eliminates the need for a gearbox, making them the simpler,
lighter and less expensive alternative to a brushed motor and
gearbox. Plus, their innovative housing optimizes cooling,
allowing RimFire motors to produce 50% more performance
power than out-runners of similar size. Motor mount and
hardware are included. GPMA4525
ElectriFly Silver Series 8A Micro Brushless ESC
If you’re into electric flight, take it easy: get a Silver Series
ESC. It’s easy to find a compatible battery – you can use
NiCd, NiMH or LiPo. Hook-up takes just seconds, and there’s
NO set-up. Silver Series ESCs detect the battery type, read
the voltage and set the voltage cut-off. Brake turns on (or off)
at your option. The BECs are hefty and realistically rated.
The SS-8 delivers 1.5A, for right-now response and extended
flight times. GPMM1800
ElectriFly Silver Series 12A Electronic Speed Control
With Silver Series brushless ESCs, the only way their
performance would be any easier to enjoy is if they came
already installed. As it is, hookup takes only seconds – and
set-up takes no time at all. Silver Series brushless ESCs set
up automatically on hook-up and offer the option to use brake
(or not) with a fl ick of the throttle stick. The 12A ESC is great
for small fl at foamies and built-up 3D airplanes, perfect for
out-runner brushless motors, and delivers 12A of continuous
current. It’s compatible with LiPo, NiCd and NiMH batteries
and features leads and Deans

battery connector, gold-
plated bullet plugs for motor and universal radio connectors
already attached. GPMM1810
ElectriFly Power Series
™
11.1V LiPo Batteries
When the voltages of all cells in a pack are closely matched,
each one can accept maximum power during a charge…and
deliver maximum power in use. What’s more, balanced packs
tend to last longer than unbalanced packs – and that means
maximum value for your battery dollar! ElectriFly offers Power
Series balanced LiPo packs in *300mAh* (GPMP0595) and
*640mAh* (GPMP0601) capacities. Both feature a 24 AWG
charge lead with balance connector and 18AWG discharge
lead with Deans
®
micro plug.
ElectriFly Equinox
™
LiPo Cell Balancer
By regulating the voltage levels from 2 to 5 LiPo cells to within
a very tight tolerance of each other, the Equinox ensures the
fullest possible safe voltage during charging – which means
more power and longer lasting packs! It can handle a maximum
current of 3 amps during charge or discharge (up to 6 amps
with custom connectors), and includes adapters for 2S and 3S
(7.4V & 11.1V) batteries and gold-plated banana plugs. Plus,
it automatically checks for poor quality cells, and provides a
safe platform for charging*. Choose from two modes for using
Equinox: connected directly to the cell in “Quick Balance”
mode, or in conjunction with a LiPo-compatible charger/
discharge in “Interface” mode. GPMM3160
*Equinox cannot be used with LiPo batteries which have built-in charge
protection circuits.
ElectriFly PolyCharge4
™
For convenience with multiple LiPo packs, there’s the DC
PolyCharge4. Each of its four independent outputs can
charge a one-to-four cell Lithium-Polymer pack. It’s ideal if
you don’t have the time for one-at-a-time charging – and
don’t want the expense and hassle of multiple chargers.
Each output can handle packs from 300 to 3000mAh. Set the
capacity, and PolyCharge4 will automatically set the charge
rate to get you started – and use light and sound cues to tell
you when your pack is done. GPMM3015
