Aerox, Schumacher’s accessories brand, has introduced new direct mount brushless servos for the British manufacturer’s Mi9 and FT9 1:10 Touring Cars. The new LP2s version see’s improvements in having a 4 pole Brushless Motor, a super low profile at 23mm, 3mm shorter than the LP1s and now weighs only 47-grams. It also features a titanium output shaft with 50% hardness and toughness increase. The output wire is now from the bottom of the case, making the receiver placement easier. Now compatible with the high-speed mode of major radios and the i-BUS2 protocol of FlySky Radio, remote setup parameters are now possible and it can sense the temperature data on the FlySky NB4+ Pro Radio. Direct mounting servo’s can give a cleaner look and reduce weight. Boasting a full metal case, brushless motor, titanium and steel gears the servo is perfectly specced for the speed and torque requirements of modern touring cars. The LP2s is also available with a longer 180mm wire for the front wheel drive FT9.

1up Racing B7 Upgrade Parts

American RC accessories brand 1up Racing has introduced an all-new line of upgrade parts for the B7 1:10 Buggy from Team Associated. The LowPro Battery Mounts, LowPro Servo Mount, and Lockdown Motor Mount are each made from high-strength 7075 aluminium and finished in black anodising. Mirror chamfers and CNC-engraved 1up logo complete the look of the parts. The mounts feature a simple tool-free swivel mechanism to hold your battery in place. Both LCG post for 20mm tall batteries and Standard post for 25mm post height options are available to fit all popular battery types. The offset holes on the bracket allow you to fine tune the fore & aft battery position. The unique 1-piece LowPro Servo Mount design wraps low around the back instead of covering it up on top, allowing you to proudly show off your favourite servo and actively lower your centre of gravity. The Lockdown Motor Mount isn’t just about looks – instead of using only two screws on a long mounting arm prone to bending, the Lockdown Motor Mount utilises a third screw and includes a Pro Duty Titanium Lockdown Screw for the top of the motor along with a reinforcement bar to ensure it stays true. Even with the added security, the Lockdown mount still comes in lighter than the stock motor mount at only 8.14 grams, thanks to strategically placed weight-saving cutouts.

Team Cayote Crest RS 120 Speed Controller

Following on from the recent release of their Modi Motor, Team Cayote has released its all new Crest RS 120 Speed Controller. Weighing in at just 36 grams, the super light ESC offers an impressive maximum continuous output current of 120A at an astonishing size and weight. Measuring 35.3mm (L) x 30.5mm (W) x 24.5mm (H), it features ultra-thin, windowed cooling N-MOS technology, and integrates the chip core directly with the metal housing, reducing thermal resistance by 35% compared to traditional MOSFETs. This results in higher current output while maintaining 98% efficiency and significantly reducing overall thickness within the same volume. Its thinner profile and lower operating temperature transforms the space saved by eliminating heat sinks into enhanced performance, ensuring exceptional results. Fitted with multiple protection features these include Battery Low Voltage Control, ESC/Motor Limits and Anti-Stall Protection which enhances reliability, and built-in Reverse Polarity Protection. The ESC has adjustable RPM Limiting in the range from 10K to 88K RPM, with adjustable RPM limit increments of 1K RPM. RPM adjustments can be made easily through our BT-link and APP control.
