Got a set up you would like to share - or info etc.. write a small article and we will publish - just e-mail it in
05/08/2008 - PCI-DSS compliance. This is s et of requirements to protect card user s from Fraud. Although we have never ever had a problem we still have to comply - and that has meant we have had to make a couple of changes. Whilst our cart provider has secure services they are not yet certified as PCI-DSS compliant - this has meant that in order to ensure our compliance we have had to change the way we take credit cards over the internet. This will now be done by Paypal who are fully certified. This change means that we are now compliant. We can still process cards manually - but you mst contact us seperately for that. Just choose the "other" option in our cart. For your safety and peace of mind we are PCI-DSS compliant! For your speace of mind you should not use services/ service providers who cannot demonstrate compliance. Anyone with some more pictures please submit them for the Gallery page. |

Got next year sorted yet? Let us have your events calendar and we will publish it.
What's happening in Fast ElectricsMega MotorsWhilst Mega motors with their 6 poles provide huge anmounts of torque, their usefulness has been limited by the large steps in KVA rating. A number of initiatives have been underway to fix this.E motors - the comms on mega motors are hollow. E motors have the comm ends machined so that they act as a centrifugal fan and draw air through them. New lengths. 16/25, 22/25/ 22/35 motors have been introduced and their intermediate lengths broaden the possible uses. Keep watching for more updates. want do discus this ? go here New ETTI productsEtti have released a few new products. Two new transom mounted rudder sets, one with a long stand off and one with a short stand off both have the same narrow wedge shape and nither have water pickup. ETTI have also announced a higher rated version of their new controller series. This one looks exactly the same as the 100 but is rated at 150 amps. Testing has indicated that this controller provides better performance (translates to faster boat) than any other controllers. It's cost will be slightly higher than the 100.want do discus this ? go here New ESC's and ChargersDanlions We have had a working relationship with Danlions corp for some time now. We are extending this to import their Vislero A6 Charger which is capable of charging lead acid, NiMh, NiCd, Li-Po, Li-Ion, Li-Fe cells. The charger will hadle 1-12 lead acid cells, 1-18 NiCd/NiMh cells or 1-6 li based cells. The charger has a built in balancer for Li cells which enables balancing whilst charging. The supplied balance lead will take both of the major balance connector types and will enable up to 3 2s cells or 2 3s cells to be charged and balanced simultaneously. The charger can perform up to 5 charge/discharge cycles at currents dependent on the attached cells. The supplied USB link cable and software enables the charge to be monitored on your pc and the data recorded for psoterity.ETTI ETTI have released a new race controller. The controller is nominally 100 amps rated but is billed as being more capable than the existing 125 controllers. It is - like the rest of the family, water cooled and waterproof. The new controller will run 100 amps continuous and take 150 amp peak for 10 seconds. . The Vislero A6 charger is in stock now. The ETTI 100 amp controllers are expected any day now. want do discus this ? go here MPBA FE Section EGMThe MPBA FE section Committee has received in excess of 18 requests to hold and EGM in order to discus changing the rules to allow use of any cell to power a model boat for racing purposes. The meeting will be held at the Chace Hotel Coventry on April 27th. All those who wish to vote must attend in person.The suggested new cell counts are as follows..... Class A (Mono 1 and Hydro 1) 7 x Nimhs the same as now 3S2P Lithium-Ion (Li-FePO4)A123: LiFe Nominal voltage = 3.3 V Maximum 6 cell of the A123 type with a max capacity of 2300 mAh. Max. in series 3s 2S Lithium-Polymer : LiPo Nominal voltage= 3.7 V Max. Packweight 280 g Max. in Series 2s Max. in Parallel 1s Class B (Mono 2 and Hydro 2) 12 x Nimhs the same as now 5S2P Lithium-Ion (Li-FePO4)A123: LiFe Nominal voltage = 3.3 V Maximum 6 cell of the A123 type with a max capacity of 2300 mAh. Max. in series 3s 4S Lithium-Polymer : LiPo Nominal voltage= 3.7 V Max. Packweight 560 g Max. in Series 4s Max. in Parallel 1s want do discus this ? go here |
