Reedy Flash Modified motors

Reedy have announced that the powerful Flash modified motor has been re-invented with updated materials and new winds suitable for today’s hottest R/C vehicles. Drifting and rock crawling require the right power band for precise drivability – and Reedy delivers! A new 19T motor is perfect for hardcore drifters while a 55T rock crawling motor guides you to the top of the course with precision control. The original range of winds suitable for 1/10 buggies, trucks, and touring cars are still available. Because these economically priced machine-wound motors are based on high quality championship winning components, they are the perfect alternative to higher priced hand wound and brushless modified motors. The components and construction of the Flash make it perfect for competition or as a powerful update for your RTR.

Reedy VMX Concept R-46 IB4600

Reedy have introduced the new IB4600, treated and matched using the Reedy VMX Concept, which produces a racing pack capable of powering winners at all levels of competition. Even more impressive is the increased durability and reliability incorporated into this high output package. The VMX process begins by applying an intense energy pulse to new IB4600 NiMH cells using high-tech equipment designed in house by our engineering staff. The end results of this exclusive process are reduced internal resistance, increased voltage output and more power. These enhanced cells are cycled, then power-matched using a 35-amp discharge. This process eliminates weak cells and those that do not fall within the exclusive percentage that are good enough to be hand selected as Reedy VMX R-46 grade.
