rcmonkey.jp on the BLC160 PRO: app-only settings, no PROGBOX
A short look at the Japanese RC news site ラジコンもんちぃ, whose October 1 post lays out G-Force's BLC160 PRO Brushless ESC — reverse-polarity protection, a 160A rating and settings you can only reach through an app module.
Japanese RC news
What rcmonkey.jp publishes
ラジコンもんちぃ (rcmonkey.jp) is a Japanese-language RC news site that posts maker announcements and community video round-ups at announcement length: specs, part numbers, release window and what the maker itself says the part does. The material at hand does not name who runs it.
Its October 1 post on G-Force's BLC160 PRO Brushless ESC is a clean sample of the format. The competition ESC is listed as part number G0470, rated 160A continuous and 850A burst, compatible with sensored and sensorless brushless motors, with a compatibility line that names 1/10 touring cars. The case is full aluminum with reverse-polarity protection, the capacitor is described as a non-polar high-capacity unit, a large-diameter low-profile cooling fan is included, and the external power switch can be placed to suit a chassis layout. Release is given as late October 2026; the post as published does not state a price.
One detail is worth reading twice before you order. Changing settings requires the separately sold GF-Air Module (G0409) and the GF Device Link app on a phone or tablet, and the post says the ESC is not compatible with PROGBOX (G0017) or Wi-Fi Link (G0034).
The rest of the recent run
The same desk has been working through a busy fortnight of drift-adjacent posts: HPI Racing's Stage-D10 - JSM Drift Club video, shot with local drivers in Shanghai — the RWD kit whose maker documents sit on YAW's Stage-D10 manuals page — and MST's Stealth Anti-Detachment Magnetic Body Mount, a magnetic mount with an anti-drop structure.
There is also a G-Force thread running longer than this one ESC: the site posted episode one of the ESC strand of 広坂正美's drift lesson series. Elsewhere, MRC's weight and ESC mount for the TT-01, TT-02, BT-01 and MB-01, RLAARLO's LSD for the RWD XDX, a maker-by-maker tour of the All Japan Model and Hobby Show filmed by 麻婆亀仙流, and a small-scale Mini-Z MRD drift course at ラジコン天国名古屋店 shown by かずもんちゃんねる.
