Sunpadow has announced the release of their newest Competition Stock CS Platin series high-performance LiPo battery pack, the Platin CS8000mAh. Developed for use in stock touring car as well as 1/8 electric on road/GT classes, the internal resistance (IR) of the battery cell is further reduced, compared to its predecessor with the weight also reduced by 11 grams compared to the Gold series 8400mah, a saving which significantly improves the acceleration and balance of the chassis. The weight of 312 grams is very rare among 7.4V 8000mAh hard case LiPo battery products, and it is even more difficult to have ultra-low internal resistance at the same time.

JConcepts have introduced two new 2.2″ versions of their well known Monster truck tires, the Fling Kings and the Renegades Jr. Starting with the Fling Kings, they are the first RC Mega Truck tire, specifically designed to throw mud, dirt, gravel and grass just like the real thing. The giant-sized tires are tall enough to dance through the deepest RC loam, however, it is the tall lugs that separate them from the rest. The 1:1 tires were hand-cut to produce the most wicked looking tires on the block ad the JConcepts tires are uniquely built to replicate a hand-cut set, however, deep tread remains to do the “mega” land damage the drivers and enthusiasts crave. One of the most impressive details about the Fling Kings, they are designed for a JConcepts 2.2” wheel, making them aggressive in appearance while the bead of the tire features the traditional 2 step surface which provides a massive amount of area for glue to rest giving the utmost security for full-throttle mud runs. The Fling Kings measure in at 5.50 x 2.5 x 2.2” and are available in both blue and gold compounds and fit directly to JConcepts wheels.
