PR S1 V3 FM & MM carbon fibre rear shock tower

The shock towers were developed as a result of testing and preparation for the upcoming IFMAR Offroad Worlds to be held later this year. The shock stays feature new shock mounting positions that are lower and spaced further apart to provide new tuning options for improved track handling and they are available for the FM and MM versions of the S1 V3.

Reedy 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor

Reedy have introduced their new 550-SL4 sensorless brushless motor for 1/10th scale 4WD RTR vehicles. Due to its sensorless 4-pole configuration, the motor operates powerfully, efficiently, and reliably in a variety of vehicles and applications. The 3500kV rating provides plenty of speed with 2S LiPo batteries but installing a 3S LiPo battery for even greater speeds is also possible. A high-strength rotor provides plenty of torque and resists overheating better than 2-pole alternatives. The motor comes pre-wired with flexible silicone wires and 3.5mm bullet connectors to reduce power-robbing resistance and heat. Triple insulated windings, a hardened 5mm steel shaft, and oversized ball bearings that enhance reliability round out the package.
