Team Magic B8 Buggy testing video

We were informed last weekend about this video of the all new Team Magic B8 buggy, which was seen testing at a track in Spain, but when we linked to it the video had disappeared. Well as you can see its now back and shows the Taiwanese company’s latest buggy project being put through its paces. According to Team Magic the B8 is a completely new concept and is not a replacement for the M8, which will continue to be produced. Expect the buggy to be released around early September.

Reedy LiPo for TX, RX & Starters

A broad selection of Reedy LiPo batteries is now available to power servos and receivers, transmitters, and starter boxes. Worrying about battery life in long main events or consecutive bump-ups is a thing of the past. And turning over a hard-to-start nitro engine becomes much easier with a high-torque starter-box battery. To operate receivers and servos with 7.4 LiPo batteries, install the optional heavy-duty 5V regulator. It easily fits with the battery in the radio box, and prevents damage to gear that should not be exposed to more than 5 volts. A new 1800mAh 7.4V battery specifically for Micro cars replaces 7.2V NiMH stick packs. Rated at 20C, it is capable of powering the very hottest 1:18 scale motors to incredible speeds.
