GForce TS90A 10.5T Drift Max Combo

Coming from GForce is their new Drift Max Combo, containing the TS90Plus speed controller and 10.5T Ryujin brushless drift car motor. The club-level TS90Plus speed controller features robust hardware with high-quality FETs for a very low internal resistance and lower operation temperatures, maximising the power output. The speedo’s software is widely adjustable using the optional Progbox, allowing to adapt the controller to a wide range of track conditions and driver preferences. As for the 10.5T Ryujin motor, the power plant is housed in a black anodised aluminium can with excessive machining making for a low weight and improved cooling. An internal fan further helps with heat dissipation while creating a unique sound, mimicking a high-revving internal combustion engine.

Reedy Zappers SG3 Competition 1S & 4S LiHV packs

Associated Electrics have introduced the new Reedy Zappers SG3 LiHV 1S and 4S batteries. Zappers SG3 batteries feature state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with an emphasis on lower internal resistance with improved durability and cycle-life. More power, improved durability, and high capacity provide world-class performance. Zappers SG3 batteries feature a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. Even when the typical 4.20V/cell charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG3 cells shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. Zappers SG3 batteries are available in several configurations for a variety of on-road and off-road applications. A high quality, durable hard case helps prevent damage while embedded socket connectors keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum. Male ESC connectors are included. New for 2020 are the 1/12th scale specific 8200mAh 85C 3.8V and 6600mAh 115C 3.8V 1S packs as well as the 6400mAh and 5200mAh LP 15.2V 4S packs, the latter are ideal for demanding 1/8th scale applications.
