Team Magic have released this lightwieght transmitter battery pack for use in Futaba brand transmitters. The size of the battery is just 93 x 46 x 11mm, while the weight of the whole item is only 133 grams. This means it’s a lot lighter than most batteries available, something you will notice when on the drivers stand. The pack itself uses AAA cells at 1100mah, meaning you will get lots of track time between charges.

Powers International have announced that they have started selling the new 2.5R brushless motor from Speed Passion. This competition level touring car motor, has about as few winds as you can get and yet it has a smooth power delivery, while the internals are kept from melting by the built in rotor mounted cooling fan. Combine this with the air vents on the motor casing mean that there is little need for an external fan in normal racing conditions. This motor works with LRP BL speedos, but due to the 2.5R being capable of destroying the ESC, it is recommended to only use this motors with 5 cells.
