While checking out ROAR national champion Keven Hebert's Team Associated 12R5.2, we snuck a peek at the rumored prototype Reedy 510R speed control. It would be the fourth race-ready brushless ESC released under the iconic brand name, and it's being used by other Team Associated drivers at the event as well.

The Associated team drivers were tight-lipped about the new unit, though they did promise more information during the International Scale Touring Car portion of the event later this week. We can see that it's got a robust, hard-anodized case with top-mounted heatsink, a push-button switch and five vertical soldering posts. According to Reedy's RIck Hohwart, the new 510R isn't intended to be used for 1/12-scale, but it's what the drivers had available for the event and so they were able to make it work.
