Chillout Systems has continued to evolve its product line, and this is the new Pro Lite cooler. It, unsurprisingly, features everything that the Pro cooler does, except that it’s smaller and yet features 12% more cooling capacity.
In fact, the Pro Lite is so small that it requires an external hand pump to fill it initially because it did away with the internal priming system. The Pro Lite additionally features an external inline fan and completely does away with the onboard fan system. After extensive testing, Chillout realized that the external inline fan works better for pushing air through the condenser than the onboard fans would. The external control unit has been updated with a liquid level indicator. The fully-carbon-cased Pro Lite will likely be around the same price as the current Pro unit when it becomes available, but it will only weigh half as much, coming in at a scant 5.8 lbs.
ECU Master has come out with a new power distribution box that raises the output count from 16 to 24 high-side outputs. With the same exciting data logging and CAN capabilities as the PMU-16, the PMU-24 just gives you more in the same form factor. Additionally, ECU Master’s Pro EMUs have been updated with support for direct injection engines, making them usable for much more modern engine choices without having to rework things for traditional port injection.
Sabelt is no stranger to innovation in the racing apparel arena, and their new Geckotech glove line continues that trend. The Geckotech palm features a bumpy surface which helps improve wheel grip in high-torque applications, which also can help reduce hand fatigue for longer driving sessions.
When Sabelt decides to do something, they don’t come at it with half measures. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Sabelt’s foray into the sim racing market involves a complete lineup of cockpits, accessories, and seats to accommodate everyone from the Formula-style racer to the rally driver. Underhung pedal mount options, different wheel mounts, and more choices are all available, and the cockpits bring a distinctive style to an otherwise me-too market that is in a race to the bottom.
Take a look at sabeltsimracing.com for more information, pricing, and availability. Oh, and to top it off, Sabelt is also coming out with a line of sim-focused gloves derived from their motorsport models with features targeted at the sim market, like short cuffs, different grips, fun colors and patterns, and special finger and thumb grip for manipulating smaller sim racing controls.
