SMJ have introduced a wireless charger set for the Sanwa M17 transmitter. The charger was designed to simply place the radio on top of it, allowing to charger its batteries without removing them from the transmitter. The charger bay is also usable for smartphones with wireless charging capabilities. Not includes in the set is the needed AC adapter.
Coming for Tekin’s Gen3 and Spec-R electric brushless motors are new ceramic ball bearings. Extremely low friction and precision manufacturing provides a noticeable increase in motor RPM output while lowering drag and increasing efficiency. The ball races also fit the older Gen2 and Gen1 motors and they are available now.

Reds Racing from Italy have introduced their all-new ZX Pro 160A 1/10th scale brushes speed controller. The no-compromised ESC was developed with the input of Reds Racing’s international team of factory drivers and it features an updated firmware with new algorithms for throttle and brake control that result in the smoothest possible throttle and very strong brake feeling. At 95g including wires the controller is also lighter than the previous version while offering new programming functions. The speedo features a built-in power switch and programming port, it utilises a switchable 6V/7.4V BEC system as well as a 30mm fan unit. The ZX Pro is available separately, including programming box or Z-Line motors.

Coming from Yokomo is their latest addition to the Racing Performer line of batteries, the Ultra 5500mAh HV SLCG pack. The high voltage battery utilizes highest performance 140C silicon-graphene technology cells to provide higher power, more speed and acceleration. The super low centre of gravity pack measures 138x46x20mm and it weighs in at 235g. Compared to the conventional LCG battery, it provides an even lower CG and allows racers to add steel or brass weights under the battery for keeping the weight as low as possible, allowing the chassis to perform better, especially on high-grip surfaces. The pack will hit stores at the end of April.

Dash RC have introduced their new R-Tune V2 modified brushless motor. Designed to be lighter and faster than the previous model, the V2 variant features a high airflow arrow design with large openings in the machined aluminium can to guarantee maximum cooling efficiency, a lower weight and minimised power fading in high ambient temperatures. The redesigned stator helps to achieve a much lower internal resistance while offering increased torque which enhances the overall performance. The motor comes equipped with Japan-grade bearings for maximum efficiency and it is available in 3.5T to 8.5T specification for on-road and off-road applications.
New from Amain Hobbies’ EcoPower brand is the Sling Shot SLV 13.5 Turn sensored brushless motor. The Sling Shot SLV bases in the standard Sling Shot series but improves on the original with a heavily vented, lightweight can to help reduce overall weight and improve heat dissipation. Also, the SLV has larger solder tabs to reduce resistance and help make it easier when soldering the wires on. Other features include a high torque 12.5mm sintered Neodymium rotor to deliver the torque needed for competitive 13.5 class racing. Fully adjustable timing lets drivers fine tune the power delivery to suit their driving style and track conditions, while dual sensor ports allow easy installation in a variety of chassis configurations.
