Power HD GTS-2 Super Low Profile Servo

Power HD is wrapping up 2024 with the announcement of the addition of the GTS-2 to its popular high-voltage brushless GTS series servo range. Over half a year in development, the GTS-2 weighs only 47-grams despite its full metal CNC case and metal gear with Power HD saying it sets a new benchmark for the lightweight servo in the RC industry. The output gear is made of TC4 titanium alloy, which is 4.5 grams lighter than 303 steel gear and increases 50% hardness and toughness. The servo height is 3 mm, shorter than the traditional low profile servo and is offered in two versions. The 6 cm version features reverse wire output – the wires output from the bottom of the case, making the receiver placement space more abundant making it ideals for 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The 18 cm version uses normal wire output which is better suited for 1:10 Electric Buggy, 1:10 Nitro Touring Car and 1:8 GP. Compatible with the high-speed mode of major radios and the i-BUS2 protocol of FlySky Radio, it can remotely setup parameters and sense the temperature data on the FlySky NB4+ Pro Radio. The GTS-2 servo has clear characteristics, more prominent driving feel, and a “combination of stability and sensitivity”

Power HD Balance Weight Crawler Servos

Power HD has released a new Crawler servo series that includes two Balance Weight servos. The cases of WT162 and WT120 are made of pure brass material and can be used directly as balance weight servos. When used in a simulated crawler frame designed with a servo on the beam, the weight on the beam can be heavier and the posture of the whole car can be better. Used in a competition performance crawler frame designed with a servo on the bridge, the weight on the bridge can be higher and the crawling performance can be better. Both WT162 and WT120 use brushless motors and support the Flysky i-BUS2 protocol. The servo status can be directly observed on the Flysky NB4 series radio in real time, and the servo parameters can be programmed on the radio. WT80 and WT85 use aluminium heat sink case, and the servos on various crawler frames have strong torque and speed, and the performance is also excellent. WT series servos are all made of steel gears, IP67 waterproof, durable, and can be used in various environments and perform well in 1:10 and 1:8 simulation crawlers and competition crawlers.
