Coming from Power HD is the new R6 servo for 1/12th pan cars. The high voltage compatible servo out of Power HD’s new R-series is usable with 4.8V to 8.4V input, it pulls up to 7.5kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.08s and weighs in at only 28.5g. A coreless motor, dual ball bearings and a mixed copper and aluminium geardtrain makes it super tough even when the on-track actions gets severe.
Coming from Schelle are the new 76mm light CVA bones for the Team Associated and universal 3+1 shock pistons for a range of 1/10th off-road vehicles. Starting with the front CVA bones, 2-piece bones utilise a lightweight aluminium pin drive shaft mated to proven MIP steel CVA yokes. The bones can handle the power of both 13.5 and 17.5 motors but are not recommended for modified racing. They save about 3.5g of rotating weight, and fit the B64 and B64D.
