Reedy HV digital aluminium competition servos

Team Associated have introduced two new Reedy competition servos. The RS1806A Hi-Speed (0.06s/18.4kg-cm) and RT2207A Hi-Torque (0.07s/21.2kg-cm) Digital Competition servo were designed with 1/8th buggy and truggy racing in mind as their all-aluminium case reduces operating temperatures while increasing rigidity and strength. Durable precision metal gear drivetrain and advanced microprocessor improve vehicle control and on-track performance while the high-voltage compatibility allows the use of 2S LiPo receiver batteries, resulting in high speeds and maximum torque. The servos are equipped with powerful coreless motors, they are water and dust resistant and come with aluminium mounting hardware and an aluminium clamping servo horn.

Axial Trail Breaker brushed electric motors

Axial have introduced the Trail Breaker brushed electric motors. Although brushless motors are the way to go in competition off-road racing, the often smoother brushed motors are still commonly used in some specialised applications such as rock crawling. Axial’s Trail Breaker rebuildable brushed motors were designed exclusively for RC rock crawlers and high-torque applications. Within the motor sealed precision ball bearings at each end improve efficiency and performance and beyond that are a balanced commutator and hard brushes, designed with long wear characteristics in mind, making it ideal for more run time and less down time. The motor is available in a 35T variant for more wheel speed and a 55T version with increased torque.

Schumacher Mini Pin 1 off-road buggy tyre

The Schumacher Mini Pin has become the market leading tyre for 1/10th buggy carpet racing and it is used as the control tyre for many race series worldwide including the EOS, DHI Cup and Schumacher Indoor Masters.
