Reedy RC2312 HV digital competition crawler servo

Team Associated have introduced the Reedy RC2312 HV digital crawler servo. Trail-tested and engineered for use in competition-level trail trucks and crawlers, the 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 an integrated aluminium mid-case reduces operating temperatures for fade-free operation. The soft-centring function centres the servo slowly on power-up for scale appearance and steering system damage prevention. High voltage compatibility allows users to take advantage of external BEC units.

Team Zombie Hollow Evolution motor cooling system

Team Zombie have introduced their new Hollow Evolution motor cooling system. The 40mm motor cooling fan features a dedicated duct-type housing that is part of the whole fan assembly, rather than just a computer-type can sitting in an additional case. The result are 12g of static pressure and thus exceptional cooling performance thanks to the optimised airflow design. The 6V to 8.7V compatible and dual ball-raced fan uses an injector-moulded case, it weighs in at 18.5g and complies with the latest Australian RCRA rules.

T-Works roll out first MP10 option parts

T-Works have released first option parts for Kyosho’s all-new MP10 1/8th off-road buggy. The range includes a 26-piece hard-coated aluminium pivot ball set, a titanium turnbuckle set as well as two screw kits, a 149-piece titanium UFO head set as well as a 160-piece gold-plated steel screw set. The pivot ball will greatly reduce the overall weight and unsprung mass of the suspension while the titanium items will scrub weight and add corrosion resistance. The gold-plated screw set will do nothing in terms of weight but add a lot of visual impact. Last but not least is a 10-piece set of stainless steel 0.1mm and 0.5mm thin 4.5x10mm shims that can be used to reduce axial play in various places.

R1 Digital-3 brushless speed controller

New from R1 Wurks comes the LCG Digital-3 2S/1S wireless programmable brushless speed controller. Developed using the most advanced microchip processor and a robust proprietary software, the speedo delivers some of the most technologically advanced features to date. Development of the LCG controller was focused on ultra smooth power delivery needed for modified racing as well as supreme power efficiency for stock motors. The unit features an A.C.L.C. Advanced Component Level Cooling system. This design allows individual encapsulated low resistance Mosfets – inner and outer components – to transfer heat directly to the upper heatsink. The system also comes equipped with an all new zero timing blinky mode for spec racing, using an advanced commutation algorithm called Cool Power to keep the motor cool and deliver powerful, yet ultra-smooth acceleration. The LCG Digital-3 boasts a redesigned case minimising overall weight and lowering the centre of gravity. R1 Wurks have minimised the weight from the upper case while improving heat dissipation, achieved by improving air velocity exits from all sides of the ESC case. All adjustable settings are easily programmed using the R1 Wireless Adapter coupled with an iOS or Android app designed with an intuitive, easy to use interface. The new R1 Digital-3 app also features a super-fast live telemetry and a built in datalogger for after race analysis. Built in Amp draw meter for setting motor timing or for after race analysis. Using the new over the air updates feature, firmware updates are now easily downloaded through our iOS or Android apps.

JConcepts ET410 Finnisher truck body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno ET410 1/10th scale 4WD truck is a dedicated Finnisher body shell. One of the latest classes to hit the scene is the 1/10th truggy class and Tekno has been leading edge in this department with the release of the ET410. JC’s Finnisher body incorporates pre-dimpled locations for the ET410 and it features a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance to highlight a performance oriented core. A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique shock geometry and the body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Chin spoiler, headlight and grille protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. The Finnisher has a built-in air escape passage on the roof which allows the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body is produced with name plates which provide additional high-speed stability and improved positioning of the rear bed rails to strengthen the assembly. Overall handling has been improved by balancing the bias between the cab location and rear wing placement. Each body comes with window masks, decal sheet, and rear S-Type wing.
