Exotek FX10 Formula Ten conversion
Exotek Racing have released the FX10, a high performance, super lightweight chassis conversion that takes the HPI Formula 10 to the next level.

The new parts allows for more LiPo battery options by accepting round or square type flat bottomed 7.4v packs including Thunder Power, IB and Orion, with a max battery size of 47mm wide, 24mm tall, 137mm long. A modular battery strap design gives secure battery mounting but also quick and easy battery access. Other features include the pan car type tweak screw adjustment feature and the carbon fibre front arm brace and the set includes the orange anodized battery posts, gun metal spacers and necessary alloy steel hardware.
