Reedy 2400mAh & 3400mAh Stick Pack LiPos

Reedy have released all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPo batteries, meaning 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 wire 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.

Reedy 4200mAh 7.2V WolfPack

Due to increasing demand for economically priced high-capacity batteries, Reedy have released this 4200mAh 7.2V WolfPack. Because a battery pack is only as good as its individual cells, these packs are assembled using Reedy’s all-new high-tech SC-R cells. This exclusive cell features high capacity for extended run times while delivering maximum output thanks to its current-carrying capabilities and ultra-low internal resistance. Low resistance welded connections between each cell and thick 14AWG silicone power wires ensure maximum performance and reliability. Additionally, each pack comes equipped with an industry-standard Tamiya style connector.

Reedy VMX Concept R-46 IB4600 cells

Due to a steady rise in popularity of 1/12th scale as well as World GT class racing, Reedy has recognised the importance of offering 4-cell versions of their VMX Concept IB4600 Matched battery pack. Reedy’s exclusive VMX Concept makes great IB4600 Standard and EU Spec NiMH cells even better. The process begins by applying an intense energy pulse to new cells using high-tech equipment designed in house by our engineering staff. The end results of this process are reduced internal resistance, increased voltage output, and more power. These enhanced cells are cycled, then power-matched using a 35-amp discharge, a process which eliminates weak cells and those that do not fall within the exclusive percentage that are good enough to be hand selected as Reedy VMX R-46 grade.
