Corally RDX Phi Diff & Intellect cells

Corally have released a number of new items for both the Corally RDX Phi as well some items for general use. For the RDX Phi there is an all improved differential, designed to ensure long lasting super smooth trouble free diff action. The new diff uses 18 2.5 mm chrome balls which run on large super hard diff washers, and this combination guarantees to handle the higher torque required for today’s brushless racing. Also new is a special brushless motor case that carries up to 4 batteries, 2 small assortment cases, 2 brushless armatures and 3 brushless motors. Finally Corally have released the latest version of the Intellect Sub-C cells, called IB4600SHV, which feature improved voltage, and the latest edition of IB 2/3A single cell, a 1600mAh High Discharge Type called IB1600 that is also available as IB1600 receiver pack.
