OfficinaRC universal LCG battery plate

OfficinaRC have announce the release of their new LCG universal battery plate, designed to get the most out of the new generation of LiPo batteries. With especially LCG batteries becoming lighter, it is often necessary to add weight to the battery side of the chassis in order to achieve a correct 50/50 left to right weight bias. OfficinaRC’s new 0.6mm brass battery plate weighs in at 32g, allowing to add substantial weight without loosing the advantages of LCG battery packs. The plate can be fixed directly to the chassis or battery, using optional ultra thin tape.

Wild Turbo Fan Blow Harder 30mm fan

Wild Turbo Fan have introduced their new Blow Harder 30mm fan unit. The 12mm thick fan features an industry first nine exhaust fins design which generates the twisting wind pattern for focused air flow, hence more air to cool the object. With the nine exhaust fins design the support structure between the case and the core has been increased, and together with thicker side walls the case is much stronger compared to a standard 30mm fan. A round lip is also moulded into the intake side of the fan to further smooth out air flow. Last but not least, all the fan unit is manufactured with all new electronics.

Intellect 2019 LiHV HV4 silicon-graphene battery range

UK Intellect distributors Schumacher have introduced the new 2019 range of LiHV competition battery packs. The updated LiHV HV4 Silicon-Graphene based packs will display a higher voltage and power than 2018 models while offering improved cycle time when charged at 1C rates. They can be charged at a higher C rating however, with less risk of damage to the pack. LIHV technology has the ability to be charged to 4.35v per cell, but normal racing regulations allow up to 4.2v so LiHV are considered much safer. To address market demands two options nominally are available in the form of Hi Power and Long RunTime packs. The range includes a 6000mAh high power LCG standard pack (22.5mm height, 270g), a 7000mAh long runtime standard pack (22.5mm, 270g), a 7600mAh lightweight stock standard pack (25.1mm, 305g), and a 8400mAh high power big stock standard pack (25.1mm, 330g).
