Seen for the first time here in the pits at the 3rd round of the Euro Touring Series in Warsaw, Poland, was the all new Gran Turismo 2.0 PRO Blue Edition speed controller from Speed Passion. This is the latest speedo from the World Champion motor company and is their first proper attempt at a high end competition speedo for modified racing and judging by the reaction of team driver Marc Rheinard, who is running the ESC for the first time, it seems to work very well.

Reedy have released all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPo batteries, meaning they are a perfect fit in cars that accept stick packs exclusively such as Tamiya M-chassis vehicles. However, their universal size means that they can fit in any electric vehicle that accepts 7.2V NiMH stick battery packs. An additional design characteristic is the single cell ‘humps’ that key into chassis’ that accept NiMH batteries in a side-by-side configuration. Economically priced, both packs are perfect for spec class competitions due to the fitment in a wide variety of cars. A Tamiya-style connector with 12AWG wire comes standard, but the connector is easily changed to accommodate individual requirements.
