From Core RC comes this PACE 95R brushless speed control, especially designed for 1S, 3.7V vehicles, such as F1 Stock Cars, GT12 and LMP12. BRCA Legal, it supports 1S LiPo or 3 Cell NiCd/NiMh battery packs. Featuring Forward/Brake with Reverse or Forward/Brake options, it has an adjustable low voltage cut-off protection and easy single step set up system. Sensored or sensorless operation, a fan is included as is a built in one touch On/Off button with LED.
LRP have presented their updated brushed motor series for 2021. While the popular Crawler and Truck Puller motor types have been kept unchanged, the V10 series has been updated to the new Spec.6 and two new motors for scalers and crawlers now complete the line up. The V10 Spec.6 motors are available in five different variants, a 19×2, 17×2, 14×2, 12×2 and 10×2, and feature high-power precision winding, dual bearings, high power magnets, SMD capacitor and are fully rebuildable with adjustable timing. The other two motors are similar in features but come in 55 and 80 turn variants for the very precise throttle control needed for crawling.

Yokomo have introduced their ‘Zero-S’ series of drift motors. Available in 3 colours including black, red and purple, which have been requested by many users to best match with the colours of the YD-2 series of cars. Although it has a slightly more torque, it has a smoother throttle feeling than previous versions, which makes it easier to handle in the low to medium speed range and it is set to make traction control easier in RWD drift cornering and straight.

Yokomo have released a special version of the R160 / R100 speed controller, which is explosively popular due to its smooth throttle feeling, equipped with an original program dedicated to drifting, called ‘Drift Spec’ added. Many users have already installed the conventional R series in drift cars, and especially in RWD drift cars as it seems that the ease of handling in the low speed range and torque can brought out by changing the program, but in the Drift Spec, this is done by default. In addition to optimising the throttle feeling for drift driving, the delay time when shifting from braking to reverse by throttle operation has also been modified, making it even easier to use for drift driving. Of course, if you use with the dedicated programmer R26P, you can easily change the feeling to bring out the optimum characteristics according to the driving conditions and the driver’s preference.

Absima have developed new software for their CTS 10 V3 Revenge and CTS 8 V3 Revenge range of speed controllers. The new V3.1 software now includes two brake profiles, a linear and a dynamic brake control. Whereas the linear brake control features the initial feel and brake strength of the V3 software, the new dynamic brake control features a much stronger brake rate up to 150% and provides a dynamic brake power which can be fully adjusted. The new V3.1 software is available on the Absima homepage.
