Jason Branham joins the Reedy team

2009 ROAR 1/8th National finalist and multi-time ROAR Regional and R/C Pro Regional Champion, Jason Branham has joined the Reedy team. Jason will be using the recently crowned ROAR & BRCA National Champion 121 VR engine along with Reedy batteries and accessories. Having just received his engines late last week, Jason broke in the engines and headed to the track. His initial comments were nothing but praise.

I’m amazed with the power the motor makes. It’s very smooth…with the Factory Team 2035 pipe and header I thought the motor was going to explode down the straight! I was also impressed with how crisp the motor runs and how smooth it idles.

Jason brings an impressive resume to the Reedy team and looks to finish the year strong with events planned at the Texas State R/C Pro Series, R/C Pro Finals, the Nitrocross World Championships mixed in with local racing at Mike’s Hobbies & Gulf Coast Raceway. If you’re in the area and have a Reedy engine, don’t hesitate to stop by Jason’s pit, introduce yourself and ask for a pro tune.

Reedy 40C 1:12 & 1:8 Competition LiPo Batteries

For 1/12th scale Reedy have released an all-new 40C 1S 3.7V LiPo featuring a stepped case that allows bodies to be mounted properly without interfering with the battery. The use of convenient 3.5mm sockets works with the stepped case design to create additional room plus their smaller size reduces weight while their male counterparts more closely match the commonly used 14 and 16 gauge ESC wires. A capacity of 4600 mAh at 40C means long run times and high power for all racing classes. Handy locating tabs allow the battery to fit neatly into existing battery slots and are easily removable (without compromising case strength) for flat chassis applications. Also new from Reedy is their all-new 40C 4S 14.8V LiPo which delivers insane power and extended runtimes thanks to its 40C rating and 5000mAh capacity. This battery fits perfectly in Team Associated’s RC8e, SC8e, and RC8Te and is suitable for use in many other chassis’. For minimum resistance and maximum power delivery, 10 gauge wires are pre-wired and ready to add your favorite connector. Lastly, a 4S balancing harness makes balancing and balance charging simple and convenient.

Reedy 5.0, 5.5 & 6.0mm Carburettor Venturis

Reedy have announced the release of three all-new carburetor venturis for the 121VR series engine. These new venturis are available in 5.0mm, 5.5mm, and 6.0mm and serve as a useful fine tuning option for serious nitro racers. Smaller venturis help increase fuel mileage, which translates into longer run times between pit stops. Reducing the number of pit stops over the course of a main event could mean the difference between winning and finishing off the podium. They are also an effective way to reduce power output and improve drivability on low-grip or blown-out track surfaces. Each restrictor is sold individually and features laser etching of the venturis’ size for easy identification.

Reedy 2400mAh & 3400mAh get TCS approval

Reedy’s all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPos, which were announced back in February, have been declared legal for use in Tamiya TCS Series competition. The rounded stick pack profile means they are a perfect fit in cars that accept stick packs exclusively, such as Tamiya M-chassis vehicles. However, their universal size means that they can fit in any electric vehicle that accepts 7.2V NiMH stick battery packs. An additional design characteristic is the single cell “humps” that key into chassis that accept NiMH batteries in a side-by-side configuration. Economically priced, both packs are perfect for spec class competitions due to the fitment in a wide variety of cars. A Tamiya style connector with 12AWG comes standard, but the connector is easily changed to accommodate individual requirements.
