Coming from ArndtCraft is a 30mm motor cooling fan brace that was designed to prevent fan breakage in extreme off-road conditions. The brace is ideal for all WTF-style fans and it attaches from the bottom, air flow outlet side of the unit. The 1mm carbon fibre plate is very light of weight and it will improve the fan’s life when running on carpet or astro turf tracks with wood or concrete base. It supports the fan’s centre section, as well as fan housing structure, to prevent fan centre section, and housing, from deflecting under hard impact, which can result in fan breakage.
New from Muchmore is their 1S Fleta Pro V2 ESC. As the name suggests this speedo is suitable for use with 1S batteries and therefore aimed at 1/12th scale use. Made using a full aluminium case for better heat dissipation and therefore able to have higher current, its internal switch makes the wiring simpler as it removes the need for an external switch. A very small footprint (30.5 x 36.5 x 16.5mm) allows more options for its placement thus making balancing your car easier.

Arrowmax have introduced their Dash TLAB Mode Standard Combo Kit (RED) for the Dash AI Pro and upcoming Dash AI LCG esc. With this new function you are able to give access to the outlaw boost and turbo within the popular Stock “Blinky” class racing. Starting out with just a regular “Blinky” class esc, drivers are given a pre-set time limit were they are able to use the Boost and turbo function, just like Modified, within that pre-set time limit. The Dash ESC will have an added feature that can be activated by the 3rd channel on the radio. After the time limit has expired the ESC will return to the “Blinky” mode just like any regular speed control.
