Exotek TCX-XS chassis & top plate
Exotek have released this ultra narrow TCX-XS liPo chassis. This extra soft chassis is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock TCX chassis and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great chassis to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races. Also for the TCX is this extra soft top plate, which has been aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock TCX top plate and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. Greater overall flex for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.

The kit includes ball bearings with steering crank, heavy duty center post, servo mounts, servo turnbuckle and mounting bits. Requires F1R kit, F104 adjustable turnbuckle set for steering, low profile servo and ‘shorty’ type 7.4v LiPo.

Exotek EX06 pro conversion chassis
Exotek have released their EX06 pro conversion chassis that turns your TA-06 into a power house that can rival the performance of any other high end car model on the market. They have taken the center battery layout of the TA-06 and tuned it for maximum performance. Some of the refinements include an extra long narrow top plate design which works the same way as high end touring cars allowing controlled flex laterally to improve overall side bite and corner speeds. The top plate is mated to an alloy front section that connects directly to the front bulkhead without any chassis posts to generate traction and to help eliminate tweak inherent in chassis post designs. An alloy front top plate section securely mounts the front pulley set for proper belt function while a new steering assembly design is not attached to the top plate just like in high end tourers to help generate front traction and to eliminate top plate tweak.

The part is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock 417 top plate and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fibre for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.

Exotek F1R chassis conversion for F104
Exotek have released the F1R, the next evolution in the Exotek F1 line of chassis for the F104 and F103. In development since winter 2011 to bring you the best Tamiya chassis option for the rapidly emerging F1 class. Race proven features include a link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip with the pod including ball links and reinforced easy set side links. Optimized battery and electronics location sees the battery, ESC and receiver mounted as far back as possible to maximize the rear weight bias for improved rear traction and stability under acceleration and braking. A new bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response, which coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car. A new alloy shock mount not only looks great but it serves a vital function as well. The weight of this part creates more rear weight bias for more on power grip and creates body roll so that it also creates more cornering/ lateral grip. On top of this it provides secure battery mounting and much easier battery removal by simply loosening the 2 mounting screws. The battery can then be lifted straight up and out without interference from the ESC or receiver.

Exotek Sprint SPX Pro chassis set
Exotek Racing have produced this carbon fibre Pro chassis conversion for the Sprint2 Flux, Sprint2 Drift and Sprint. Made in the USA using high quality 2.25mm thick carbon fibre, its improved design prevents the front belt from rubbing the top plate. The new design also has open diff access at the bottom of the chassis to eject road debris helping prevent damage to the front and rear belts. Designed to still flex enough to help generate stability but stiff enough for responsiveness its narrow design offers improved cornering, less chassis scrub on the sides which helps improve traction while cornering.
