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.

AUGUST 14: The new VECTOR is arriving this week! Its been a bit of a debacle getting these in, A-RC had banking issues which upset our first order and delayed things by 4 weeks, but its all on track now, the first order is due on Friday 19 and the second shipment is being processed and hopefully ships today which means we will see it end of next week.

JULY 2010

JULY 9: The new VECTOR Jet will be in stock just after mid July! The new VECTOR Jet has cool sleek looks and comes packed with a powerful brushless punch!  Featuring a 64mm fan unit and high powered brushless outrunner, the vector runs on 4 cell batteries and flies as fast as it looks. Comes with fixed undercarriage for ground takeoffs and can be easily hand launched with the power available.

This is an ARF kit and comes with 64mm fan and motor, 45A ESC, all servos, a 2200mah 4s1p battery and matching charger.

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.
