Reedy Zappers DR 6600mAh SQ battery

Reedy’s new drag specific Zappers DR 6600mAh SQ-configuration batteries are now available. The SQ, or ‘square’ configuration was the brainchild of the Reedy engineering team as a superior alternative to saddle packs. While the design ran out of favour in the 1:10 off-road racing world, it shines in the drag racing world thanks to its low centre of gravity and wide footprint, which provide excellent stability without sacrificing performance. Zappers DR batteries use state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with advancements in construction that result in improved power output and internal resistance without sacrificing durability. The pack features a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. It is not a secret that more voltage equals more power, so there is no easier way to increase power and top speed than a higher charge voltage. But even when the typical 8.44V (4.22V/cell) charging limit is enforced, Zappers DR shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage when multiple passes are required between charges.

Reedy RT5012A HV digital competition 1:8 servo

Reedy’s new RT5012A HV digital competition 1:8 servo is perfect for 1:8 buggy and truggy racers who seek the ultimate combination of performance and durability. With input from the Reedy racing team, they’ve equipped the RT5012A with a powerful brushless motor that creates incredible torque and speed, carefully tuned for maximum drivability, and suitable for both steering and throttle applications. An advanced microprocessor provides precision steering and throttle control, resulting in more consistent and faster lap times. 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 RT5012A features HV compatibility, LiPo-HV RX batteries can be used to take full advantage of the RT5012A’s capabilities.

Reedy Radon 2 Crawler 550 brushed motors

Reedy have introduced their all-new Radon 2 Crawler 550 brushed motors. The Crawler 550 can easily be recognised by its extended length can which houses a longer armature and magnets, resulting in more torque than a typical shorter 540 can. An increase in torque makes the Crawler 550 ideal for heavier rigs or when encountering higher grip or steeper terrain. Thanks to the Crawler 550’s 5-slot design, it still is capable of delivering precision throttle control, which is ideal for traversing the varying and changing terrain encountered on the trail. Dual ball bearings improve performance and reliability while adjustable timing allows for adjustments to compensate for different drivetrain configurations that require reverse motor rotation, and for fine-tuning power output. The Radon 2 Crawler 550 motor is available in 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20-turn versions to suit a variety of applications and speed requirements.

Reedy Zappers SG4 HV-LiPo 2S batteries

New for 2021, Reedy introduce their new Zappers SG4 HV-LiPo 2S batteries. Zappers SG4 batteries incorporate state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with advancements in construction that result in incremental improvements in power output and internal resistance with huge gains in durability. Featuring a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, meaning that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. It is not a secret that more voltage equals more power, so there is no easier way to increase power and top speed than a higher charge voltage. Even when the typical 8.40V (4.2V/cell) charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG4 shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. Available in several configurations, including all-new 2S Slim Stick and 4S Shorty models, for a variety of on-road and off-road applications. A high quality, durable hard case helps prevent damage while embedded socket connectors keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum. Male ESC connectors are included.
