Reedy RC4020A HV Digital Competition crawler servo

Reedy’s new RC4020A HV Digital Competition crawler servo has been trail-tested and engineered for use in competition-level trail trucks, crawlers, and monster trucks. A powerful motor creates incredible torque without sacrificing speed, while an advanced microprocessor provides precision steering control. An all-metal gear set is designed for strength and durability while a CNC-machined full-aluminium case reduces operating temperatures for fade-free operation. Because the RC4020A features HV 8.4V compatibility, external BEC units can be utilised to create an incredible 50 kg-cm (695 in-oz) of torque.

JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition

JConcepts is pleased to announce a new partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a new decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package. With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer.

Avid Truss 1/8th scale buggy wheel

Avid have released a black version of their Truss 1/8th scale buggy wheel, previously only available in white and yellow. The wheel name is derived from the internal ribbing that uses the strength of triangles instead of having straight ribs. The focus of the Truss starts at the centre of the wheel so the tighter triangles help keep the torque strength right where you want it when applying all your throttle, at the nut. Outer channels remove a little rotating mass at the furthest point but more importantly they help the foam from shifting side to side. The benefit on track is that the car has more stability, especially when you are off power trying to swerve left and right to avoid a wreck or through a set of switchbacks after a high speed section.

Schumacher Mezzo 1/10th offroad tires

Schumacher are pleased to introduce the latest in a long line of successful 1/10th offroad tires, the Mezzo. Featuring a completely new carcass design, where development has focused on the thickness of the profile to support the pin and improve its life. The Mezzo has a varied pin type across the tire, enabling it to be more suitable to a wider variety of track conditions, including long and short pile astro. The pin type gives improved side traction whilst maintaining forward traction. It also lasts longer and has better bump handling, due to its taller sidewall profile. The front 4wd tire is aimed at longer pile astro and lower gip and pins can be cut to reduce traction if required. For 2wd they are still recommending the U6770 Low Profile Cut Stagger combined with Mezzo rear, for a longer life tire set up. Ultimately the popular Dart tire could be faster over a single run in some conditions, but life is much extended with the Mezzo. It’s a great all-rounder. Ultimately the Mezzo is aimed at Astro, Yellow compound for dry high performance, Silver for wet and Blue for longer life.
