Futaba has just released a whole ton of good new servos. Too many to list all the details here, but I will post the full press release in the NEW Product Forum. The one pictured to the left is the BLS452 Brushless High-Torque Car Servo. It has dual bearings, metal gears, and is ready to be put in just about anything electric or nitro you own. They also have some super light new micro servos, as well as brushless Heli servos that are 30% faster then standard digital servos! Speed = Good. Check out the Futaba or NEW Product Forum for more details.
First off, Futaba brings this 2.4GHz Module/Receiver set. The receiver is small enough to fit into park flyers, but still powerfull enough to control the big stuff! Then they show off their new BLS352 High Torque Digital Brushless Servo! I can’t even imagine how fast that thing must be! It’s strong enough for steering on 1/8th scale rc truggies all the way down to touring cars and boats! It has dual bearings, metal gears, and a all metal center case! This might be the summer I make the change over! All the details in the NEW Product Forum.
While still playing catch up after our big computer meltdown, I’m finding news we missed posting in backup emails. I posted a few new press releases in the NEW Product Forum. One of them being for the Futaba 4PK 4-Channel 2.4ghz computer system. We talked a little about it back during our coverage during iHobby, and it looks like it should be shipping soon. Start saving your $$ because this is probably going to be THE radio to have this summer!
Some items that will be on your shopping list if you are a racer or a basher are the new O’Donnell Speed Wash Cleaner and the O’Lube Krytech Dry Lubricant. Check out the press release in the NEW Product Forum. I always have stuff that needs a cleaning, and the O’Lube sounds like a pretty cool product. It dries to a hard waxy finish to seal out water while not attracting dust, yet reduces friction.
If you are a Futaba 3PK fan, you are going to want to hear this! You now have the option to pick up the 2.4GHz FASST Tx Model with the 2.4GHz FASST R603FS Receiver. If you get them as a combo you will save yourself about $30. Not a bad deal. This will get you the cool Continuous Channel Shifting technology and Pre-Vision scanning along with dual antenna diversity! The only way you are going to loose that signal is if your locked in a safe!
