Ruddog Distribution’s latest addition to the Ruddog Racing line-up of competition batteries was specifically developed with 1/8th scale racing in mind. Made from silicon-graphene LiPo cells, the all new HV 4S pack provides you with maximum punch and high endurance. Rated at 75C continuous / 150C burst, the EFRA approved 4S battery with a rated voltage of 15.2 V is the optimum power source for demanding 1/8th scale racing needs.

LRP have introduced the next addition to their Antix by LRP LiPo hard case battery series. Featuring High quality 50C cells in an angular hardcase (139x47x25mm), as 2S and 3S with the most popular connectors, clever features and a great price. A rubber grommet at the cable outlet ideally protects the jointly placed silicone power and balancing cables. This is again slightly offset from the centre so that the cables do not collide with the battery retaining post and can be easily fed out of each battery compartment at an angle of 0° – 90°. The perfect LiPos for hobby and amateur drivers who are mindful of their budget but still want to use powerful LiPo batteries. Also ideal for RTR buyers who want to start directly with LiPo batteries. Available with the currently popular connectors: Tamiya, T-Plug, XT60, XT90 and EC5.

Tested and proven, Reedy’s SC500X is a simple to use, economical, and powerful ESC for enthusiasts of all skill levels. Excellent forward, brake and reverse feel, a wide range of adjustability, and robust hardware make the SC500X suitable for a variety of 1:10 on-road and off-road applications. This powerful, yet durable combination comes standard in Team Associated’s Apex 2 Hoonitruck truck but is suitable for a variety of vehicles where an economically priced brushed system is preferred. It now is available as a combo with the Sport 550 15T 3-Slot motor.
The all-new Reedy SC1500-BL brushless ESC is water-resistant for maximum durability. Its robust design installs in most 1:8 buggies, truggies, monster trucks and short course trucks. When paired with a Reedy 680-SL4 brushless motor, a potent combination of power and efficiency is created, resulting in quick acceleration, high top speeds, generous run times, and more fun. This powerful, wheelie-inducing ESC/motor combination comes standard in Team Associated’s MT8 monster truck, but is suitable for a variety of vehicles where ultimate power output is desired.

Yeah Racing have released the Tritronic 4X Waterproof Dual Motor 6S Brushed ESC, designed for heavy duty use with large scale monster trucks, capable of running a dual motor setup and accepting up to 6s LiPo voltage. The full aluminium case helps to cool the ESC, with also pre-drilled holes for you to mount a fan if you wish so with channels for increased airflow when using ESC with a fan. Capacitors are also integrated into the PCB, for a clean mounting onto your truck. The power connectors chosen were the XT90 to deal with the large amount of current these big rigs use. An optional program card helps you easily adjust settings on the 4X Esc, With some of the larger trucks being able to lock diffs, crawler settings were added to the ESC so your rig can be transformed to a crawler with some simple setting changes.

Reedy Zappers DR 8250mAh batteries have been designed specifically for the demands of drag racing and feature high capacity and C ratings to minimize voltage drop at launch while their inherently heavier weight aids in achieving the ideal front/rear weight distribution. Performance is not restricted by typical plugs and skimpy wires thanks to a heavy-duty QS8 plug with beefy 8-gauge wires in a 2S-5P configuration. Like all Zappers batteries, the 8250mAh variant is constructed using cells featuring the latest advancements in LiPo chemistry and construction techniques to maximise power output without sacrificing durability. Reedy’s engineering team strives to improve all aspects of battery performance in the increasingly popular and competitive world of RC drag racing.

Hobbywing have announced their latest motor release, the XeRun V10 G4. Built for the ultra competitive Stock racing category, the V10 G4 has been tested and developed together with World and European champions. This new generation has been greatly optimised with the stator being redesigned for higher efficiency and is equipped with ultra high grade custom magnetic ring rotor for maximum torque and increasing the output power by 5%. The internal resistance has also been reduced by about 4% resulting in a more efficient and cooler temperature of the motor. The motor adopts a full exposed stator core and is directly exposed to the air for excellent heat dissipation. The outer diameter is maximised to increase the stator heat dissipation area by 25.6% compared to the V10 G3R motor. The motor is equipped with a high-precision endbell plate that uses high quality structural components to greatly improve the consistency and structural stability of the power output at all times. The V10 G4 adpots a modular structural design which is convenient for maintenance which prolongs the service life of the motor.
