TrakPower Century competition LiPo batteries

Hobbico have introduced the new TrakPower Century line of high-performance Century LiPo battery packs. Made using the latest generation of high-density cells with improved durability for reduced “swelling” tendencies even in high amp and high temperature conditions the packs offer high discharge rated due to their 100C rating. To allow for the best possible weight-to-power ratio the available capacities are carefully selected with Modified and Stock racers in mind. The range includes a 3.7V 1S pack, several 7.4V 2S and 14.8V 4S packs with bullet-type or Star plug connectors. In addition to the eleven Century packs, TrakPower has also added five 50C packs to its lineup.

Cut from “soft” 2.25mm material the chassis in combination with the 2.0mm top deck will make for more torsional flex which can help increase traction and side bite in certain track conditions. Being only 85mm wide the chassis also makes for improved ground clearance during heavy cornering.

Exotek Exo-Five Evo5/Evo5MS chassis conversion kit

Exotek have introduced the Exo-Five chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya Evo5 and Evo5MS. Although a bit outdated the Evo5 is still a desirable platform for Stock and VTA racers and with the help of the Exotek conversion the car will be 2015 ready. This chassis set is designed for stock type motors and has the opening in the top plate to work correctly with the smaller spur gears and large pinions used in 13.5T to 21.5T type blinky classes and because of this, the largest spur gear that can be used must be 34mm diameter or smaller. The conversion utilises key features such as a stiffer and ultra narrow 2.25mm chassis, a redesigned motor mount that sits on the left side of the chassis to counter torque steering, and the new one piece, hard anodised spur mount/input shaft eliminates the play and vibration of the stock unit. The new hard anodised centre shaft drive cup uses a Tamiya CVD puck for reduced wear and a quieter drive line. Also included is a new 1-piece servo mount and a trick battery mounting system that accepts standard or shorty 2S LiPo battery pack. The limited edition kit is available for pre-order now.
