CS Electronic Rocket Competition ESC

CS Electronic contacted us to tell everyone about their new speed controller, the Rocket Competition. Suitable for modified and stock classes as it offers six modified programs and 3 stock profiles and it can handle all motors, down to super hot 2.5T. Its 9 profiles can be easily selected and if you wish to modify these profiles, you can, but this needs an extra interface to do so. It can be used with sensored and sensorless motors, and it can handle 4-7 cells with automatic LiPo detection and a neat feature of this ESC is that it has a plug in receiver cable, so just like the sensor cable, you can create a neat installation using the correct cable length instead of have to tie wrap a big bundle of wire. Supplied with cooling fan, short receiver cable and sensor cable.

Dirtz Dialed Partz X-6 Transmission brace

Brian Kinwald and X Factory have released the latest Dirtz Dialed Part, a new carbon fibre and anodized aluminum brace for the X-6 Squared buggy and the X-60 truck. Kinwald said, “The new X Factory chassis’ are a big improvement over the original ones, but I want even less flex, so I designed this great new brace that goes from the top of the transmission to the battery bar. Less flex gives the car a more stable feel. In the X cars the motor plate braces against chassis flex, but it is on the left side of the car. With my brace added, what little flex remains is consistent on both sides. The car is better under acceleration and more stable over bumps. It makes the best buggy I’ve ever driven even more totally dialed!”. Available tomorrow, the kit contains the carbon fibre brace, anodized aluminium bracket and all the necessary hardware.

Xray 120° Active Diff segments

Xray have released new Active Diff segments, which are CNC-machined from very tough steel and have very precisely-machined “V” ramp grooves with 120° angle for easy disengagement adjustment. The segment is hardened to ensure long life and durability and the segments are laser engraved for easy recognition. The 120° segments give more immediate response both on and off power. On-power the diff becomes very hard immediately (no delay), while off-power the diff becomes free immediately (no delay). Sold in a set of 2, they are ideally suited for use on slippery and/or flat tracks.

K-Factory TM E4 Steering crank

K-Factory have released a new steering crank set for the Team Magic E4. Whilst the standard nylon components are reliable and durable, they reckon that CNC machined 7075 lightweight hard coated aluminium is better. What matters is the accurate transfer of servo motion to the wheels and a light, rigid material will perform better than a malleable one where energy is being transferred. The mounting point of the steering arms to the steering bell use inserts with offset holes, allowing for quick and easy Ackermann adjustment.
