Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for connecting an auxiliary device to a model vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes an accessory port connected to an electronic speed controller and an accessory connector connected to the auxiliary device. The system further includes a battery and accessory port connected to an electronic speed controller. An accessory connector connected to the auxiliary device is designed to connect to the accessory port. The electronic speed controller provides control to the auxiliary device. The method includes providing an electronic speed controller connected to an accessory port and connecting an accessory connector to the accessory port. The accessory connector is further connected to the auxiliary device. The method further includes attaching the auxiliary device to the model vehicle and controlling the auxiliary device via the electronic speed controller.
Abstract: A battery charger may accommodate simultaneous charging of one or more batteries. The battery charger may also accommodate high power charging of a single battery. Li-type and/or Ni-type Batteries equipped with RFID technology may communicate with the battery charger equipped with similar technology to provide default charge settings in response to battery chemistry type, cell count, recommended charge rates, number of charges on the battery, among other information. The charge parameters may be user-adjustable in an ‘advanced mode’ of the battery charger. Several safety features may be included.
Abstract: The present invention provides for a protective enclosure comprising a base comprising a first continuous mating surface and at least one conveyance aperture, a cover comprising a second continuous mating surface, wherein the second continuous mating surface is configured to form a seal with the first continuous mating surface, and a clamp, wherein at least a portion of the clamp is coupleable to the base, wherein a mouth of the clamp is configured to be offset from the aperture when the clamp is coupled to the base, wherein the clamp comprises a first sealing layer, and wherein the clamp is configured to seal the aperture against contaminants. The protective enclosure may be configured for use in a remotely controllable model vehicle to protect a control module.

Abstract: A battery single charger may accommodate Li-type and Ni-type batteries, having default charge settings and user-adjustable charge parameters in an ‘advanced mode’. Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries equipped with RFID technology and integrated balance taps may communicate with a device such as a battery charger equipped with similar technology providing information such as chemistry type, cell count, recommended charge rates, number of charges on the battery, among other types of information. Several safety features may be included.
