Hudy aluminium throttle servo horns

Hudy have introduced these CNC-machined aluminium throttle servo horns. Aluminium servo horn offers maximum throttle control by eliminating the flex often associated with composite servo horns. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability. Drilled and tapped for 3mm-linkage hardware. The horn has two holes for linkage mounting on both sides, allowing you to quickly and easily change the linkage angle. Available in 23T (KO, JR, Sanwa, Airtronic), 24T (Hitec) and 25T (Futaba).

Futaba S9342HV & S9353HV servos

Futaba Japan released first information on special 1/8 scale GP servos. The standard size items are designed for the use with unregulated 6.6V LiFe or 7.4V LiPo receiver battery packs when combined with a high voltage capable receiver. The S9352HV (0.06s/22.0kg-cm) and S9353HV (0.06s/22.0kg-cm) sport dimensions of 40.5×21.0×37.4mm and weight 72g or 77g respectively. Both servos feature titanium gears and, from what we understand, the S9353HV also a full-aluminium casing.

Hitec coreless mini servos & X1 AC Plus charger

Hitec introduce new coreless mini servos and the X1 AC Plus charger. The HS-7235MH (0.08s/4.4kg-cm) and HS-7245MH (0.11s/6.4kg-cm) are 7.4V high voltage servos with an optimised coreless motor to cope with the higher voltage input. Also good to use with lower 6.0V voltage input both servos also feature heavy-duty metal gears and dual ball bearings. The strong yet speedy servos are ideal for both 1/12th scale on-road racers and 1/18th scale rock crawlers. The X1 AC Plus battery charger is a multi-chemistry 50W charger and offers charging rates from 0.1 up to 6.0A using 100V to 240V AC power sources. Designed to charge 1 to 15 NiXX, 1 to 6 LiXX and 2V to 20V Pb batteries the charger features a two line back-lit LC display and four button menu operation.

KO Propo Frequency Hopping-Spread Spectrum

With the knowledge gained from their DS-SS (Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum), KO Propo have introduced their new FH-SS (Frequency Hopping-Spread Spectrum). This new spectrum allows for a stronger performance against interference and creates a better response time. Each module will have a different hopping pattern which avoids interference and allow you to operate the system alongside 50 other units. The operating distance has also been improved to 160m, which is twice the previous distance and finally the binding time has been reduced to 0.01 seconds or less, simply turn it on and drive. KO have released a pair of new FH-SS transmitter modules and new KR411FH receivers for the EX-10 Eurus, the RF904FH module, and the EX-1 UR / Mars Series & Esprit 3, the RF903FH module.

Sanwa HR-141 digital 1/12 servo

Sanwa has introduced the follow up to the popular 1/12 Sanwa HR-141 servo, with the release of the SRG-HR. Due to its extremely small dimensions and its low weight of only 22g, the new digital servo fits in almost every 1/12 model. It is also ideally suited for the more and more popular HPI and Tamiya Formula 1 cars. Quick and ultra precise, the Sanwa SRG-HR can be operated with 6.0V and also with 7.4V (nominal voltage) and there’s no need for a voltage transformer for LiPo receiver batteries anymore. The receiver forwards the full 7.4V to the servos, making it especially strong and super fast.
