Ruddog Racing RXS brushless speed controller

Ruddog Racing proudly presents the RXS brushless controller. The state-of-the-art ESC is the result of more than two years of development and testing. Packaged in a black-anodised all-aluminium case, a 32 bit processor and the latest FET technology provide an ideal basis for punchy and smooth power delivery, and a strong but sensitive brake function. Thanks to its integrated power button and an exchangeable receiver cable, clean and tidy installation is easier than ever before. In addition to the included fan, the aluminium case and low-resistance solder posts also improve heat dissipation. Settings can be adjusted with the optional program card to tailor the RXS to various track conditions and driving styles, both in highly competitive modified and stock racing.

Yokomo BD10F stabiliser set & competition capacitor

Two new items from Yokomo, the first of which is a rear stabiliser set for the new BD10F FWD touring car. Since the rear stabiliser is not standard equipment on the BD10F, this set is effective when you want to improve steering response and improve performance on high-grip road surfaces. Three types of stabiliser bars (1.2, 1.3, 1.4mm) are included. Also new is a capacitor for racing that maximises the performance of your ESC. When the load becomes high due to sudden throttle operation it supplements the electric power and enhances the acceleration. Each cord is attached to the battery ± terminal of ESC, but since it is non-polar, it can be used regardless of which pole it is attached to.

Hobbywing XeRun D10 drift series motors

Following the release of their drift specific XeRun XD10 Pro ESC, Hobbywing have now introduced these new drift series XeRun D10 motors. Like the ESC the motor is also available in black, red and purple. Internally, the new motor stator is optimised for drift and improves motor efficiency in drift applications. A built-in high-precision sensor board, combined with drift-specific fan rotors, provide excellent motor linearity and drivability while greatly improves motor efficiency. The 10.5T motor weighs approximately 158g while the 13.5T is at 165g (including 3 gold insert weights). The lightweight motor allows user to easily tweak their weight bias on their car. A neat feature is the the rotor is equipped with a fan that provides great heat dissipation. The special-shaped gold fan on the rotor cools the motor while making a pleasant sound, especially when Turbo is turned on. Optional rotors are available. The motor comes factory soldered with high quality 3.5mm banana plug for easy access swap to different motors with the 3.5mm male also included in the XD10 ESC.

Hobbywing XeRun XD10 Pro ESC

Hobbywing have introduced their first drift specific speed controller, the XeRun XD10 Pro. Available in black, red and purple, they match a large majority of the drift chassis colour ways on the market. The 32-bit M4 processor is equipped with powerful software, features new programmable parameters and it is optimised for drift applications. The new parameters such as, initial start-up force adjustment, 48K ultra-high drive frequency, and 24K ultra-high brake frequency ensures excellent drivability. It is tailored to extract and maximise performance for high-end drifters. The stylish aluminium fan is powerful and helps to massively cool down the ESC, while the ultra-soft 13AWG silicone wire is ultra-flexible and low in resistance. The built-in BEC is able to support both high torque and high voltage servos and can be adjustable at 5.0-7.4V (adjusted to 0.1V/step).

Ruddog aluminium high-speed ESC cooling fans

Ruddog Product’s aluminium high-speed ESC cooling fans combine cool looks and low ESC operating temperatures. With their aluminium housing, they not only look better than the usual plastic fans, they are also stiffer, which ensures long life and adds reliability, a huge potential advantage in hot conditions.  The fans are available in sizes of 25 mm and 30 mm to offer an option for most ESCs on the market.

Maclan M32e Pro 200 ESC & MR8.4 series motor

Maclan Racing have introduced their new M32e Pro 200 Competition 1/8th ESC and all-new MR8.4 series motor for 1/8th competition applications. The M32e Pro 200 is purpose-built for the 1/8th scale eBuggy and eTruggy applications with upgraded internal components ensuring the operating temperature is lower than its predecessor. With silicon coating on the circuit boards, the M32e also offers better durability for the 1/8th scale competition environment. It utilises a full aluminium case that ensures maximum thermal dissipation and extreme durability and the 30mm HV turbo ESC fan provides that extra insurance to cool down the ESC in extreme ambient conditions. The super-switch-mode BEC is designed to handle true HV for all types of servos from 6V to 8.4V.

Sunpadow Platin 5400mAh & 5500mAh packs

Sunpadow have released two new Platin series LiPo batteries, which consists of a 7.4V 5500mAh ULCG battery and a 7.4V 5400mAh shorty battery. Compared to the previous gold 5300mAh and 4500mAh packs, under the same size respectively, these two new products have significantly improved discharge rate as well as capacity. The use of newly developed super conductive materials can greatly reduce the common swelling of LiPo batteries. The Platin 5500mAh ULCG battery is perfectly suitable for 1/10 TC Modified, especially on small to medium sized tracks, while the Platin 5400mAh shorty battery is suitable for F1, FWD and some 1/10 and 1/8th scale  off-road applications. The new shorty pack features an increased capacity of nearly 20%, compared to its previous version, it also can be an option for some 1/8 on-road cars.
