Yeah Racing 1/8th electric motor heat sinks

Yeah Racing have introduced their new add-on heat sinks for 1/8th scale electric motors. Designed for the use with motors of 40.8mm diameter and 57.9mm of length, the multi-piece aluminium heat sink wraps around the motor, making for an increased surface and thus better heat dissipation. In addition up to two optional 30mm cooling fans can be mounted to further increase cooling capacity. 10mm stand offs allow to raise the fans which further improves cooling at the expense of a higher centre of gravity and less body clearance. The hear sinks are available in red, black or blue colour.

Avid 2S orange charge lead cable

Avid have added an orange colour charge lead cable to their already extensive line up of balance charging wires. It includes gold-plated 4mm to 5mm bullets on the battery end to cover all battery types and 4mm bullets on the charging end. The balance cable is equipped with the popular XH 3-pin balance plug, but also included is an XH 7-pin housing for the direct use with most chargers. The balance leads of the 610mm cable are 63.5mm longer than the charge leads so they can easily be plugged into any charger design.

Dash AI Pro V2 brushless speed controller

Coming from Dash is the AI Pro V2 brushless speed controller. Based on the previous model the V2 variant features state-of-the-art 32 bit micro-controlling and a robust software with the signature black and golden all-aluminium case improving heat dissipation. The redesigned case is now also smaller and lighter, minimising the overall weight and lowering the centre of gravity. The Reedy Race winning ESC was developed and tested with the help of Viktor Wilck and Nicholas Lee with a focus on smooth power delivery needed for modified racing as well as exceptional power efficiency for stock racing. Other features include a high-voltage 30mm turbo fan, an adjustable 6V to 7V high-voltage BEC system as well as interchangeable A-B-C motor connector configurations.
