Power HD, one of the leading servo manufacturers and proud partner of the ETS, has aniunced a new servo to hit the market in early 2025. The Servo is called GTS-2 and will find it`s place especially in 1:10 scale racing cars.
Power HD product announcement
GTS-2, preferred by many professional drivers and world champions around the world, is a low profile servo developed for 1/10 racing cars. It wights only “47” gram, but with full metal CNC case and metal gear, setting a new benchmark for the lightweight servo in the RC industry. The output gear is made of TC4 titanium alloy, which is 4.5 grams lighter than 303 steel gear and increases 50% hardness and toughness. The servo height is 3 mm, shorter than the traditional low profile servo.
GTS-2 has two versions:
The 6 cm version uses reverse wire output, and the wires are output from the bottom of the case, making the receiver placement space more abundant. It ideals for 1/10 Electric Touring.
The 18 cm version uses normal wire output, Deals for 1/10 Electric Buggy, 1/10 Nitro Touring, 1/8 GP.
Compatible with the high-speed mode of major radios and the i-BUS2 protocol of FlySky Radio, and can be remotely setup parameters and sensed the temperature data on the FlySky NB4+ Pro Radio.
Our professional engineers and drivers spent half a year developing and testing the GTS-2. This servo has clear characteristics, more prominent driving feel, and a “combination of stability and sensitivity” that allows you to steadily increase your car’s lap time! This good servo will soon appear in major RC races in 2025!

Schumacher factory driver Michal Orlowski has won the famous and important EWS race in the UK last weekend. Awesomatix driver Olly Jefferies was TQ after qualifying and finished second overall with Kyle Branson completing the podium in third place. Mugen Seiki driver Ronald Völker took fourth place and Elliott Harper (Schumacher) finished fifth overall.
RC Maker has released two new optional parts for the SP1 platform. The parts are on the way to europe and will be soon available at ToniSport.
Optional front suspension arms for RC MAKER SP1
Fits both left and right sides of the front.
These -0.75 arms reduce the front track width by 1.5mm overall. We have found this increases the initial steering of the car making it more aggressive on turn in. This is mostly good for low to medium traction tracks as it helps the car get into the corner quicker and also respond faster through chicanes. These narrow arms could increase the chance of traction rolling in high traction conditions and will make the car a bit more difficult to drive as a result of the extra initial response.
This topdeck stiffens the bulkheads and flex at the rear of the car. This results in the car being more stable on power out of corners, with slightly less rotation and more stability on slower corners as well.
