Team Powers Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller

Coming soon from Team Powers is the Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller. The 200A-rated ESC features new hardware in the form of higher power FETs for a lower internal resistance and thus increased power supply and lower running temperatures. At 17mm the new aluminium case is 2mm lower than the previous version while also scrubbing about six percent of weight. A new PCB layout design improves stability and reliability and the included new firmware provides the ability to access pre-defined software features – such as limiter, throttle rate, RPM lock, brake limit and throttle settings – using a third or fourth radio channel. Furthermore the controller comes with a 6V/7.4V 5A high-performance BEC system to support power-hungry servos.

Rebellion-RC X1 V2 multi-wheelbase chassis

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a new V2 carbon fibre multi-wheelbase chassis for the Xray X1 series of formula cars. The chassis allows for four different wheelbase settings with standard 0mm, and additional +3.3mm, +6.6mm, and +9.9mm options available. In the 0mm original wheelbase setting the front wing sits an additional 5mm towards the front, meaning the +9mm setup has the wing 4.9mm closer to the front wheels. This allows for a much wider setup window in terms of weight distribution with the +9.9mm setup offering the same corner speed as the original wheelbase with improved overall stability as the team found out during the recent round of the Mibosport Cup. Included in the set are also the sidelink mounts, the upper deck brace as well as the body mount. The chassis is usable for the 2015 to 2019 variants of the X1 and it is available in more than ten different colour weaves. The V2 variant, a running change to the original design offers a wider front end section around the rear A-arm mounting area for even greater durability.
