6MIK have introduced a new 40mm aluminium cooling fan. Standard replacement for 1/8th speed controller, the 40x40x10mm fan includes a black or red anodised aluminium fan mount sporting a heatsink design for cool looks and additional heat dissipation. The hi-speed fan features dual ball bearings to increase air flow to help to cooling and thus extend the lifespan of the ESC as well as an all-black high-quality silicone wires for a stealthy appearance. It should be plugged to the receiver in order to prevent ESC over-tension.

R1 Motor lab have introduced the new LCG Digital-3 Super Stock Wireless programmable brushless speed controller. Developed using the most advanced microchip processor and a robust proprietary software, the LCG Digital-3 delivers the most technologically advanced features to date. Development of the LCG Digital-3 Super Stock was focused on ultra smooth power delivery needed for competition level racing as well as the power efficiency. The controller offers the most advanced throttle and brake features to suit a wide range of driving styles. The unit features an A.C.L.C. (Advanced Component Level Cooling) system. This design allows individual encapsulated low resistance mosfets (inner & outer components) to transfer heat directly to the upper heat sink. The system also comes equipped with an all new blinky mode (zero timing) for spec racing, using an advanced commutation algorithm called Cool Power to keep the motor cool and deliver powerful, yet ultra smooth acceleration.
