Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 LiPo packs

Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 5200mAh LiPo packs

Coming from Muchmore are two new 5200mAh LiPo battery packs. First up is the Impact HV FD2 5200mAh 110C LiHV battery, made using the latest generation LiHV cells with a higher nominal voltage. Using LiHV-compatible chargers a 2S pack can be charged up to 8.7V allowing for higher output voltage. LiHV packs are also good to be charged to the standard 8.4V for sanctioned races with the flat discharge curve compared to regular packs making for more punch towards the end of a run. The pack measures a standard 138×46.5mm but the reduced height of 22.3mm makes for an overall lower centre of gravity. The hardcase battery pack is equipped with 4mm bullet-type connectors.

Muchmore Fleta Pro V2 brushless speed controller

Muchmore Fleta Pro V2 brushless speed controller

Coming soon from Muchmore is the Fleta Pro V2 brushless speed controller. The upgraded ESC features the all-new Flow-Max2 aluminium heatsink case that now only improves heat dissipation but it also allows to route the receiver and switch wires on the left or right hand side of the case, depending on the preferred layout. Additionally the on/off switch is now of a plug-able design, allowing to use it or to leave it away – the latter leaves the controller permanently switched on. The option of dropping the switch makes for an overall cleaner wiring while also eliminating a possible error source. Also new with the V2 is the ability to use a fan extension wire to power an additional motor fan without soldering it to the battery terminals and on top of this the speedo now supports HV servos by offering a powerful 6V/7.4V 8A BEC system.
