Reedy 1416-C2L Dual AC/DC competition balance charger

Associated Electrics have introduced the new Reedy 1416-C2L Dual AC/DC competition balance charger. The device features a high-performance microprocessor, specialised operating software, and many advanced features make it the perfect charging solution for new hobbyists, casual enthusiasts, or hardcore racers. Simultaneous charging of two batteries at up to 14A is possible thanks to a powerful integrated power supply. Storage of up to 10 different charge profiles per channel allows for easy access to your most commonly used settings. End Voltage Control gives racers an added option to regulate power output and calibrate voltage, while 1S Balance Mode results in accurate voltage readings when charging 1S batteries. Safety has not been overlooked with the 1416-C2L thanks to its lithium-specific charging scheme that requires balance charging in modes appropriate for lithium batteries. Nitro racers haven’t been overlooked thanks to a specific mode designed for single-cell NiMH igniter batteries. In addition to its long list of powerful features, the 1416-C2L features an attractive exterior with a compact footprint and front-facing outputs to maximise pit space.

Reedy HV aluminium motor fans

Reedy introduce their new HV aluminium motor fans featuring a CNC-machined housing for maximum durability. Silicone lead wires provide extra protection against heat, while a handy 195mm extension cable is simple to install by plugging directly into your receiver where it operates of BEC voltage. Because they feature HV compatibility, they can also be soldered directly to ESC battery terminals when using 2S batteries to achieve maximum RPM and cooling. Available in 30mm and 40mm versions.

Reedy steel under-battery weight sets

New from Reedy are steel under-battery weight sets for both shorty and stick configurations. These weights are the ideal solution for meeting minimum weight requirements, equalising left/right weight distribution, and/or lower the vehicle’s centre of gravity for improved handling. Each set is precision cut from steel with the weight value laser etched onto each piece along with the world-famous Reedy logo. Each set contains three weight options, which can be used individually or combined to achieve the desired result.

Reedy Zappers SG3 Competition 1S & 4S LiHV packs

Associated Electrics have introduced the new Reedy Zappers SG3 LiHV 1S and 4S batteries. Zappers SG3 batteries feature state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with an emphasis on lower internal resistance with improved durability and cycle-life. More power, improved durability, and high capacity provide world-class performance. Zappers SG3 batteries feature a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. Even when the typical 4.20V/cell charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG3 cells shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. Zappers SG3 batteries are available in several configurations 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. New for 2020 are the 1/12th scale specific 8200mAh 85C 3.8V and 6600mAh 115C 3.8V 1S packs as well as the 6400mAh and 5200mAh LP 15.2V 4S packs, the latter are ideal for demanding 1/8th scale applications.

Reedy Sonic 540-M4 competition brushless motor

Available now from Reedy is their new Sonic 540-M4 competition brushless motor. Internally, the 540-M4 is very similar to that of the 540-M3 that it replaces – it produces the same linear powerband and excellent mid-range feel that have become synonymous with Reedy’s modified motors. However, changes can be good when they serve a purpose. In the case of the 540-M4, the inner bearing has been moved so that it is part of the can instead of the sensor assembly, which more precisely aligns the rotor within the magnetic field while reducing noise and vibration. Externally, the motor has been shortened, which results in more centralised weight distribution within the chassis. The reduced 50.3mm length, combined with improvements to the can design, results in a 5g to 10g reduction in weight. A balanced, high-strength rotor provides powerful fade-free performance. A variety of optional rotors are available to fine-tune for specific applications and tracks. Precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to reliably accommodate high RPM loads. Several versions, including .0T “even” and a 1/12th scale 1S variant, are available and all meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

Reedy Zappers SG3 Competition 2S LiHV batteries

Reedy have introduced their new Zappers SG3 Competition 2S LiHV batteries for the 2020 season. They feature state-of-the-art silicon graphene LiPo cell chemistry with an emphasis on lower internal resistance with improved durability and cycle-life, resulting in more power, improved durability, and high capacity for exceptional performance. Zappers SG3 batteries feature a 7.6 nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. Even when the typical 8.40V charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG3 cells shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. The standard footprint stick line-up includes a 9600mAh 85C Stick (25.1mm/335g), 8200mAh 115C Stick (25.1mm/318g), 6000mAh 115C LP Stick (22.5mm/270g), and 5500mAh 85C ULP (19.5mm/230g). The shorty line up feature a 6100mAh 85C (25.1mm/225g), 4800mAh 115C (25.1mm/205g), 4100mAh 85C LP (18.5mm/155g), and a 3600mAh 115C LP (18.5mm/154g) battery pack. 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.

Associated Electrics setup mats

Associated Electrics have introduced four new 2019 setup mats that come in four branded styles: Team Associated, Reedy Power, Factory Team, and Element. The mats are roughly 400x500mm in size and provide a protective surface for countertops and RC pit tables alike. Preventing stains from nitro fuel, shock oil, dirt and grime, these mats are a great way to protect the countertops in a shop or at home while creating a factory look. They also work great as RC pit table setup boards, providing a nice flat surface for pre-race checks of ride height and camber and toe. In addition they are lightweight for easy travel to and from the racetrack.
