Bittydesign Ahura 1/10 GT 190mm body shell

Bittydesign have released a new product for the 1/10 GT 190mm segment, the all the Ahura body shell. This project was born from the desire to create a body shell outside the box thanks to a futuristic aesthetic, proportions and shapes that make it unique. The body shell is universal and mounts on all 1/10 190mm models, while the wing complies with the measurements as per USGT regulation and can therefore be used at any race. The shapes inspired by a GT3 racing car have been adapted to the proportions and dimensions necessary for use with the 190mm electric models. The design phase took several months to finish every single detail, the attention to detail was obsessive in order to produce a body that could optimise aerodynamics and at the same time remain real in its proportions and aesthetics.

Reedy Zappers DR 6600mAh SQ battery

Reedy’s new drag specific Zappers DR 6600mAh SQ-configuration batteries are now available. The SQ, or ‘square’ configuration was the brainchild of the Reedy engineering team as a superior alternative to saddle packs. While the design ran out of favour in the 1:10 off-road racing world, it shines in the drag racing world thanks to its low centre of gravity and wide footprint, which provide excellent stability without sacrificing performance. Zappers DR batteries use state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with advancements in construction that result in improved power output and internal resistance without sacrificing durability. The pack features a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. It is not a secret that more voltage equals more power, so there is no easier way to increase power and top speed than a higher charge voltage. But even when the typical 8.44V (4.22V/cell) charging limit is enforced, Zappers DR shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage when multiple passes are required between charges.
