Sunpadow Platin 1S competition LiPo pack

Sunpadow announces the launch of this Platin series 3.7V 8000mAh pack which is an ultra-thin, low centre-of-gravity lithium battery for racing. Specially developed for the 1/12th modified class, which consists of 8-minute races, it features a large capacity, weighs just 159 grams and is 93 x 47 x 18.5mm. Excellent discharge capability ensures a stable voltage supply for racing, especially for the last one or two minutes of the race, where the voltage is usually very low, minimising the risk of any shutdown of your electronics, which is caused by excessive instantaneous voltage drop from the large current output in 1S applications.

Xpress Execute XQ10F FWD chassis

Xpress have released a complete FWD version of their Execute XQ10 featuring a FWD drivetrain combined with a more centrally located centre of gravity. By moving the centre pulley, the motor has been moved forwards as well, putting more weight forward and changing the weight balance. Combined with a purpose shaped chassis deck, which is the result of extensive testing, combined with shorty LiPos offer the best chassis flex. Retaining the screw holes which allow for the installation of the rear T-Plate, this lets you limit the amount of rear flex as well. The topdecks also have Xpress’ signature flex elimination design integrated which allows you to further fine tune the chassis flex.
