New in the Pits – Sanwa & Tekin

Sanwa have their new Super Vortex Zero ESC here on display which through the use of an optional RX-472 receiver and its built in SSL functionality can do some cool stuff. Using the company’s latest M12 and latest Excez transmitters you can not only receive speedo and motor temperatures in real time but also the rpm of your motor as well. On top of that you can change the parameters of your ESC directly through a menu on the radio. The speedo itself runs with the usual range of competition motors and comes as standard with the grey anodised heatsink as well as the cooling fan and sensor cable, but Sanwa will offer a limited edition red and purple anodised version of the heatsink.

Introduced here in Chico the RSX competition brushless speed controller is being used by Ryan Lutz among other drivers. The compact unit is designed for the use with 2S to 3S LiPo battery packs and it offers a billet aluminium heatsink housing, an optional fan shroud system and a highspeed fan for maximum cooling. The controller is compatible with sensored and sensorless motors, offers easy on-board programming and an adjustable high voltage BEC system with 6V to 7.4V output. Sporting an 180A rating the RSX is good for the use with motors as low as 2.5T with 2S batteries and 8.5T motors with 3S packs.
