"RB-50 is not OEM from any company, it is 100% developed by TEAM WAVE, we have spend 2 years and lots of money in developing this speedo, we hope to deliver the most sophisticated speed controller to our customer."

Il a l'air bien.
Mais par contre sur leur site je le trouve pas.

Information additionnelle:

"A 25x25x10mm high speed fan is included
A 1500u super low resistance cap is included (1/10 resistance of super cap)"

"Capacitor is soldered to the + - of the banana plug, user can replace it with ease. Fan is soldered directly to the PCB (BEC port, 6V)

RB-50 is designed for racing, your brushless motors will come alive with the ability of this controller. This controller will definitely give you new driving experience, high top end speed smooth cornering and high punch."

"A thinner version will be available for 1/12 after RB-50."

Informations complémentaires:

"Time shift" is a kind of motor timing technology, the actual name should be "Phase shift". It will shift the motor phasing by software means.

"Turbo drive" is another new technology which can give you 10% more rpm on the straight.

The middle FETs are cooled by our "Direct flow" technology in which cool air are directly blow into the center of the ESC and hot air escape at the back of the ESC.

Since our speedo is designed for racing, we spend most of the time running 5cells/3.5R and 6cells/4.5R,9.5R

J'ai envoyé hier un mail à Team Wave pour savoir quand le RB-50 sera dispo, la réponse recu aujourd'hui :
RB-50 is not ready yet, please wait for 1-2 months.

[jeje76]

Ca yest ça commence à ce préciser!

Reste à voir combien ils vont le vendre

[Chrisnaps]

Je suis aussi impatient de connaitre le prix

Avec le RB50, le RB 30:

Designed to handle up to 7.5T brushless motors, as well as up to 7T brushed motors, the ESC has a rated current of 200A. Featuring the usual range of adjustable functions, the RB-30 sports a top mounted blue anodized heatsink for cooling and can fit in a large range of vehicles thanks to its small footprint. Also new from Team Wave, is a range of competition brushless motors called Linear, that are available in a large range of turns from 3.5T all the way up to 17.5T

RB-30 Brushless ESC Specifications
Brushless Motor: 7.5T
Brush Motor: 7T
Rated current: 200A Continuous/Phase
BEC: 6V, 3A Continuous
Input voltage: 4-8 Cells NiMh, 3Cells LiPo
Protection: Temp cut (adjustable), LiPo cut (adjustable)
Mode: Forward with brake (brush/brushless), Forward/Brake/Reverse (brushless)
Adjustment: Neutral Brake, Brake force, Turbo Drive, Time shift (motor timing), Throttle profile, Brake profile
Cooling fan: No cooling fan

Salut a tous,

Je vous presente un des premiers RB30 (le RB50 n est pas encore finalisé) de chez Team-Wave arrivé en France que j'ai actuellement monté sur un TC3 pour essai.
Je peux dejà vous dire que le vario se comportent plutot bien, qu il est moderemment chaud apres plus de 8min de roulage dans le sud (38° au soleil),
et apres perso je trouve tres sympa son boitier un peu plus petit que le Sphere, son systeme de reglage par un seul bouton et son interupteur qui inspire la confiance, le seul bemol concerne le condo livré d origine qui est un poil petit et qui merite d etre changé des le depart par quelque chose d'un peu plus serieux.

Déjà presenté sur le site, Team Wave devoile officiellement ces deux variateurs BL, le RB-50 et le RB-30.

Team Wave - RB-50 & RB-30 Professional speed controller (Brushless/Brush)

Introduction
As an innovative RC electronic developer, TEAM WAVE has devoted tremendous resources in developing new products. After the successful Lightning V2 discharger, we are happy to introduce our latest release: Racing brushless speed controller series RB-50 & RB-30.

RB50 is the top-of-the line, competition grade model while RB-30 provides all the features of RB-50 but at a fraction of the price for budget and club racers. Both controllers provide a wide range of tuning options for professional users including adjustable drag brake, turbo drive, time shift, throttle curve, brake curve, LiPo cut, temperature cut and brushless reverse. They are also easy to use, small in size and brushed motor compatible.

Sensored technology
Nowadays, sensored brushless system is the choice of virtually all World-class A-main drivers. All leading manufacturers are focusing on sensored technology instead of sensorless. With feedback coming from the sensor, no software calculation of rotor position is needed and the controller can react faster without cogging and delay (response time is less than 0.000001 sec). There is no more dependency on the type of motor you use nor the speed the car is travelling

Compare with traditional sensored brushless system, TEAM WAVE raised the technology to the next level by introducing the Time Shift technology - motor timing is no longer fixed in sensored brushless system. Together with our Turbo Drive technology which gives an instant extra boost to the motor at full throttle, smoothness and high top-end speed can now be achieved at the same time!

Smooth throttle response
Smooth throttle and brake responses are the keys to fast and consistent lap time. All TEAM WAVE racing brushless controller features 10-bit resolution in both forward and brake mode, i.e. 1024 steps for forward and 1024 steps for brake! Together with 9 throttle and 9 brake curves, there is always a profile that suits your driving style.

Big power in small size
The size of the controller is not compromised for high performance in the RB series. By utilizing high density multilayer multistack PCB, RB series brushless controllers provide enormous power to today's high-drain motor and at the same time features an ULDO (Ultra Low Drop Out) BEC (Battery Eliminated Circuit) which can deliver 3A continuous current without significant voltage drop (BEC output 6V at normal and over 5.6V at 3A load). Your expensive steering servo can now work at full force and won't loss power/speed at high traction tracks or quick chicane.

In RB50, a high power cooling fan is installed on top of the controller. A specially designed ventilation hole is drilled through the heatsink such that cool air can be blown directly into the controller to cool down the lower stack MOSFET and the hot air can then escape from the back of the controller. The heatsink is strategically shorter than the cooling fan such that cool air can also reach the bullet connector at the back for further cooling.

High quality and high fidelity
Every component used in the RB series is carefully chosen and specially designed with high quality and fidelity at a reasonable price. All components are imported from the original manufacturer and all controllers are designed/made in Hong Kong which ensures highest quality. Our passion is embedded in every design detail and no other OEM products can compare.

Expandable design
Both RB30 and RB50 are capable to update firmware through the optional handheld programmer. The handheld programmer not only provide easy setup of the controller but also features a USB link. With updateable firmware, you can enjoy all new features later without paying extra!

What you get?
All brushless controller comes with a power capacitor and a full colour instruction menu. RB-30 comes with high quality 14AWG wires (five colours) and RB-50 comes with TEAM WAVE ultra flex 12AWG wire (black) and coloured shrink wrap.
