Spektrum Smart S1500 DC charger

Coming soon from Spektrum is the Smart S1500 DC 500W DC multi-chemistry charger. Compact enough to carry in a pocket or field bag the charger’s improved, extra-precise scroll wheel interface simplifies setup. When used with Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries having IC3 or IC5 connectors, the device also uploads specific parameters and health data from the battery’s integrated memory chip and displays it on the bright LCD screen for review — giving drivers the information they need to evaluate the packs and make the best charging decisions. For input power the charger uses compatible DC power sources with the included IC3 power cable adapter. The S1500 also has a USB port, a software update port, plus a safety timer and protection against heat, reverse polarity, short circuit, over-current, and low input voltage.

Muchmore Fleta ZX8 Evolution 1/8th scale BL motor

Coming from Muchmore is their new Fleta ZX8 Evolution electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. Utilising the highly machined Flow-Max Ver.II aluminium can, the motor offers greatly improved cooling efficiency, keeping its operation temperatures as low as possible even in demanding applications and extreme heat conditions. Dual sensor ports allow for easier wire routing and less chances of damaging the sensor wire near rotating drivetrain parts while the 4-pole, 8-magnet staggered-pole rotor reduces low-RPM cogging while offering a very low torque pulse. The motor is built using high RPM super low friction bearings and the rotor is equipped with an innovative hall sensor system that ensures ultra-precise throttle control. The motor measures 68.8×42.1mm and it is available in 1900kV, 2200kV, 2600kV and 3200kV variants.

RC Maker Pro battery voltage checker

RC Maker have introduced their new Pro battery voltage checker. Designed for use with 1S to 2S LiPos, it gives a two decimal place reading on the voltage of the battery; handy for making sure the pack is under voltage before heading to tech, setting charger peak and also making sure it is not a flat battery that is put in the car. The device features a stealth’d-out design with flexible quality wire and stepped 4/5mm plugs to suit all batteries.
