Servo manufacturer Power HD is now offering a new Servo Set intended for RC Drift use. The TDS-2 is a new specific 1:10 drift servo with enhanced anti-shake function and greater torque and profile. It is also designed to be used with the new Gyro G2. A key feature of the Gyro G2, which has a smaller profile that the Gyro G1, is that you can adjust your car angle without changing gyro gain via CH4 on receiver. Damping and User priority can also be adjusted on the gyro itself too, allowing you to adjust to your liking. Like the TDS-2 servo, the G2 is available in Black, Red and Purple colour options.

Reedy Sonic 900/900XL 1:8 Competition Motors

Reedy has released an all-new range of Sonic 900 and 900XL Competition motors for 1:8 eBuggy and eTruggy. Several months of development by engineering staff and factory team drivers has resulted in motors that deliver performance that far exceeds what is required at the highest level of competition. The Sonic 900, available in both 1900kV and 2100kV versions, is intended for use in 1:8 eBuggy classes. Each version comes with a unique rotor which is interchangeable between both and sold separately to fine tune power output and delivery for specific track conditions and driver preference. The Sonic 900XL features a longer, higher torque stator for heavier 1:8 eTruggy use. However, the 900 and 900XL are interchangeable between chassis types to create a wide range of performance options suitable for a wide variety of track conditions. The motors feature a precision CNC-machined case with adjustable timing while an integrated heat sink lowers operating temperatures, which results in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. Sensored operation results in a smooth and controllable power band while a powerful 4-pole rotor is supported by precision ball bearings for reliability.

JConcepts XB4 ’24 S2 Body

JConcepts has released its S2 body for the popular Xray XB4 ’24 1:10 4WD Buggy. Dubbed the S2, the new shell rocks some familiar features but rolled together with a low-profile stance. With an IFMAR Championship credibility backing this design, the S2 is a performer straight out of the package and includes the carpet | turf | dirt rear wing to help deliver results on any racing circuit. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish.
