We are living really incredible times with continuous technology innovation also in our hobby. SuperScale 2020 has released an Active suspension kit For RC Cars based on the famous Arduino board. It’s designed to add incredible scale realism to your build by replicating real cars suspension behaviour.
Simulate weight and adjust the suspension to your liking on the fly. Brake led lights are activated when deceleration is sensed, there is also an exhaust backfire led control and a PWM trigger output for the horn (custom sound) of a sound module (like the ESS DUAL).

Muchmore has just revealed the brand new Fleta Pro V2 Revolution 1S. This redesigned version of the Fleta Pro features an all aluminium case offers better heat dissipation compared to the previous 2018 variant. This speed controller is develop for use with 1S LiPo batteries 3/4-cell NiMH, and therefore it’s aimed at 1/12th scale use. Its internal switch makes the wiring simpler as it removes the need for an external one.

The electronics are not all the same and the quality of the components can sometimes make a big difference in terms of performance. Rody Cheung, a member of the Hong Kong RC drift group has made a comparison video of a normal aftermarket capacitor and the Onisiki Hyper Booster Capacitor (#ONI4603). Let’s watch the video below to see the difference.
