Tourex Power Switch & alloy servo bushings

German Tourex distributor RMV Deutschland introduce an electronic on/off switch called Power Switch and also aluminium servo bushings. Starting with the switch, the MCU controlled offering does away with the problems associated with conventional mechanical switches as it is housed in an enclosed case and therefore offers very good dust protection. The switch is best used in nitro vehicles and offers a NiMH and LiPo mode with the latter including a low-voltage protection. Upon arming a multi-colour LED also indicates the capacity left in the receiver battery. The switch comes pre-wired with JR-compatible connectors and two kinds of bottom covers. Also new are special aluminium bushings to replace the rubber servo grommets on steering and throttle servos. The machined parts sport a diameter of 3.7mm and an upper countersunk washer part while being gun metal anodised. The bushings come as 8-piece set and make for a rock-solid servo installation.
