Exotek introduce new TRF419 & TA07 alloy optionals

Exotek have introduced new aluminium option parts for the Tamiya TRF419 and TA07 touring cars. First up are heavy duty alloy front steering C-hubs in 4 degree specification. The precision-made hubs for Tamiya series touring cars such as the TRF419, TRF418, TA07 and more that are using the new 418 steering knuckles, increase the rigidity over the stock nylon hubs for more consistent handling, especially in higher grip conditions. In addition the parts add durability over the carbon nylon C-hubs and they are still light at 8g for the pair. Also new is the aluminium servo mount for 419 series touring cars. The 1-piece mount offers a solid design for less flex and less tweak after impacts, it weighs in at only 9g and also works with the new Exotek RS7 conversion.
