Power HD M8 & M8 Pro 1/12th pan car servo

Power HD have introduced their new 1/12th Pancar specific M8 and M8 Pro professional edition servos. Prior to release, many international drivers havd already used the servo in the 2022 EFRA European Championships 1/12 including Power HD team driver Michal Orlowski who took double TQ and win at the event. Both versions are the same apart from the mounting option. The direct mount design of the M8 Pro helps to lower the chassis’s centre of gravity, offering stronger precision and locking force resulting in smooth cornering. The servo weighs only 28.6g, even with the full aluminium casing. Coming with 25T stainless steel + 7075 aluminium gear set and the latest PCBA, the servos support various ultra-high-speed modes like SSR, SUR, SXR, SR and SFR. Both servos can work with Power HD programming box, to adjust the servos parameters.

JConcepts Power Master crawler body

JConcepts introduces a new body to the crawling and scaling enthusiast who appreciates a hard-nose and retro vibe. The Power Master follows along the success of popular shells like the Creep and CreepER styles by the team from Groveland, Florida. The concentration of the platform is for versatility and offering clearance for an abundance of rigs who are in kit form or highly modified for the trails and technical courses. The start of the design begins at the grille, a short overhang provides a lot of options in terms of aftermarket bumper options. The V-shaped front-end allows for more tire clearance with minimum overhang for less snags and space for truck geometry and grippy tires. The cab has a real retro vibe, the round shape, front to back and side to side, pay dividends in sketchy terrain or when the truck turns over. The window style has split dividers capturing trucks from yesteryear when venting and structural construction depended on it.
