Reedy’s new line up of Zappers DR batteries use state-of-the-art LiPo chemistry with advancements in construction that result in improved power output and internal resistance without sacrificing durability. Striving to improve all aspects of battery performance in the increasingly popular and competitive world of RC drag racing, Zappers DR batteries feature a 3.8V/cell nominal voltage, meaning that the battery can be safely charged to 4.35V/cell. It is not a secret that more voltage equals more power, so there is no easier way to increase power and top speed than a higher charge voltage. But even when the typical 8.44V (4.22V/cell) charging limit is enforced, Zappers DR shine thanks to their inherently flat discharge curve, which results in higher voltage when multiple passes are required between charges. Available to suit a variety of chassis configurations and the class requirements of different racing groups, to keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum, hard-case models are equipped with 5mm sockets (male ESC connectors are included), while soft-case models feature 10-gauge wire and XT90 connectors.

After a long break the F1 Supercup returned last weekend at La Valletta, Italy. In the F1-70 class Andrea Mariani pushed Matteo Berlincioni hard for the win, however the latter was able to hold on for the victory with William Carrato taking the final podium spot. The F1-70 class showed some solid numbers in terms of drivers attending as well as laptimes, despite the class being based more on looks than tech. In the F1 Class, there was another close battle between the top 3, with the difference in the best laps down to the hundredths of a second. In the end it was Marco Donadelli with the win in front of Simone Brocca, with Fabrizio Villa 3rd.

R1 Wurks have released Gen2 of their low profile digital drive servo. With an input voltage of 4V to 8.4V it can be used across a multitude of platforms. Featuring a super smooth coreless motor and enhanced servo centring technology, this makes for a high speed and high torque servo (14kg at 6V / 17.5kg at 7.4V). Set inside a lightweight aluminium case with all metal gears, this version comes with a 80mm short wire for tidy installation.
