From the Original Race-Blend to today’s World’s Blend, Sidewinder offers one phenomenal heart-thumping ride to those prepared to take it! We won’t waste your time with a lot of propaganda about Sidewinder being for everybody, it’s not!!! Even our RTR fuel is built for speed. Absolutely, no other fuel maker on the planet is more obsessive about raw power than we are.

Sidewinder increases RPM, with our exclusive MTEC combustion enhancer without overheating or pre-ignition. Which means it will squeeze the maximum muscle from your stock or modified engines. MTEC is also a stealthy additive that will not show up under typical fuel test procedures.

Sidewinder has earned worldwide recognition as the ultimate performance fuel. In 2002, alone, our fuels powered 11 National Champions and 3 World Champions. Sidewinder has been featured in numerous magazines including Nitro, RC Car, Car Action and Extreme, receiving praise for power and performance. Power is not compromised in our fuels, so when you’re ready to upgrade we’ll be waiting.

Acorn Racing has released this servo extension and protector, which is a solution to servo wire connectors coming loose. They came up with a simple design that is a small, light, easy, effective and hassle free way to secure the connection of servo wire connectors that in turn can be mounted anywhere with a small piece of mounting tape. This protector allows the insertion of connectors only when the male adaptor is fully inserted into the female. No binding or crimping of the servo wire is needed and the connectors will not come loose when fitted into this housing. A specially made 80mm servo extension is included.

Acorn Racing announce the release of this 4200mAh 30C hardcase Li-po Battery.Designed using the latest technology for Lipobatteries to handle the current high-current demands of today’s R/C Power applications. This new series 4200mAh 30C 2S1P Li-pos offers extremely high voltage, long run time and superior consistent sensational performance and true 30C discharge. They are specifically designed and tailor-made to fit into almost all popular r/c models in the r/c market!

Featured in a durable hardcase in order to keep the cells from being damaged during use. The new LiPos features same dimensions as standard 6-cell Sub-C battery packs and fits in all standard 1/10th and 1/8th scale onroadand offroad cars.

The hardcase also features some vertical standard Sub-C cell bulges to securely fit standard Sub-C pre-cutted chassis to ensure an accurate and firm fitting in each situation. This battery measures 137mm x 47mm x 22mm and weighs a mere 230grams and is built within ROAR’s Legal specifications.

Acorn Racing have released its new ‘revolutionary’ C-clip design to exceed the expectations for all RC Car enthusiasts around the World. This innovative snap-on concept eliminates the occurrences of flying C-clips as the fitting process merely requires a push-pull action with the use of your fingers removing the need for an extra tool for the fitting process. Moreover, it removes the possibility of plier-shaft contact where damages are commonly found and the chances of C-clips lost due to non-perpendicular insertion is reduced by almost 99%.

These C-clips comes in 2 sizes, 4mm and 6mm.

After a decent wait, the 5500mAh 36C 2S1P 7.4V Carbon Edition Lipo is finally out! With fellow racers’ and enthusiasts in mind, Acorn Racing Team and their fellow engineers understand that everyone will want a li-po that is powerful yet legal for all types of races.

After much research and testing with drivers and fellow professional engineers, these long awaited Li-pos are finally out. Prioritising the terms and conditions set by International R/C Organizations like ROAR, IFMAR, EFRA, BRCA…etc in the making and design. Safety factors were not forgotten and these cells are being tested for UN38.3 certification.

With all the thoughts and rules during the design and construction, we have developed these new Lipos for all racers! All Acorn Race Type Lipos are housed in a crash proof plastic case and produces 30% more run time and weighs 40% less than traditional Nicd and Nimh batteries. These 5500mAh cells are made in 2S1P configurations which allows proper balancing and charging. This is the first batch of prototype that was made and sent to our distributors.

The final version will be featured in 2 to 3 weeks time following ROAR approval. We have a small dimension prototype that does not require shimming for the approval right now. Please stay tuned for the release of the final version upon ROAR’s approval!

Acorn Racing introduces the NEW 4900mAh 34C 2S1P 7.4V Carbon Edition Race Lipo. This new generation of lipos is equipped with 34C constant discharge and 48C Burst Capabilities. Like its fellow siblings, this ROAR Approved Lipo (01 May 2010) is housed in a translucent black durable hardcase in order to keep the cells from being damaged during use.

These cells are specifically developed using state of art LIPB technology for maximum power delivery and unbelievable low internal resistance.
Power is connected through 4mm banana connectors, while the balancer uses a 2mm version.

Sub-c bulges were eliminated from the design so that this outstanding product can go into models with or without sub-c slots in the chasis. This battery configuration is suitable for both touring car and off road buggy. This model of battery has been made more compact to fit all makes of cars without the need for shimming during installation.

We understand that racers do not need a charging harness for every battery they own. Thus, charging harnesses are not included in the package to keep the cost lower
for racers.

Following the Release of 4200mAh 30C 2S1P 7.4V Hardcase Race Lipo, Acorn Racing have introduced another edition of this competitive High Discharge Race Lipo.

Fitted in a Carbon look hardcasing to ensure enough protection for these high discharge lipos. Like its older brother, this version of batteries  offers extremely high voltage, long run time and superior consistent sensational performance with true 30C discharge, this model also has an improved version of the electronic chip to produce even more consistent power. With numerous feedbacks and testing from racers, this carbon edition Li-po is further improved with a gold plated 4mm banana type connector to reduce unnecessary resistance. This battery weighs a mere 228grams, with this reduction in overall weight, the overall weight balance can be further balance with counter weights at critical positions within the chassis. A low Centre of Gravity and a balanced chassis further enhanced the manuverbility and performance in R/C Racing and is especially good for stock class races.

The carbon edition battery takes on the positive aspect generic positive aspect design of the older brother possessing a hardcase which also features some vertical standard Sub-C cell bulges to securely fit standard Sub-C pre-cut chassis to ensure an accurate and firm fitting in each situation. This model of battery measures 137.5mm x 47.5mm x 21mm and is also built within ROAR’s Legal specifications.

After the release of Acorn Racing’s 4200mAh Carbon Edition Race Lipo, Acorn Racing has added a new model to the collection. The 3800mAh 2S1P Race Lipo with a consistent 36C burst! We understand that we do not need a very huge capacity for the stock class but we need the cells to give a very good punch in this class, this race version Lipo is specially formulated with Stock Racing in mind.

Very much like it’s 2 older brothers, this version of batteries offers extremely high voltage over the traditional Nimh. It provides a very consistent punch on top of the burst thus giving  true superior consistent sensational performance  as an overall. With a weight reduction in mind during the design, this battery is created with a significant overall weight reduction of almost 20 grams. This sturdy race series weighs a mere 208 grams only. Like the earlier releases, this new range of battery is specifically designed and tailor-made to fit into almost all popular r/c models in the r/c market!

It is featured in a durable hardcase measuring (139×47x23.5mm) within ROAR Legal’s specifications, in order to keep the cells from being damaged during use. These new LiPos have the same dimension as a standard 6-cell Sub-C battery pack configuration and fits in all standard 1/10th and 1/8th scale onroad and offroad cars.

We just got to say this, “At Acorn Racing we are racers too!”
