3. Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion
The QuicRun Fusion Pro is the evolution and improvement of Hobbywing's first 2-in-1 combo, the standard QuicRun Fusion. It provides a space-saving and lightweight motor and controller in one unit for 1/10 crawlers. Now even stronger and better. Often, space in the vehicle is limited, and there is little room to neatly organize the various cables. But that is finally a thing of the past. With a length of just 58 mm, it is only as large as a typical motor and weighs only 209 g, making it hard to believe that a motor and controller are combined here. Thanks to the intelligent torque and speed control, a crawler with this combo can easily adapt to any situation. Of course, the Fusion Pro is equipped with an excellent waterproof and dustproof casing. This means that the fun truly knows no bounds. Even the electronic switch is appropriately protected. The technology used is called FOC (Field-Oriented Control) and is responsible for this superb driving feel. The performance of this drive has increased by a remarkable 8% compared to its predecessor, and power consumption has even been reduced by 30%. This results in less battery capacity being used and extended driving time.
Features:
- 2-in-1: Motor and controller combined in one
- Compact design ideal for saving space and reducing weight
- Noticeable performance improvement
- FOC drive, ideal for crawlers
- 3 operating modes: Normal (Forward, Reverse with brake), Normal (Forward, Reverse).

6. Carson Automodell Brushed Fahrtregler Fahrregler Dragster 70A
Art. No.: 500906264 Speed controller Dragster Brushed 70A. The sensitive speed controller for RC models on a scale of 1:10 is waterproof and can therefore also be installed in boats. It is also suitable for use in 1:10 buggies, on-road and off-road vehicles and crawlers. The controller is designed for 2 to 3 LiPo cells; NiMH batteries can also be used with a T-plug adapter.
7. Hacker Flight Controller Para RC Mix
The Para-RC Mix has been specifically developed for RC paragliding and remote-controlled skydivers. The special mixing program for altitude and lateral functions allows for realistic control. This mixer moves the pilot's arm fully from top to bottom when the transmitter stick is moved 50% to the right. The left arm moves correspondingly to the left. Additionally, the brake function is included. When the elevator control stick is pulled down from the neutral position (50%), both arms move proportionally from top to bottom. Thus, left, right, and braking are mixed, similar to a delta mixer, but with significantly more control range.
Thanks to the Para-RC Mix, the annoying rubber bands on the transmitter stick, which have been used by paraglider and skydiver pilots, are no longer necessary. The Para-RC Mix is simply connected between the receiver and servos, without requiring any mixer programming in the transmitter.
