AnnouncementsProTek RC digital servos receive new specifications after stringent, universal testing. A core principal of ProTek RC is to over deliver, which is why the servo’s initial listed specifications were lower than the servo's capabilites. After extensive laboratory testing of both ProTek and competing servos, it was clear that ProTek RC servos were significantly underrated. RC professionals and industry experts noted that the servos were markedly faster and more powerful than advertised.

AnnouncementsUltra4 Racing is the latest and greatest off road motorsport event on earth. This style of racing challenges man to a duel with the elements. Unlike standard off road racing in a stadium or in the wide open desert, Ultra4 vehicles face challenges that no other motorsport demands. Competitors are not only made to cross vast areas of open desert, they also travel up boulder strewn canyons and negotiate terrain that appears impassable. To compete in such a demanding environment, competitors build custom four wheel drive vehicles that are made to crawl over the harshest terrain, then conquer the wide open desert at exhilarating triple digit speeds. This element of automotive enthusiasm is precisely what Axial R/C has set out to deliver in 1:10 scale, so the relationship between Axial R/C and Ultra4 is a very natural fit.
