Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:01 AM PST Coming from 7075.it and made for Xray’s aluminium flex and extra flex chassis is a LCG battery plate. Weighing it at 35g and adding only 0.5mm of height to the battery compartment area, the plate fits snuggly into the herringbone-shaped chassis cutout, interlocking with the main plate while not disturbing natural flex. The result is an improved weight balance when using low centre of gravity LiPo batteries without doing away with their advantages of lowering the overall centre of gravity. The plate comes in a shiny natural finish and sports dark logos and writings for looks and easy identification.

Yeah Racing 30mm alloy case booster cooling fan Posted: 30 Jan 2019 01:54 AM PST Yeah Racing have announced the soon release of their new 30mm aluminium case boost cooling fan. Being housed in an alloy rather than a plastic case, the fan will make for improved cooling efficiency not only because of its optimised case design but also by adding to the overall cooling surface when mounted to a speed controller heat sink. The case design also allows to use it as a motor cooling fan for extreme conditions. The fan is 8.4V high-voltage compatible, it utilises dual ball bearings and is available in black, blue or red colour.
