Reedy’s new Zappers SG5 HV-LiPo batteries feature leading edge LiPo chemistry with advancements in cell manufacturing and battery construction that result in improvements in capacity, power output, internal resistance, and durability. Zappers SG5 HV-LiPo batteries feature a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, which means that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. It is not a secret that more voltage equals more power, so there is no easier way to increase power and top speed than a higher charge voltage. Even when the typical 8.40-8.44V (4.2-4.22V/cell) charging limit is enforced, Zappers SG5 batteries shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage deeper into the race. Available in twelve configurations for a variety of on-road and off-road applications. A high quality, durable hard case helps prevent damage, while embedded socket connectors keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum. Male ESC connectors are included.

Fresh out of the development lab at JConcepts, the ReHab tires are the latest tire for 1/10th buggy racing. Based on its larger cousin, the Detox, the ReHab tire brings all the details of a successful tire into a smaller tread package for smoother track conditions, consistent racing and high-end performance for dirt off-road and oval racing. The design revolves around the centre structure which has medium sized, dense lugs arranged in a horizontal configuration. The lugs have strategically placed cuts and grooves to allow flex in dusty conditions to perform even if the track is deteriorating. The outer portion of the tread fits together like building blocks, with shapes placed together that nest well but also work together to flex laterally to provide steadfast side-bite. The tread tapers off cleanly to the outer sidewall giving a smooth transition during hard cornering. JConcepts tires include the latest insert for a variety of conditions on the circuit including dirt oval racing and are available for the 2.2″ rear as well as 2.2″ and 4wd front and in blue, green and aqua A2 compounds.

This is the fully CNC machined ‘Compression Testing Tool’ from the Merlin McFly factory. Made from high quality Swiss 7075 alloy, the whole assembly is easily screwed into the glow plug hole of any glow engine with a turbo plug. Once you switch in on and turn the engine to the top dead centre you can read the compression of the engine on the digital readout and compare it with your other engines or those of your friends.

The mid-motor, 4-gear transmission in the all-new Team Associated DR10M drag race car offers the advantage of using motor torque rotation to apply downward force to the rear tires. These forces generate additional rear end squat for that off-the-line acceleration which offers more tire-to-surface area contact, giving the DR10M additional rear traction. The mid-motor set up shifts the weight distribution forward, reducing front-end lift. Additionally, the motor and tires share the same rotational direction, which produces quicker forward momentum to help you get a faster time across that finish line. Based on the successful DR10 drag race platform, the DR10M Team kit features a rear anti-roll bar, 28 precision ball bearings, fully adjustable suspension, vertical ball ends for roll centre adjustments, 2.6:1 ratio gearbox with heavy-duty sealed gear differential and externally adjustable V2 slipper clutch. The new Octalock spur gear and 11mm Octalock pads provide maximum consistency and higher torque capacity.

RC Maker have released their brand new carbon body height adjuster set for touring cars. Featuring a simple and effective design, these super lightweight adjusters make it easier than ever to find tune the height of the bodyshell, without having to remove any pins, clips or o-rings. The adjusters feature 3 different height settings at 0.75mm increments (2.25mm of movement). They slide over the body post and locate on a 2mm pin and the assembly is then held in place by an o-ring which is slightly recessed into the top of the adjuster. To adjust the height, simply slide the adjuster and o-ring up, rotate it to a different slot and seat it back down. The adjuster can also be used on horizontal rear posts, and with their HRP System. This provides the body the perfect stopper to prevent excessive movement in the rear or damage when hit from behind.
