Team Exalt Adjustable Bullets with Heatsink Grip

New from Florida based Team Exalt are these 5mm Adjustable Bullets with Heatsink Grip. The bullet connectors are designed to offer features that no connector on the market currently offers with an all new 3 piece design that allows for the best possible connection which is pivotal in 1:12 stock racing all the way to 1:8 scale racing. At the top of the connector is a dual heatsink and hip design that not only keeps heat away, but gives a great place to easily remove and insert the connector. Each set of connectors comes conveniently with one black and one pink connector, etched with the Exalt “X”, to easily identify positive and negative terminals. Resistance was a major factor in the design of these new plugs. Low resistance is necessary for more power in spec racing as well as to keep temperature down in 1:8 racing. When these connectors are installed not only will you see more efficient current flow, you will see less temperature as well. Once installed, these bullets have the ability to be tightened down with the use of a .050″ wrench.

LRP G4.1 7000mAh HV Mid Size Modified Battery

New from German electronics brand LRP is their HV Mid Size Modified Graphene 4.1 7000mAh Hardcase Battery. To maximise capacity while adjusting the length of the battery to 113mm, the only option was to develop a new cell construction and invest in a completely new case. This new size extends the battery by 16mm over the Shorty battery length of 97mm and makes it 26mm shorter than the standard battery length of 139mm. Due to these specifications, this Mid-Size battery offers three advantages. In 1:8 Electric Offroad the 113mm battery completely fills up the battery compartment in the popular Team Associated RC8B4.1e buggy and offers increased capacity over the normal shorty batteries. Also in buggies with a full length battery compartment (139mm) the new Mid-Size battery can be moved forward and backward to adjust the weight distribution while providing sufficient capacity. In 1:10 Modified Touring Car the weight distribution can be adjusted front to rear by 26mm which can be vital to getting the perfect weight balance and cornering.
