New from Muchmore comes super flexible high current 16AWG wire that comes in handy especially for 1/10th and 1/12th scale classes. The thin diameter and highly flexible silicone insulation will greatly reduce the chance of unwanted chassis and power pod tweaking while still allowing high currents as experienced in modified racing. The black colour wire comes in coils of 100cm.

New from Muchmore comes a LiPo safety bag with built-in heating system to maintain a certain battery temperature while charging in cold ambient temperatures. Keeping the inside at a constant 30 degree Celsius the bag helps to raise the battery’s performance which can be helpful especially when racing stock classes. The heating system works in a voltage range of 7.4V to 13.8V and it is housed in a proper, fire-resistant safety bag. While a safety bag for charging and discharging duties is mandatory at many tracks you may need to check if the track’s or race series’ rules allow the battery heating devices.
