Advanced Electronics ESC 5.1

Our partners Kimihiko Yano in Japan have started selling this latest brushed speed controller from Advanced Electronics, the 5.1 PC Pro. Suitable for touring cars, and small enough for use in 1/12th scale cars, this speedo uses an up to date FET element for minimum power loss, has a temperature shut down sensor and has 4 built in throtlle profiles. Adjustment of the ESC can be done using the one touch button located on its face and a multi coloured LED guides you in your setting changes. Suiuable for 4 – 6 cells, the controller minus the wires weighs only 15.8 grams and has a very small footprint (26.5 x 21.5 x 14.5 mm).

K-Factory have introduced their new ZF bearing range which come in a variety of sizes and are used as a replacement for your standard kit bearings. Lightweight, these bearings help reduce rotating and static weight within your car, while their construction, combined with the very smooth rubber material used for the seals, provides your car with an almost frictionless transmission system. Less friction equals more speed.
