Reedy 2400mAh & 3400mAh get TCS approval

Reedy’s all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPos, which were announced back in February, have been declared legal for use in Tamiya TCS Series competition. The rounded stick pack profile means 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 comes standard, but the connector is easily changed to accommodate individual requirements.

RC Modifications Carbon/alu MBX-6 towers

Danish company RC Modifications had the idea to make a shock tower using the combination of two different materials, carbon fibre and 7075 aluminium. The idea is to avoid breakages that can happen with carbon shock towers yet retain the lightweight. They succeeded and have created this half carbon half alu shock towers for the front and rear of the Mugen MBX-6. The front tower only weighs 21grams, only 4 grams heavier than the full carbon tower, while the rear tower weighs in at 27grams. Currently only in the protoype phase, expect a release in the near future.
