RC Maker GeoCarbon capacitor mount

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon capacitor mount for many of today’s 1/10th scale speed controllers. Weighing in at only one gram, it allows to fix the capacitor to the ESC without any risk of it falling off. Normally the ESC is a very popular place to stick the capacitor to, as it is off the ground and out of the way, however when the ESC gets hot, it releases the double sided tape and the capacitor can move and fall off. The carbon bracket screws between the fan and the heatsink, then allowing to stick the capacitor to the carbon with a much more reliable mount that ensures the double sided tape stays stuck. It can be rotated or flipped to any side of the ESC desired and two versions for 25mm and 30mm fans with up to 3mm screws are available.

CS Electronic CSX V2 brushless motors

German company CS Electronic have introduced their new CSX V2 540-class modified and stock electric brushless motors. Based on the previous CSX the V2 variants offer improved performance, lower energy consumption, lower operation temperatures and a lower weight. At the same time the power curve and drivability have been improved. This was achieved by utilising a new internal design and Ti magnet material. The modified motor is available in 4.0T to 8.5T specification while the stock variant comes in 10.5T to 25.5T windings.
