Performa P1 Controller 150A ESC

Performa Racing’s P1 150A Sensor/Sensorless Controller was developed to deliver unmatched power, performance and reliability for demanding 1/8th scale racing applications. Built with high quality components and loaded with cutting edge firmware, the 150A-rated 2S to 6S LiPo-compatible ESC will protect itself from damage due to abuse, overuse, and even human error. With a high power output and adjustable parameters, the controller delivers the smooth throttle response and linear throttle/brake control even in demanding racing conditions. It also features an integrated HV BEC with 4 Amp output current, and adjustable output voltage from 6 to 8.4V. The Performa cooling technology utilises heat conductive copper bars to rapidly and effectively transfer all internal heat from the MosFET board to the integrated CNC machined billet aluminium heatsink housing. The cooling fan utilises a shock proof mounting system that reduces the possibility of fan damage due to the repeated shock of landing jumps in an 1/8 scale off road environment. The speedo also features an electronic switch, allowing settings from an integrated button while even easier programming is accessible using an optional programming box.

Ruddog 6000mAh & 4100mAh Graphene Plus LiHV packs

New from Ruddog Distribution’s own Ruddog brand are two LCG high-performance LiHV battery packs. First up is the 6000mAh 7.6V 100C Graphene Plus LCG Stick Pack LiHV, a standard size stick battery of 22.5mm height. The low centre of gravity battery allows to lower the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved cornering speeds especially in high-bite track conditions while the high-quality 100C Graphene Plus technology cells ensure a very low internal resistance and thus improved overall power, runtime and exceptional cell durability. The battery weighs in at 260g and it utilises 5mm bullet-type connectors.

T-Works T4’20 brass steering posts

T-Works have announced the release of their new machined brass steering post set for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Made to add about 5g of weight to the front of the chassis, the posts allow to fine-tune the overall weight balance without having to add additional weights. The posts come precision machined and with a black surface coating for wear and looks.

RC Maker T4’20 GeoCarbon shock towers

Coming from RC Maker are new GeoCarbon series shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. Available for the front and rear of the car, the shock towers feature a dual-sided GeoCarbon finish and they are 3mm thick with a re-designed profile to introduce a marginal amount of flex, giving the car more traction, which is very often highly favourable for all asphalt racing, as well as low-medium traction carpet tracks. The towers are available mimicking the standard shock geometry and they also come as -3mm variant, allowing to access the new lower A-arm shock mounting position that can be an advantage in higher grip track conditions.

Arrowmax 2020 competition LiPo battery packs

Arrowmax have introduced three new competition LiPo battery packs for 1/10th touring cars. First up is a new ultra low centre of gravity 7.4V 5900mAh pack that offers a height of only 19.5mm and a weight of 250g while being of a standard 139x47mm footprint. New higher capacity cells allow for ample power supply for power-hungry modified motors or stock class racing. The pack’s low height will ensure an overall lower centre of gravity, increasing cornering speeds especially in high-bite track conditions. Also new are two Narrow Fit slim-style 7.4V battery packs of 5500mAh and 6200mAh capacity. They weigh in at 237g and 242g respectively and are only 37mm in width which will help to centralise the weight especially of the new generation of mid-motor touring cars. Using a slim battery will improve cornering speeds and stability, allowing to squeeze extra performance out of mid-motor cars.

Bezerk Litesabre 235mm Pro10 chassis kit

Bezerk from Australia have introduce their very first chassis kit in the form of the Litesabre 235mm Pro10 chassis. Bezerk were first approached by Shannon Overson in January 2019 about building the ultimate Pro10 for the Brendale track in Queensland, Australia. Brendale is known for its size, grip level and facilities, thus it being selected for the Nitro Worlds in 2020. The designers of the Litesabre were aiming for something that was easy to drive at Modified speed and have a heap of tuning features for the enthusiast pan car racer. The features list starts with a unique stepped chassis that allows wheelbase adjustment without having to change steering components, its higher front ground clearance that is great for high speed with higher downforce bodies, minimising the front of chassis ever hitting the track, while offering better cornering clearance. The wearable rear chassis is cheaper to replace, and the ability to flush mount the front bumper and clean up the aero whilst protecting the front edge of the chassis adds to the overall performance.

Ruddog CA Tire Glue CA super glues

Ruddog Distribution have introduced their new Tire Glue line of CA super glues. Available as thin and medium viscosity variants the glues are ideal to securely bond on-road and off-road rubber tyres to their wheels with the thin variant being ideal to let the glue flow into even the smallest of gaps while the medium variant is also usable to seal tyre sidewalls in order to counter traction rolling. Both glues come in 20g bottles and they include angled glue tips to make application even more convenient.
