Reedy 3200mAh 11.1V LiPo pack

For the ultimate in power and top speed, Reedy is excited to announce an all-new 11.1V 20C LiPo battery for enthusiasts that believe you can never have too much power.

This high-power battery pack is designed specifically for use in R/C cars and trucks and a unique hard case design helps protect the battery from damage. Integrated locking nubs simulate sub-C cell profiles to allow the battery to be easily installed in a slotted touring car chassis and by simply flipping the battery over, you have a perfect installation for off-road vehicles. To reduce resistance and increase power, Reedy’s 11.V 20C LiPo battery comes equipped with TRA connector and 12AWG wires.

Losi have announced the July release of this simple and affordable Micro Vehicle electronics upgrade. The 27MHz AM Receiver/ 3 Wire Servo Combo is what you need to complete the conversion to the Losi Xcelorin brushless system, as the conversion to a brushless system requires the use of a standard three wire receiver and servo in order to be compatible with the Xcelorin ESC. The 27MHz AM Receiver is compatible with the stock Micro Vehicle 27mhz AM transmitter, which eliminates the need to purchase a new transmitter.
