Coming from Xpress and made for their FT1 and FT1S FWD touring cars are new short shock conversion parts. First up is a front adapter set that will allow to use optional short low-profile shocks in the front of the cars.

Spektrum S1100 AC Smart charger

Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Spektrum S1100 AC Smart charger that quickly replenishes batteries with its 100W power output. It also provides balancing and peak detection capabilities, and includes thermal, reverse polarity, short circuit, over current, and low input voltage protections. The charger’s large, 2.4-inch color LCD display makes it easy to read charging parameters and Smart battery data from any angle. An upgraded touch wheel user interface simplifies menu navigation. When using the S1100 AC Smart charger to charge a Spektrum Smart battery, the battery’s type, cell count, charge current rate, and capacity are all set automatically. The charging process is simple: Just plug in the Smart battery. The correct charging parameters are sent from the battery’s microchip memory through the IC3 connector’s data wire to the charger. The S1100 AC Smart charger begins correct, safe charging automatically following the battery’s built-in parameters. Because the charger is backwards-compatible with older EC3 connectors, owners can charge non-Smart batteries like you usually would. The Spektrum S1100 AC Smart charger firmware is updatable by connecting the charger to a PC through the USB port. Measuring a compact 122x118x63mm, the unit is easily portable and fits even on crowded workbenches.
