Reedy competition brushless ESC – First look

During last week’s IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championships Team Associated showed us their upcoming Reedy competition brushless speed controller, internally called the black box. Designed for on-road and off-road use the yet nameless speedo is being tested mostly by Team Associated’s own Rick Hohwart and features an integrated on/off switch and an all aluminium case along sturdy direct solder tabs. The controller is designed with both stock and modified racers in mind and its software will have a secret feature called speed sensitive drake brake which they didn’t go into more detail about. The 1S to 2S compatible controller will include a programmer and is set for a release in December or January.

Exclusive – Reedy 5800mAh ‘Square’ pack

Exclusive - Reedy 5800mAh 'Square' pack

During this week’s IFMAR 1/10th Buggy World Championships Reedy gave us an exclusive on their new 5800mAh 65C ‘Square’ LiPo hardcase battery pack. Sporting dimensions like a conventional saddle pack the battery does away with the need to use a jumper wire or the often fiddly charging harnesses associated with handling saddle packs. Instead the pack has the usual 4mm bullet-type connector tubes and a single 2mm balancer port making charging and handling easier. It is designed for vehicles that have the battery sitting as a single block in the chassis like the Centro, the TLR 22 or the Team Durango 4WD buggy. We are told it will be available in 4 weeks.

Reedy LiPo receiver battery packs

Reedy announce the addition of two new LiPo receiver batteries to their lineup. The 2300mAh battery features high capacity, which makes it perfect for enthusiasts who don’t want to worry about continually having to re-charge their receiver battery, and for serious racers who are competing in long main events. The 1200mAh battery is a lightweight alternative that can improve vehicle handling by reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. It can also offer improved flexibility when it comes to left/right and front/rear weight distribution. Made from high-quality cells the packs are equipped with a standard power plug that fits directly into the receiver or switch harness, while a JST-XH balance connector allows for simple balance charging.
