Reedy’s all-new HV Digital aluminium brushless servos are race proven and feature numerous enhancements over their predecessors. These include precision metal gears for added strength and smooth operation, a powerful brushless motor for lightning-quick speeds and maximum torque and an advanced microprocessor that improves vehicle control. Its state-of-the-art CNC-machined aluminium case increases rigidity while lowering operating temperatures for fade-free operation. Available in 3 different versions, the RT3507A and RS3005A are externally identical but the former is a high torque servo, while the latter is a high speed version. There is also the RT1705A which is a low profile high speed servo.

Fenix Racing introduce a number of new parts for their Mistral 2.0 formula car. First up are the LMP side wings that, when used with parts from the G56, accommodate the use of different links to tune the handling of the car. Additionally there are several new body post locations to fit LMP, Group C or GT3 style bodies and also allow for the use of longer side dampers or side shocks. There are also new formula side wings that provide the option to use different links to setup the car. Next up is a longer carbo Ackermann plate for additional steering settings and finally there is also a new front end brace for the Mistral 2.0. The brace helps improve the front end rigidity for better and sharper steering. Fenix also have two new turnbuckle wrenches in 3mm and 4mm versions, which are pretty cool with their carbon fibre and blue anodised aluminium handles.

Xpress XQ10 adjustable Ackermann steering plate

Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:25 AM PST

From Xpress for their XQ10, this new adjustable Ackermann steering plate allows the user to adjust the distance between the two ballends on the steering bridge through the use of inserts. What this achieves is different Ackermann settings and adjusts how much steering angle difference you can achieve between the outside and inside tires when you turn. By using a larger distance (bigger number) the outside wheel will turn more and create a more aggressive feeling. The 8.0mm insert will make the wheels turn at a more equal angle and will result in a more stable driving car. The other inserts included are 8.5 and 9.0.

Smokem Racing ARC R12 RS chassis plate

Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:07 AM PST

Smokem Racing’s new RS chassis plate for the ARC R12 offers reduced scrub compared to the factory chassis. By removing the short arm suspension mounts, the RS design eliminates excess material from the profile that’s no longer required. The new RS chassis also moves the holes for the rear suspension blocks forward by 1mm which allows racers who use ARC’s R12 ATS system with parallel hinge pins to maintain the same wheelbase by using no shims in front of the suspension arms, something that cannot be achieved with the factory chassis without modifying the suspension arms. Meanwhile racers who run the fixed rear toe suspension can maintain their stock wheelbase by using 2mm of shims in front of the suspension arms instead of 1mm. The chassis is made from high quality 2.25mm thick carbon fibre.

Posted: 12 Nov 2020 12:24 PM PST

Completely designed from the ground up, the Losi LMT 4wd Solid Axle Monster Truck is the first of its kind on the market combining all-out performance with incredible scale detail. Starting with the chassis, a twin vertical plate is designed to provide all of the performance adjustments needed to tune the truck for any situation.

New multi-piece axle housings surround the 1/8th scale drivetrain.

The Spektrum Firma Smart 130 Amp ESC and 3150kv 4-pole Brushless motor allow you to unlock blazing speeds. Drivers stay in control with a DX3 transmitter and a Spektrum SR315 DSMR 3-Channel Sport Receiver. A composite flip top cage adds scale realism and protection, as well as functionality so you can easily access your battery and electronics. Of course, the scale detail doesn’t stop there with headers, drivers and LED lights and Losi have teamed up with Monster Jam for your choice of a Grave Digger or Son-Uva Digger body.
