Modern software ensures a perfect gyro signal filtration for a smooth drive, without steering hunting. It is programmable using the USB programmer/interface for MIBO servo and PC software. You can set your own values for parameters, such as Servo angle, Servo neutral, Damping, Output power, Sensitivity, Soft start, Reverse, etc. Plus you have an option to enable SANWA SSR, or FUTABA SR mode.

New Iris ONE Touring Car

After a few teasers over the last few weeks, touring car newcomers Iris has unveiled the ONE competition car kit fully developed and designed by RUDDOG. Project lead designer Andreas Myrberg implemented countless novel and revolutionary features into the all-new Iris ONE. Featuring a unique pushrod design with torsion springs and a single-lever rotational shocks, the centre-of-gravity is super low, thus improving overall performance. Combined with sturdy double wishbones, the high-performance suspension package ensures fast and consistent lap times run after run. Moreover, the newly developed pitch and heave shock improves handling under braking and high speed cornering. Together with an ultra-narrow bulkhead design, the efficient three-belt drive train results in perfect weight balance. With three identical belts, less belt tension is required than with a conventional two-belt set-up. Many unique details, such as an optional direct-mount aluminium fan, have been integrated into the design of Iris ONE to give you an edge over the competition.
