TSP-Racing introduce two new high-power servos

Coming from TSP-Racing are two new high-power servos offering 45kg-cm and 55kg-cm of torque. The T81 BHMW offers up to 45kg-cm of torque and it is IP67 standard waterproof, making it ideal for demanding 1/8th scale on-road and off-road racing alike while the stronger T86 BHM features splash water resistance. Both are housed in sturdy all-aluminium cases with machined heatsink design middle sections and white laser-engraved logos. Both servos are fully programmable using TSP-Racing’s USB PC dongle that allows to adjust parameters such as servo reverse, Sanwa SSR compatibility and overload protection. The needed software is available for free. All-black receiver wires round out the packages.

KO Propo EX-2 ST2 radio system

KO Propo have introduced their new EX-2 ST2 club-level radio system. The transmitter utilises the Extension Unit 2 steering wheel as well as upgraded angle sensors for the steering wheel and throttle lever that not only are about 100-times as durable as the standard potentiometers, they also offer a more linear output for greatly improved steering, throttle and brake feeling in both electric and nitro classes. The steering unit also offers dual ball bearings for the steering wheel shaft which optimises feeling and durability while a soft steering wheel return spring ensures a linear steering wheel feeling from the neutral point all the way up to the maximum operation angle. The ST2 transmitter is rounded out by the new V2.12 firmware as it is used with the high-end EX-RR transmitter. The radio system includes the compact size KR-241FH 4-channel receiver and it will hit stores at the end of August.

ARC R12 SRS Super Response Servo

ARC have announced the release of their new SRS Super Response Servo specially designed for the use with the ARC R12 touring car. Developed and produced in collaboration with Savöx, the steering servo supports the Super High Response protocol that is available from high-end transmitters and it provides quicker response and a wider working angle on the R12 chassis. The ARC SRS utilises a short 5cm all-black servo lead for neat and clean wiring and the unique all-aluminium case incorporates a servo mount that allows racers to do away with the standard servo mount, ensuring a super low-profile design and a lower overall centre of gravity, all while allowing to scrub 9g of weight and the attachment of the servo 8mm closer to the centreline of the chassis. As for the specifications, the brushless motor servo pulls up to 9kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.07 seconds.

Power HD D12 low-profile servo

Coming from Power HD is their new D12 low-profile reverse receiver wire high-performance servo. Utilising a CNC-machined all-aluminium case with a heatsink design middle section, the servo also sports a reverse receiver wire layout, meaning the wire leaves the case on the opposite side of the output gear and thus on the inside of the chassis when run in electric on-road cars. The result is a much cleaner layout while greatly reducing the chance of damaging the wire during a crash. The high-voltage compatible servo is capable of speeds of down to 0.059 seconds and a torque of up to 12.5kg-cm.
