Both build on a hard anodised 7075 aluminium chassis for strength and they utilise sturdy drivetrain components including front and rear CV-design driveshafts, steel gears, and the GP car also uses Ferodo-clad brake pads in order to provide fading-free stopping performance. The suspension areas of both the nitro and electric-powered buggy are made up using long travel suspension components with the A-arms being reinforced by detachable carbon fibre plates, the shock absorbers are of a 17mm diameter big bore design for exceptional damping and the front and rear shock towers are made up of 4mm/3mm machined aluminium.

Reedy Sonic S-Plus 25.5 motor

Reedy’s Sonic S-Plus motor is now available in a version that meets ROAR’s unique guidelines for 25.5 turn motors typically used in Formula and VTA racing classes. Maximum power output is achieved thanks to near-minimum resistance measurements and a high-strength balanced rotor. In addition to increased power output, reduced weight improves handling and chassis-turning flexibility. Additionally, the motor’s length has been shortened by more than 2mm, which aids left/right balance and moves mass towards the centre of the chassis. Finally, precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability.
