It is powered by Thunder Tiger’s ever reliable and powerful .28 pullstart engine with a large 150cc fuel tank, and has [...]

Futaba have released three new High Voltage servos, of which two should be of interest to the car and truck guys. The new S9352HV and S9353HV servos both have the same s/0.06 speed and humungous 306 oz/in torque, but the difference is the S9353HV boasts a full metal case for extra durability.
