Power HD Drift Servo Set

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.

Xray X4F 2.0mm Graphite Upper Deck

Xray has released this one-piece carbon Multi-Flex top deck for its X4F 1:10 FWD Touring Car platform.  It features a narrow shape for easier installation, improved handling characteristics and features 8 different flex options.  The one-piece top deck offers increased flex, which makes the car softer which is suggested especially for low traction conditions where it removes a bit of initial steering but generates more mechanical traction.  The top deck can be modified by making additional cuts, to provide more additional flex set-up options.  Produced from high grade USA made carbon fibre, the machined ultra-precise top deck screws ensure the top deck is mounted completely tweak-free to improve flex characteristics.  The shape of the top deck is specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.
