CS Electronic Rocket Competition ESC

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.

KO Propo America have announced the release of the VFS-1 BMC v1.5 speed controller. The new version of the VFS-1 BMC allows for setting the drag brake quickly through the button switch without connecting a PC. The drag brake can be set from OFF-10%-20%-30%-40%-50% for each model stored in the ESC and finer tuning of the drag brake can still be done through the PC via the ICS PC interface. Other features (specs) remain unchanged from the previous version. and if you have the previous version it can be sent in for an upgrade at a small fee. At the recent ROAR Carpet Nationals this speedo took the TQ spot in 1/12th Mod, World GT, Super Stock and Touring foam and took the win in World GT and Super Stock Touring foam.
