Recently we mentioned word about the new Muchmore Hybrid charger/discharger, but we didn’t have a lot of details because it wasn’t shipping in the US, till now. It features a 5 amp charge and 1 amp discharge, real time voltage monitoring, both fast charge and storage modes, and a AC/DC input so you can use it anywhere. They will be shipping in June, and should be around the $150 or less mark.

Visit the Muchmore web site for info.

Through the pleasant Austrians at Robitronic we got word that Muchmore is releasing a new charger called the Hybrid.  It’s capable of charging 1 – 15 Zellen cell NiMH packs or 1 – 6S LiPos/LiFEs at rates from 0.1A up to 5A and it can discharge at rates from 0.1A to 1A.  Best of all the Hybrid also has a built in LiPo balancer.  It’s going to be available in three colors: black, blue, and silver.  No word on price or availability (or if they’ll be coming to America), so keep an eye on the Robitronic and Muchmore web sites for info.

I am of the firm belief that there is no such thing as too much light.  All my home light fixtures have two 100 watt  bulbs in them (60 watt limits… pshh… what does UL Labs know… nothing… that’s what), my curtains are opened any time the sun is out, and when I’m at my workbench I wear a super bright LED head lamp.  But with Muchmore Racing‘s new 12V LED Folding Pit Lamp I may just be able to dump the goofy head lamp.

The pit lamp features a lightweight and durable aluminum frame, sturdy fold out feet, it’s fully adjustable so you can shine the light where you need it, and when you’re done it folds up nice and compact so you can throw it in your pit bag and go.  The lamp can be powered by sources from 7.2V up to 13.8V.  You’ll be able to get it in black or blue, and the MSRP is $99.99.

Muchmore Wheel Balancer Some new products from Muchmore Racing are coming in. First up is this Multi-Wheel Balancer. It uses specially designed magnets to balance racing wheels, two way adapters to fit all on-road and off-road 1/10th scale wheels, and comes with a caddy for shafts and adapters.

A few years back I was having issues getting around a dirt track when someone suggested I try to balance my wheels. I honestly didn’t think it would really make that much difference, but I couldn’t of been more wrong. Having balanced wheels is night and day! From accelerating to cornering, it’s really an important step. If you are looking to improve your driving, make sure you get balanced!
