Exotek TLR 22 direct spur gear hub & spring retainers

Exotek Racing have new aluminium option parts for the Team Losi Racing 22 line of buggies and trucks available in the form of a direct spur gear hub and aluminium spring retainers. Starting with the spur gear hub, the part is machined from high-quality aluminium and designed to replace the kit’s slipper assembly of all 22 2WD vehicles with a lightweight, rigid hub ideal for stock class and oval racing. The lower weight increases acceleration and it makes for cooler running motors while the overall design allows to run all Kimbrough standard gears for increased gear ratio options. Weighting in at 3.8g the part is also easily swapped for the stock slipper when conditions call for it.

AKA Deja Vu & Gridiron II short course tyres

AKA soon have new short course truck tyres available in the form of the Deja Vu and Gridiron II. The Deja Vu is a bar-type tyre for indoor clay and outdoor hard packed tracks. The taller tread pattern cuts through the dust and provides a longer wearing tyre for abrasive tracks. The Gridiron II is similar to its older brother, but refined with a large number of smaller pins that are meant to work well on hard packed tracks with a layer of dust that sits on top. Used in the front the tyre also is good to smooth out steering on 2WD SC trucks. Both tyres are available with red inserts or pre-mounted on AKA Cyclone wheels in clay, super soft, and soft compounds.
