Airtronics strengthened SRG servos & new receivers

Airtronics have introduced the new Strength versions of three popular SRG line servos as well as two new receivers. Starting with the servos, the SRG-LS Ver.2, SRG-BX and SRG-BS are now available in the Strength version with an all-metal gear train. The servos sport the same specifications as the previous versions but the new gears make them more durable in demanding applications. As for the receivers, the RX-471 Dual ID FHSS-4 is able to store two unique bind codes, allowing to bind up to two compatible transmitters to the receiver at the same time. This feature is ideal for endurance racing or for vehicle testing, by allowing two different drivers with their own transmitters to control the model at any one time. Also new is the RX-380 3-channel FHSS-3 receiver. The high-voltage compatible, BEC-less receiver is usable with 4.8V to 7.4V input, it measures 37.5×24.7×14.1mm and weighs in at 8g.

JConcepts S2 bodyshell for TLR 22 3.0

Making its debut at the recent IFMAR Worlds in Japan, JConcepts have introduced a TLR 22 3.0 version of their new S2 bodyshell. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with and tight fit and finish. Cut-lines are included on each side of the body to accommodate 3 or 4 gear transmission layouts giving all out versatility. Available in standard and lightweight versions.
