Vampire Racing Type AB+ V2 update package

Vampire Racing have designed a new V2 update package for the Type AB+ V2 brushless modified motors. All new motors supplied from now will include this update already in the box, and end users who have an ‘old spec’ Type AB+ V2 motor will receive this package totally free of charge. The update package includes a new end bell ring, timing plate, timing pate screws with captive sprung washers and new motor can screws. The timing plate is made of a new tougher material, it features an internal timing pip that will not allow the timing to be altered past its desired and designated settings, it also features beefier cap head screws with sprung washers for a more secure and solid fitting and new screws are also provided for motor can assembly. Customers who wish to upgrade their existing motors are asked to contact their local dealer in order to receive the free update package.

Reedy competition brushless ESC – First look

During last week’s IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championships Team Associated showed us their upcoming Reedy competition brushless speed controller, internally called the black box. Designed for on-road and off-road use the yet nameless speedo is being tested mostly by Team Associated’s own Rick Hohwart and features an integrated on/off switch and an all aluminium case along sturdy direct solder tabs. The controller is designed with both stock and modified racers in mind and its software will have a secret feature called speed sensitive drake brake which they didn’t go into more detail about. The 1S to 2S compatible controller will include a programmer and is set for a release in December or January.

Exclusive – Reedy 5800mAh ‘Square’ pack

Exclusive - Reedy 5800mAh 'Square' pack

During this week’s IFMAR 1/10th Buggy World Championships Reedy gave us an exclusive on their new 5800mAh 65C ‘Square’ LiPo hardcase battery pack. Sporting dimensions like a conventional saddle pack the battery does away with the need to use a jumper wire or the often fiddly charging harnesses associated with handling saddle packs. Instead the pack has the usual 4mm bullet-type connector tubes and a single 2mm balancer port making charging and handling easier. It is designed for vehicles that have the battery sitting as a single block in the chassis like the Centro, the TLR 22 or the Team Durango 4WD buggy. We are told it will be available in 4 weeks.
