Nosram LiPo RX regulator and Rx packs

We showed the extensive range of LiPo cells from Nosram before but they have added even more packs to their range with the release of new receiver packs and regulator. These Nosram VTEC LiPo receiver packs have a nominal voltage of 7,4V which needs to be converted into the regular 6V input voltage for every receiver. The new Nosram LiPo RX regulator takes on this duty and will constantly provide 6V input voltage with a continuous 5A current which results in consistent steering and braking response throughout the duration of long finals.

IRS Balance Tools for TC and 1/12th

Jason Breiner from BMI Racing posted these images online of these new balance tools by IRS. Essentially they are two hemispheres with a pin sticking out of them and what they do is help you set the balance of your chassis by allowing the car sitting on top of them to lean, showing how the car is balanced. The pins are inserted into the cars chassis plate along the center line and gravity does the rest and the beauty of them is you can leave them in the chassis as you play around with weight distribution receiving instant confirmation.
