Keven Hébert has signed a 2 year extension to his contract to run Reedy LiPo batteries, Team Associated’s TC6 & 12R5.1 and LRP brushless systems. Reedy department manager Rick Hohwart was excited to be able to continue working closely with Keven, saying, “Keven is not only a driver who can win races, but who has been instrumental in the development of the TC6 and 12R5.1 platforms. He is not only fast, but is always willing to help others with setups and questions concerning motor and ESC gearing and tuning, as well as battery care and maintenance. He is a great asset and an excellent representative of the Reedy brand.” Keven was excited about the signing, saying:
Reedy, Team Associated and LRP have supported me for the last three years, which has allowed me to get where I am today. I am very happy to be with such a strong team for the next two years. I have made many friends at Reedy/Team Associated/LRP and I would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to keep doing what I like the most.

Reedy’s new WolfPack LiPo batteries meet the performance demands of both the casual enthusiast and the club racer. Generous discharge capabilities increase overall power and top speed while high capacities extend run times far beyond what is capable with NiMH batteries or lower-quality LiPo batteries. Each battery features Reedy’s molded hard case for maximum crash protection in sizes that fit the most popular car configurations. High quality cell manufacturing and construction techniques result in reliable operation and maximum cycle-life. Unlike some brands that utilize power-robbing ‘universal’ plugs, these batteries come equipped with beefy silicone wires and a low-resistance Deans Ultra Plug connector. An integrated balancing harness with a JST-XH connector is included.
Balance charging LiPo batteries is one of the best ways to prolong the life of your LiPo battery and achieve maximum performance. Reedy now offers two charge harnesses for balance charging 2S batteries with 4mm socket connectors. The Standard version is equipped with two 4mm connectors and one 2mm connector while the Saddle pack version is equipped with four 4mm connectors. Both feature a JST-XH balance connector and 12 gauge silicone wires which can be equipped with a plug compatible with your favorite charger.

An ultra-lightweight heatsink head with ‘diamond cut’ fins improves cooling while lowering the center of gravity. Available in December, the 121VR-ST is a race-proven engine that is capable of producing world-class power and fuel economy with a driver-friendly linear power band.
