Need a little more power on your nitro? The new Reedy 2035 and 2039 mufflers should be able to help. They have a hard anodized finish, and are compatible with .21 and .28 competition engines.

Normally I would send you to the ReedyPower.com page for more information, but apparently they don’t own it anymore, LOL. Maybe forgot to pay the bill. Oops!

If you are looking for some extra power, Reedy has just announced their 5S 18.5v and 6S 22.2V Competition LiPo Batteries. They are 40C packs sized for 1:8 scale vehicles like their RC8e, SC8e and RC8Te. They come just like you see in the picture, no connector with 10-gauge wire leads. Cost will be around $360.

Check out ReedyPower.com for more information.

It looks like Reedy is jumping into the LiFe battery market with their new Reedy 4000 mAh 30C 6.6V Competition LiFe Battery.

They are marketing it towards the 5-cell NiMH guys and Spec Class club racers. The LiFe packs (lithium iron phosphate as cathode) batteries allow you you to run them down, and seem to be a little safer and easier to use then LiPO. You will need a LiFe compatible charger for these.

Check out ReedyPower.com for more information.

Some info on the new Reedy 447-S AC/DC 4-7 Cell Peak Prediction Charger.
The new charger is simple, easy to use, and offers the ability to charge most of the popular NiMH and NiCd battery configurations out there. It has new stat-of-the-art- peak prediction circuitry to protect batteries from damage due to overcharging.

If you are looking for a charger, and don’t want to make the jump into the LiPO world yet, this might be the charger you are looking for.

Looks like Team Associated and Reedy are throwing some new big power LiPO’s into the ring! They have just announced the new Reedy LiPo 3100 6S 22.2v and 3800mAh 5S 18.5v packs! The press release says they will fit the RC8e Electric Buggy, RC8Te Electric Truggy and SC8e! Wow. That’s some power for those vehicles! Both packs are rated at 40C. Shesh!

Looks like Reedy is getting off to a good jump on the soon to be 1/16th scale Traxxas Mini E-Revo VXL and Mini Slash VXL by supplying 1600mAh battery packs with the Traxxas connector on them, all ready to go. Keep an eye out for them soon at your local shops.

I wasn’t going to post this story at first because everyone seems to be selling some brand of LiPo Charging Sack, but then I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take the time for a reminder. So Reedy has a new LiPo Charging sack. Their new Charging Sack reduces the risk of damage in the case of a LiPo battery fire during the charging process and is constructed using heat and fire-resistant material.

I just picked up a sack myself, and after seeing some serious fire pictures posted recently at my local track, I think a reminder to let people know to take the step and make their charging a little safer as well, especially at home!

In the market for a new LiPO? Reedy has a few new ones coming! All new 2400 and 3400 “Stick Pack” LiPo’s with a universal size that will fit in any electric vehicle that accepts 7.2V NiMH. They even incorporated single cell “humps” molded into the pack for those that require NiMH in a side-by-side configuration.

Attached to the 12AWG wire is a Tamiya-style connector that is easily changed to flexibility.

Reedy has changed their decals and banners. If you’re like me and love to show off your brand pride jump on over to their site and grab some of these hot decals. Packaged in a set of two (black and white) these decals will stick to whatever you can find (wife’s car, bosses coffee cup, etc) and with a clear overlay they are fuel safe. Cut to a perfect 4″ x 6″ size they will fit right in the pit box!

For the track side they’ve announced a new IFMAR World Champions banner. Sitting at 3′ x 5′ it’ll fit in many places to show off. Screen printed and high strength make it long lasting and durable.

Stop by Reedy or your favorite shop and grab a few!

Reedy has just announced the Reedy 121VR .21 Off-Road Competition Nitro Engine. Some details are 3+1 Port Cylinder, Polished Turbo Scoop Crankshaft, 2-Needle Carb, and was designed in-house at Reedy. It’s built for buggies and should be available in April of 2009.

Because EFRA’s (Europe) size regulations for LiPo batteries differ from that of ROAR, Reedy is pleased to announce the release of 35C standard and saddle pack batteries specifically for the European market and for clubs that use EFRA regulations as the basis for their rules. This new battery also meets the regulations set forth by the BRCA.

Reedy has announced the new WolfPack 4200mAh NiMH Packs. They are assembled using the all new SC-R cells. They come with the standard Tamiya connectors. For those of you still loving the NiMH scene, these should be available in February.

Reedy has just announced a new 35C 5100maH hard case competition saddle pack LiPo battery. The hard case is there to protect the pack, which is a great idea. I can see these things taking a few hits on the front of my crawler or something. The come ready for you to install your favorite connector. The price seems a little high at $189, but I’m guessing it will be much less then that when it hits your LHS! (Local Hobby Shop)

Reedy has just released their Micro Brushless System, perfect for 1:18 scale vehicles.

Until Next Time,
