Rêve D RS-ST digital servo & USB programmer

Rêve D have introduced their first products in the form of the RS-ST digital high-torque drift car servo and the RS-PGC USB programming dongle. Starting with the RS-ST servo, it features an IRC motor for super high torque values while offering very smooth operation as it is needed for controllable counter steering angles during competitive drift car driving. An aluminium middle case makes for good heat dissipation while offering a low weight. Due to the servo’s high-torque specification it is 2.5mm taller than usual low-profile types.

RC Maker Montecarlo anti-tuck wing mounts

Coming from RC Maker and made for Mon-Tech Racing’s Montecarlo touring car body shell is the anti-tuck wing mounting set. 3-D-printed for a low weight and exceptional durability the mounts prevent body tucks behind the rear wheel arch during racing, as well as inconsistencies on high speed tracks and in windy conditions, causing the bodyshell to vibrate. The new V2 Lite set weighs in at only 5g for the pair, and it only requires one additional M3 screw other than the wing mounting screw to secure the strut behind the wheel arch. Using existing upper wing buttons, owners can screw directly into the strut securing it at the top whilst also securing the body’s wing, making for quick and easy body preparation.
