Team Associated’s new XP Series high-voltage servos aim to be better suited to the 7.4V LiPo packs used by racers in their cars these days. Most of the current generation of servos are designed only for 6.0V input, and this can cause reliability issues. These new servos feature updated motors and electronic circuitry that are designed to withstand the rigors of high-voltage operation in nitro vehicles. A metal gear version (MG) is perfect for use as the steering servo while the standard version is suitable for controlling the throttle. Even though they are designed to run with 7.4V, they can also be used with standard 6.0V NiMh receiver batteries and are also perfect for use as the steering servo in electric vehicles with the SC10 RTR actually coming equipped with the SHV1504MG.

The 30th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the build up to the LRP Masters, including the development and rapid production of different roll centre options for this very competitive race.
Given the great handling and performance of the T2’009 platform we only needed to concentrate on the tiny details. There are few areas I still see room for improvement, specifically the roll centers, motor position and maybe the drive train ratios which of course are directly related with the racing category and track conditions. We have made a couple of different roll center holders to move the upper links more inside the shock towers with expectation that the car will gain more stability in the high traction conditions.
