Reedy WolfPack LiPo batteries

Reedy’s new WolfPack LiPo batteries meet the performance demands of both the casual enthusiast and the club racer. Generous discharge capabilities increase overall power and top speed while high capacities extend run times far beyond what is capable with NiMH batteries or lower-quality LiPo batteries. Each battery features Reedy’s molded hard case for maximum crash protection in sizes that fit the most popular car configurations. High quality cell manufacturing and construction techniques result in reliable operation and maximum cycle-life. Unlike some brands that utilize power-robbing ‘universal’ plugs, these batteries come equipped with beefy silicone wires and a low-resistance Deans Ultra Plug connector. An integrated balancing harness with a JST-XH connector is included.

Xray Column – RX8 What? How? When? Part 1

The 49th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, in preparation for the release of their upcoming Rx8 1/8th scale on road chassis, Juraj talks about how due to communism in his home country he was forced to develop and hand make his own 1/8th chassis’ and other equipment and how this all gave rise to the Hudy company and in turn Xray.

In 1984 I redesigned the complete car and I was one of the very first in the world to make a real and complete 4WD drivetrain with fully independent front & rear suspension. I was motivated from full-size rally cars that had 4WD drivetrain systems, and I gave myself a new challenge to incorporate this system into my cars. Of course I did not have access to specialized belts and as such my 4WD system was based on central drive shafts.
