After a three-year absence, the Reedy name is making a return to the competition 1:10 electric motor scene. Reedy’s Sonic line of brushed motors were a favorite of racers worldwide and powered numerous National and World Champions in the late ’80s and early ’90s. It is only fitting that the famous Sonic name be revived for the first complete line of competition brushless motors from the world-renowned Reedy brand. Designed strictly for competition and already proven at the highest level, the Reedy Sonic brushless motors feature a lightweight case design with extra-large, strategically placed vent holes to reduce operating temperatures. Lower temperatures result in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. A precision balanced high-strength sintered rotor is supported by dual ball bearings for maximum RPM and reliability. Adjustable timing and a variety of optional rotors allows for fine tuning for particular applications and tracks. Several models for both stock and modified racing are available and all meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.

Team Durango have released several new option parts for their DNX408 nitro off-road buggy. First up is a carbon fibre radio tray. Woven from high-quality carbon fibre, this hop-up part is 43% lighter than the standard kit item. It is also a lot stiffer, offering you the most precise servo operation. It allows less heat flow-through from the chassis allowing greater heat dissipation through the bottom of the chassis plate. Next up we have an aluminium throttle arm to replace the stock plastic item. This high-strength aluminium throttle arm allows you to run a strong carb-return spring on your engine. Weighing in at only 4.3 grams, it also gives you ultra-precise throttle operation. Finally, for a bit of rear wing bling, there is these gold-anodised aluminium wing buttons. Anodised in Team Durango gold, they are high strength and weigh just 1.0 gram each.
