KO Propo RSx3-one10 Flection Type-T servo

KO Propo have introduced their new RSx3-one10 Type-T servo, specially developed for the use with Tamiya brushless speed controllers. The steering servo builds on the proven RSx3-one10 series, however a specially developed coreless motor makes for lower current consumption, ideal for speed controller with less powerful BEC systems such as Tamiya’s brushless ESC that features a 1.5A BEC system. The servo is aimed towards the use in Tamiya racing series where the Tamiya speedo is mandatory but it can be used with basically every other electronic speed controller. In addition the servo features five programmed settings, for high-grip asphalt, low-grip asphalt, low-grip carpet, Tamiya World Championship blue carpet and the Tamyia Kakegawa track, all of which are accessible using KO Propo’s HCS programming interface. To further make the servo stand out it features light blue case details and a black high-flex receiver wire.

JConcepts introduce new solid axle MT tyres

Coming from JConcepts are the Golden Years and JConcepts Tire, two new thread for solid axle monster trucks. Starting with the Golden Years tyres, the full-cleat tyre just looks so vintage, and JConcepts explored new heights and lug creation techniques to ensure the new tyre had the depth of a champion. The chevron pattern might look run of the mill, however, a lot of work has been placed into the tyre to allow the trucks to grip surfaces ranging from carpet, Astroturf and, of course, dirt. The size of the tyre has been altered to have a 1/10th scale large appearance that make vintage monsters, monsters. The round profile is there too, with included foam inserts and the design built into the carcass, the truck can have the bubbly look of the 1980’s. Sidewall lettering is very detailed on the Golden Years, allowing drivers to travel back in time, shine them up and display for the fans. The Golden Years are available in soft, blue compound and indoor racing, gold compound. The items are supplied with open cell, large profile inserts to cushion those hard landings and fill-up the carcass.
