NEW PRODUCTS

ENERGY ROTOR Speed Controls

Designed specifically for multirotors, Hitec’s new ENERGY ROTOR speed controls provide smooth and accurate throttle linearity for all flights. Flashed with the pilot-preferred BLHeli firmware and utilizing ONESHOT

synchronized communication with a flight controller, these must-have brushless controllers achieve lightning-fast response and interaction with your model. Features include:

1. BLHeli Firmware

2. Pre-set ONESHOT Synchronization

Tracked Robot Kit

Agent 390™ is a powerful tracked robot platform now available from Actobotics®. Incorporated is a smooth ball bearing supported drive track system to achieve high maneuverability and omnidirectional control. Although the contact patch on the tracks is smooth, they still offer fantastic traction and climbing ability. The 18” x 16. 42” aluminum chassis provides an extremely rigid base which can carry well over 50 lbs. The flat top plates offer an easy way to attach additional components directly to the platform, and the center track idler can be shifted to be closer to the front or back. The side plates (triple channel brackets) are tied together using 6-32 tapped aluminum standoffs that also serve to hold the belt in place.

These plates incorporate the Actobotics hole pattern for mounting other components. Because builders may already have motors they want to utilize for driving the Agent 390, ServoCity offers this kit with or without the 313 RPM HD precision planetary gearmotors and mounts. Pricing with motors is $389.99; pricing without motors is $329.99.

Parallel and Perpendicular Dual Gear Rack Kits

Also available from ServoCity is the 785 Dual Gear Rack Kit which is a simple way to create linear motion using a rotational servo. This kit is ideal for steering rack setups or other applications requiring smooth linear motion. The kit comes with the multi-rotation Hitec HS-785HB servo which allows for up to 9. 6” of travel (up to 19. 2” of total travel) from each of the gear racks when sending the proper PWM signal from a servo controller. The kit is constructed of 6061 T6 aluminum components and wear-resistant Delrin plastic to create a durable yet lightweight assembly.

The framework has several mounting options and integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Actobotics line of products. The 785 Dual Gear Rack Kit is great for projects that require symmetric linear movement from a common center point using a PWM signal. The kit includes the servo and all of the required hardware. Both the perpendicular and parallel versions of the kit retail for $99.99.
