Reedy HV digital aluminium competition servos

Team Associated have introduced two new Reedy competition servos. The RS1806A Hi-Speed (0.06s/18.4kg-cm) and RT2207A Hi-Torque (0.07s/21.2kg-cm) Digital Competition servo were designed with 1/8th buggy and truggy racing in mind as their all-aluminium case reduces operating temperatures while increasing rigidity and strength. Durable precision metal gear drivetrain and advanced microprocessor improve vehicle control and on-track performance while the high-voltage compatibility allows the use of 2S LiPo receiver batteries, resulting in high speeds and maximum torque. The servos are equipped with powerful coreless motors, they are water and dust resistant and come with aluminium mounting hardware and an aluminium clamping servo horn.

Reedy Sonic 540-M3 10.5T & 21.5T short stack motors

Reedy’s Sonic 540-M3 brushless motors are now also available in short stack 10.5T and 21.5T variants. A competition-proven short stack stator, wound with pure copper magnet wire and low-resistance collector rings, walks the edge of legality in exchange for maximum power output and RPM. Despite being designed for 1S applications, short stack motors can, under the right circumstances, create a power advantage in 2S applications such as Formula and 4WD GT classes. Like all 540-M3 motors, these new models feature a three-piece, CNC-machined can to reduce weight while improving airflow, component fit, and bearing alignment. Heavy-duty silver-plated solder tabs reduce resistance, feature a cupped profile to aid soldering, and are well supported to prevent internal connections from fatiguing over time. A balanced, high-strength sintered rotor provides fade-free performance thanks to improved manufacturing processes. Both models meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

Reedy charge leads & XH balance board

New from Reedy comes a range of charge leads as well as an XH balance board for 2S to 6S LiPo battery packs. Starting with the wires, first up is a 7-in-1 charge lead that comes pre-wired with six of the most used connector types such as a red BEC, universal-type, Tamiya and T-type plug. Also attached is a dedicated glow-plug adapter and a blank positive and negative wire that allow you to attach a seventh plug of your choice. On the input side 4mm bullet-type connectors are suitable for most of today’s AC and DC chargers. Also new is a T-plug charge lead that can be used both for direct charging or to attach a range of adapters to and last but not least comes the 2-6S XH balance board that can be used with any charger that requires a balance board with XH connectors.
