First Looks: BSD Racing BS807T, a.k.a. Redcat Racing Aftershock 8E
http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. This is the BSD Racing BS807T, a.k.a. Redcat Racing Aftershock 8E. It is a 1/10 scale short course truck with race-compliant truck tires (not the cheater buggy wheels). Very highly-bashable kit that is based on the Land Ripper, a.k.a. Redcat Backdraft 8E. Except that, this one comes stock with a Xerun 80A ESC (vs EZrun for the Backdraft). Powered by dual 2 cell Lipo packs, i.e. 4S2P, upgradable to 6S2P... this is another Asian RC bastardization that is a force to be reckoned with. Possibly the most powerful (6s2p) SC truck ever made... Traxxas Slash... be very afraid.....

Turnigy A-6-10 200W Lipo Balancer-Charger - XT60 Leads
http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. This is the Turnigy A-6-10 200W Lipo Balancer-Charger with XT60 Leads. It comes with both RC Lipo battery charging, discharging and balancing capabilities at a rate of up to 10 Amps - that's good enough for a 2C charge rate for 5000mah packs out there. It charges other battery types too - NiMh, NiCd, and even Lead-acid too. It comes with several adaptors for various applications- such as your receiver packs and glow starters. With an optional balance card, you can also perform parallel balance charging of up to 2 6S Lipo packs. The stock connectors are all in XT60, which is HobbyKing's proprietary connector type. However, you can easily purchase 4mm Banana plugs with Deans or Traxxas connectors to suit your RC cars' battery connector type.

Welcome! Welcome! It seems my RC blog isn't so pointless after all! Yesterday, a milestone 82 views! That comes on the heels of some NuffNang blogs on general interest and trivia. Site traffic has been on the steady rise as more and more folks are keen to find out more about top Asian designed RC car equipment like SkyRC Toro8, Turnigy, HobbyWing Xeruns, and cars by HSP, BSD Racing and FS Racing and where (on and off-road rc tracks) to race and play.
Purchase 4mm banana plugs with the charging leads of your choice for use with the Turnigy chargers from HobbyKing.
Turnigy 200 Watts Lipo 10 Amps Charger
Http://Hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. I just took delivery of the Turnigy 200 Watts Lipo 10 Amps Charger. I actually traded my GT RC A6-D for this as I was seeking to charge my Lipo packs at 10A, or 2C of my 5000 mah packs. I also purchased a balance card that'll allow me to charge and balance 2 2 or 3 cell packs simultaneously. However, do note that ALL Turnigy chargers come with XT60 leads. It turns out that HobbyKing, the sole distributor of Turnigy, is vehemently against the "over-priced Deans connectors" and even made their proprietary XT60 connector type available for all to make without any licensing required. According to the HobbyKing website, the XT60 connectors have a superior contact area and the ability to carry a greater current load. If you're using Deans or Traxxas connectors, it doesn't mean you can't use this value-for-money, feature-packed charger. All you need to do is buy a 4mm Banana connector with Deans or any charge leads that you need for your Lipo packs. While I'll be getting that for my existing packs, I've also ordered XT60 connectors, and 4mm heat shrink tubing - which I'll be using to switch my existing RC Car n battery connectors.
