After months of work by their engineering and racing team, Reedy have announced the release of the Sonic 540.DR competition 1:10 brushless drag racing motor. Externally, the 540.DR looks much like its cousin, the 540-M4. But the heart of the motor is where the major changes can be found. A new stator with an updated profile, thicker laminations, and unique material has been crafted specifically for the requirements of drag racing. Ample torque off the line with heavy pull through the pass improve ET and consistency. A balanced, high-strength 13.5mm rotor suspended between precision ball bearings provides powerful performance pass after pass. To fine-tune for varying track conditions and surfaces, a variety of optional rotors are coming soon.

LRP have introduced the next addition to their Antix by LRP LiPo hard case battery series. Featuring High quality 50C cells in an angular hardcase (139x47x25mm), as 2S and 3S with the most popular connectors, clever features and a great price. A rubber grommet at the cable outlet ideally protects the jointly placed silicone power and balancing cables. This is again slightly offset from the centre so that the cables do not collide with the battery retaining post and can be easily fed out of each battery compartment at an angle of 0° – 90°. The perfect LiPos for hobby and amateur drivers who are mindful of their budget but still want to use powerful LiPo batteries. Also ideal for RTR buyers who want to start directly with LiPo batteries. Available with the currently popular connectors: Tamiya, T-Plug, XT60, XT90 and EC5.
