Reedy RC4020A HV Digital Competition crawler servo

Reedy’s new RC4020A HV Digital Competition crawler servo has been trail-tested and engineered for use in competition-level trail trucks, crawlers, and monster trucks. A powerful motor creates incredible torque without sacrificing speed, while an advanced microprocessor provides precision steering control. An all-metal gear set is designed for strength and durability while a CNC-machined full-aluminium case reduces operating temperatures for fade-free operation. Because the RC4020A features HV 8.4V compatibility, external BEC units can be utilised to create an incredible 50 kg-cm (695 in-oz) of torque.
