LRP have released the new Flow X v3.3 software developed especially for IFMAR Offroad World championship 2017 in China. The software update incorporates many fine improvements to make it even better on clay surfaces. On the outside not many differences are obvious except for added torque feel values, but on the inside some vital parts of the software have received an upgrade and are internally re-adjusted. This will result in improved driving feel, smoother throttle response and also reduced operating temperatures.

KO Propo have introduced the Advantage Capacitor C for an ESC for a brushless motor. This capacitor suppresses the decline of power in the latter half of a running time, allowing improved average lap in race and leading to a shortening of total time. The characteristic of this capacitor suppresses excessive rise of torque for a modified motor. To ensure that you can use the Advantage Capacitor C, please check the “Capacitor for Brush-less motor Chart” here.
