JANUARY 2012, HAPPY NEW YEAR J

January: China has taken a longer break this year, starting 16^th January all the way through to early Feb, everything is closed, we cannot ship out any kits fom HET or TOPGUN until February.

NEW STUFF!!!

Lots of new stuff arriving this month and next month. Just in the new Extreme CNC Alloy 80 and 90mm housings! New designs, 5 stators, all straight lips, new lip on 90mm takes wemotec and HET plastic intake rings!

The new housings are designed to work with a variety of rotors, optimized for Wemotec Midi rotor, stumax rotors and CS rotors. We will have the new fan combos available very soon, from the 20^th onwards! Preorders are welcome now, email me with your requirements!!

DECEMBER 2011

December: The new Extreme 70mm CNC Alloy 10 Blade fan is now in stock! Unfortunately it has been so popular we have sold out of Alloy housings! A new batch of housings is in production and hoping to have them in by the end of the year. I think the video of my old F16 with one of the 4 cell 10 blade setups was the reason for the rush on this new Wooooooosh fan! For those who have not seen it, take a look on the 10 Blade fan page!

And that’s not all! The new 90mm 12 Blade rotor is here too, testing will begin after our break, and our new custom CNC Alloy housings to suit this new rotor will hopefully be in stock before the end of the year, the new housing has an all new stator design and will take the HET 700 series 39mm motors.

And finally the Extreme F16 kits are back in stock! Yes we have finally got more F16's in, just in time for the next batch of 10 blade WOOOOOOSH fans! Now is the time to build that fast F16 you always wanted, and with the bonus of a fan that sounds incredibly turbine like!

NOVEMBER 2011

November: More new products on the way and just arrived! The new 10 blade 70mm CS rotor has just arrived, I have samples I am now testing, the plan is to offer an Extreme CNC 70mm 10 blade fan, turbine like sound and good performance to boot!

OCTOBER 2011

OCTOBER: Apologies for the lack of updates, been quite busy lately! We have the new JetFan-90 fan unit from E-Jets in Germany now in stock. Being a hand made item they are selling out before they arrive so the only way to secure one is to pre-order. We have most of the HET motors to suit the Jetfan, and the performance and sound for the price point is unbeatable! The housing is lovely, all carbon and very well made, the rotor sits well centered and the fan goes together quickly and easily, the rotor is a very simple setup and runs smooth with only minor adjustment on the shaft adapter. The 9 blade rotor has the wooooosh sound we all want! The JetFan-90 produces about 10% less static thrust than a wemotec running at the same wattage.

FEBRUARY 2011

FEBRUARY: Apologies for not keeping this section up to date! So many things have been happening and I keep running out of time to talk about them!

STUMAX SM90 & SM100 Fan units: I have been testing a lot of fan setups the last few months and have some brilliant packages for the Stumax fans, you can find them in the fan section under Stumax, from 2300 watts to 5000+ watts, we have a power system to suit everyones needs!

EXTREME CNC 127mm DYNAMAX Fan: I have developed a new version of our big 5 inch Dynamax fan, running a custom Scorpion 4035 outrunner, this combo has reduced the weight of the fan unit to 890 grams ready to install! almost 15lb (6.75kg) of thrust on 12 cells at 100 amps, this is an amazing sounding fan, along with the Stumax fans the Dynamax 11 blader has that turbine sound and roar out the back!

NOVEMBER 2010

NOVEMBER: Extreme Radio Control is now the exclusive Australian dealer for Hobby-TOPGUN models! We have set up a whole new concept of supplying large kits to Australian customers, we have lowered costs by removing the double shipping of the past along with local storage costs! We now ship direct Australia wide at one flat rate per kit type, prices are lower WITH shipping than they used to be without!! We have most of the famous 90mm jets listed up on the website and we also have the complete range of TOPGUN Gliders and the new Racing Gliders on the website.

OCTOBER 2010

OCTOBER: The new ERC 127mm/5 inch CNC Alloy fan unit is here! This is a custom in house design by Extreme RC, I designed this housing to be a drop in replacement to the popular Dynamax and Ramtec ICDF (glow ducted fan units) of the past. The housing is CNC machined from solid billet and comes in two pieces with a screw on intake section. We have ready to install combos available to order and will be testing other motor options for future variants. This is an extremely strong fan unit that will take up to 45mm motors standard, and can be ordered with motor tube machined out up to 52mm for those who want to fit the larger 40mm NEU motors or Scorpion 4035 series outrunners.

AUGUST 2010

AUGUST 19: Mounting brackets are now available for the Extreme CNC Alloy fan units. I have been looking for a mounting method that would offer an affordable solution and this machined extrusion fits the bill perfectly. We have some size adjustability with the material so if you wanted a slightly longer or different bracket design just let me know!

Extreme CNC ALLOY DYNAMAX 120mm fans are now available for purchase! Testing has been done with the new HET 700-98 long can Typhoon motors, very good results with 25,500rpm at 85 amps on 12 cells. Motor mounts are available for the new 120+mm fans and for the next month I will be including a set of mounts free with every 120mm fan purchase.

JULY 1: Lots of new things happening this month! HET’s new 700 series long can motors are now in stock and being tested in the new 120mm alloy fan with good results. 670 & 780Kv versions are available and weigh in at 560 grams. Assembled in the fan the total weight is only 930 grams!

JUNE 2010

JUNE 20: EXTREME Series 120mm ALLOY fans are almost done! We have all the parts for our new custom DYNAMAX rotor and I have machined up the first one to fit our slightly smaller housing, soon as the new HET 700 series motors arrive I will be getting one of these babies on the test stand!

JUNE 2: FrSKY Telemetry Modules are almost here! FrSKY has changed around the basic package for the new modules so the entire section of the website has been updated and put into separate categories for easier navigation. Hack Modules are now available with more coming in on the next shipment due to leave the factory end of next week. All standard modules and Rx's are in stock as are the new cases for those wishing to change their aerial position from back to top on JR and Futaba radios.

MAY 2010

MAY 25: STUMAX Has been busy and his new fan units can now finally be unveiled! Two new fans have been designed, a 90mm and a 100mm featuring a modular 11 blade rotor and carbon fibre housing. We expect mounting lugs will be set into the housing during manufacture so that the fans are easy to mount. I have been discussing the setup of the 90mm fan with Stuart and have asked him for collets/adapters designed for 5mm motor shafts. The motor housings are the same as used in the SM110mm fan so our new range of HET 700 Typhoon motors with 39mm cases will drop in, soon as I have the sample fan I will be running tests to ascertain the best setup for 8-12 cells.

Unfortunately the AUD$ has had a bit of a hit this month and a lot of our pending motor orders have suffered as a result. The ARC motors have increased in price due to the drop from 90c+ to 80c, in fact one of our orders last week was paid for at 78c! We endeavour to hold prices inline with their USD equivalents as much as possible, stock that is already here has not been adjusted yet but batteries, motors and fans run out fast so get in while you can before prices rise on all these items!

Extreme RC ALLOY FAN UNITS Now back in stock!! We have the 70 and 90mm fan units back in stock, these are the best fan unit combo on the market. Click on this link to our forum for a photo rundown on why our fans provide higher quality and spec compared to the competition: ALLOY FAN COMPARISON

Extreme Power Batteries have had some spec updates, RACE series 40c packs now have even higher spec wiring, 10AWG on the 2600mah packs and a huge 8AWG! on the 4400mah packs! Our E-LITE & RACE Series are the very latest cells with power and performance to match the best on the market.

Extreme RC is about to launch its own range of Custom 90mm foam jets, we will be offering bare white airframes for a range of popular 90mm models along with regular prepainted versions. All kits will come with modified fan units featuring German made Precision Wemotec components, plus some extra parts, building tips and photos.

Schuebeler rotors are coming into stock, both 70mm and 90mm hand layed carbon fibre rotors with integral shaft adapter, factory balanced ready to install! For those who want the best in high dynamic thrust fans.

APRIL 2010

The new Starmax F16 is in the air! Easy build, only a couple of minor and easy mods, and she hand launches like a trainer (which we expected being an F16). Build thread and video is in our forum, you can go directly to it HERE

The new JET-TENG Fully composite Hawks are starting to arrive. We are keeping a selection of kits on hand with the factory and hopefully by the end of the month the factory will have caught up with production and our stock will be sitting ready to ship at a moments notice! I have a T45 version on the way and will be doing another build thread in the forum, this kit is going to blow you away! Soon as its here I will get some closeup photos of the finish, this is a show quality model!

MARCH 2010

The new Starmax F16 is in and what a great looking kit too! I have started building a Hand Launch version with a hot 6 cell setup, other local builders are doing 8 cell setups with retracts so I figured best to do a version that many people will want to have! Build thread is on the way in our forum, you can go directly to it HERE

More news, the new FrSKY 2.4G module system has been tested and accepted by the MAAA and is now ok for use in all Australian clubs! The MAAA will be updating the MOP58 listing this week to show FrSKY as an accepted product.

Happy Easter! Big news on HET Aircraft!! The company has been undergoing internal changes and it would appear the European arm is gone, pricing for kits has come down considerably, in fact the HET kits are such good value for money now, the masses of foamie jets on the market are looking pretty sad.

We will be clearing out much of our foam models as they just cannot compare to the flight characteristics and robusteness of a composite model. Extreme RC is going back to its grass roots of absolute best of EDF, we will be concentrating on all the new fans and power systems that are soon to hit the market, lots of new motors from HET plus we have taken on MEGA Motors EDF range, superbly hand made in Europe, for the ultimate in performance and efficiency, a select range will be up on the website in the coming weeks.

FEBRUARY 2010

New 90mm size Jets on the way! The new Starmax F16 is coming hopefully by late March, we have just arranged the first order so keep a watch on the respective pages for these models for updates. Kit will come with the 90mm factory fan and retracts, the power systems we now have available will ensure everyone is happy with the performance! The F16 with some glass work and a nice 8 cell power system should be ballistic! These models will cater for the 5 cell lightweight brigade all the way up to the power hungry jet jockeys!

JANUARY 2010

Welcome to 2010! The new FrSKY 2.4G radio module range is now c-ticked and available to order from the website. Dealers will be getting information about this great new product over the next month or two, if you would like to see your local dealer carrying any of our products please email us with their details or ask them to contact us, we can supply many of our imported brands.

There has been a lot of talk on the new FrSKY radio modules, forums are buzzing with excitement about them, you can read some of the feedback HERE and HERE

SAPAC Viperjet is on the shelves and going fast! (pardon the pun) There is one flying locally and can be seen at our club SEMAC on a good weekend, the test ship is running one of the new Extreme Skyworld alloy fans and 6 cells, 2200 watts and a fair whack of speed! This is at the Extreme end of things, the stock 4 cell fan and motor is more than enough to propel any of the Sapac jets to pretty amazing speeds.

The new SAPAC MSD65MG Digital servos are going to be very popular with the jet guys, these little servos have more torque than an HS65MG, better resolution and the holding power from the digital circuit is unbeatable! A veyr impressive little servo that will be perfect for the Extreme ERC F16 and other small high performance models.

DECEMBER 2009

Lots of exciting things have been happening at Extreme RC AUSTRALIA! Lots of new stuff coming too!

First up the new website! Finally it is finished; we are hoping you find it an easy to use and informative site with plenty of great gear. We have just moved to a new premium local host so you will find the site is fast to load at any time of the day, plus with secure server driving our checkout you can now process your CC orders easily and safely, bear in mind we still process the actual CC offline to ensure utmost safety of your personal details.

We have some great new products on the way, new 2.4G radio modules will soon be certified and available to suit all older and current Futaba, JR, and Hitec radios with the module plugged into the back. I am currently flying all my craft with one of these new radios and so far so good! Full frequency hopping, a failsafe system and affordable receivers.

New chargers are coming in the new year, a good mid level 6 cell charger with a huge 200 watt output and a new DUO style charger which is essentially 2 chargers in the one beautifully finished case. More details on these once we have certification finished.

HI-END Technology has just released their new Minifan PRO 70mm size F86 SABRE! What a gorgeous model, new glass fuselage is now using epoxy resin and the fit and finish just gets better and better. We all love the Sabre and this one is sure to be a little rocket with an Extreme RC power system.
