Coming from Xtreme Racing is their new carbon fibre charger stand designed for the popular iCharger X8. The stand will hold the X8 and similar chargers at an angle, making go better viewing and allowing more air around the charger for cooling. The stand will fit perfectly over most server-style 90x40mm power supplies to take less room in the pit space. The set includes two side plates, the charger plate and two aluminium spacers with fasteners.
Yokomo have introduced their new Red Edition Racing Performer Drift.Spec RPX II brushless speed controller. The speedo is built using matched premium-grade FETs for a super-low internal resistance, best possible power transfer and less heat built-up. A special firmware ensures optimised throttle and car control on all surfaces and in all track conditions. A switchable 6V/7.4V 6A BEC system ensures stable power supply even for high-power HV servos and the controller comes including a fan unit, all black wires, and a red anodised fan cover.

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon capacitor mount for many of today’s 1/10th scale speed controllers. Weighing in at only one gram, it allows to fix the capacitor to the ESC without any risk of it falling off. Normally the ESC is a very popular place to stick the capacitor to, as it is off the ground and out of the way, however when the ESC gets hot, it releases the double sided tape and the capacitor can move and fall off. The carbon bracket screws between the fan and the heatsink, then allowing to stick the capacitor to the carbon with a much more reliable mount that ensures the double sided tape stays stuck. It can be rotated or flipped to any side of the ESC desired and two versions for 25mm and 30mm fans with up to 3mm screws are available.
Trinity’s ReVtech X-Factor spec motors are now also available in 13.5T and 17.5T variants. The lightweight motors weigh in at about 144g and they feature composite sensor boards, 0 to 60 degrees timing adjustment, a lightweight coming ring and locking endplate as well as a highly machined 2-piece CNC-machined alloy can and 2mm ultra low resistance solder tabs. The 13.5T variant is BRCA, EFRA and ROAR approved while the 17.5T motor is ROAR approved only. Both motors are built using the TEP1119 12.5×25.5 high torque rotor and they are available as standard race or team spec motors.
