Muchmore Fleta Pro V2 1S ESC

New from Muchmore is their 1S Fleta Pro V2 ESC. As the name suggests this speedo is suitable for use with 1S batteries and therefore aimed at 1/12th scale use. Made using a full aluminium case for better heat dissipation and therefore able to have higher current, its internal switch makes the wiring simpler as it removes the need for an external switch. A very small footprint (30.5 x 36.5 x 16.5mm) allows more options for its placement thus making balancing your car easier.

Arrowmax Dash TLAB Mode standard combo kit

Arrowmax have introduced their Dash TLAB Mode Standard Combo Kit (RED) for the Dash AI Pro and upcoming Dash AI LCG esc. With this new function you are able to give access to the outlaw boost and turbo within the popular Stock “Blinky” class racing. Starting out with just a regular “Blinky” class esc, drivers are given a pre-set time limit were they are able to use the Boost and turbo function, just like Modified, within that pre-set time limit. The Dash ESC will have an added feature that can be activated by the 3rd channel on the radio. After the time limit has expired the ESC will return to the “Blinky” mode just like any regular speed control.

Yeah Racing Wind Pressurizer cooling fan booster

Coming from Yeah Racing is their new Wind Pressuriser, a cooling fan booster for 30mm speed controller fans. Machined from aluminium the part will greatly improve cooling efficiency as it not only maximised the air flow but also acts as an additional heatsink. The booster is made of black anodised aluminium and it is best used in applications that are less sensitive to a slightly higher centre of gravity such as 1/10th drift cars.
