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.

JR Mitch moves to Reedy Engines

Debuting at the recent CRCRC Winter Midwest Championship, Team Associated factory driver JR Mitch will utilize the Reedy 121 VR engine in his RC8 and RC8T for 2009. JR races out of Florida and is one of the fastest drivers in his region and as a former ROAR National finalist, IFMAR World’s semi-finalist and Florida State Off road Series champion, JR brings great results and promotional value to the Reedy engine line. When asked about the switch, JR had this to say.

I’ve worked together with OS promoting and running their products for just over the last year. It’s a difficult move but I’m looking forward to my new venture with Reedy. Thank you to John Stokes and Scott Cramer for their support; I greatly appreciate all that you have done. With Reedy I look forward to working Richard Saxton, Ryan Maifield and the whole team in 2009.
