Exotek 22 adjustable wheelie bar set

Exotek have introduced their new extra long adjustable carbon fibre wheelie bar for the TLR 22 3.0 to 5.0 series cars. The wheelie bar extends from 9.5” to 11.75” – axle to axle – to match your race event rules. The longer bar gives the car more stability, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often. Owners are also able to finely adjust the wheel height via the 4mm turnbuckle or make large adjustments by adding spacers under the wheel. The wheelie bar is made of heavy duty 3mm carbon fibre with alloy turnbuckles and mounts and includes a ball-raced machined alloy wheel with oversized rubber O-ring tyre. The set fits the 22Vader as well as the stock TLR chassis 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 , nowever not the 1.0 or 2.0 chassis.

Exotek DR10 CF wheelie bar & slipper eliminator

Exotek have announced the release of new option parts for the Team Associated DR10 drag racing car in the form of a carbon fibre wheelie bar and a slipper eliminator direct spur gear mount. Starting with the extra long carbon fibre wheelie bar, the longer bar gives the driver more stability than the short stock wheelie bar, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often. The assembly is adjustable at the base, using the stock DR10 adjustments, but it is also possible to make finer adjustments on the bar itself so that the driver can tune in the absolute perfect bar height. The wheelie bar is constructed of heavy duty 3mm carbon fiber with alloy support posts.

Exotek F1Ultra 1/10th formula car kit

Exotek have introduced their first ever full car kit, the F1Ultra formula pan car. After years of adding innovation to other F1 kits Exotek figured it was time to release their own kit incorporating cutting edge patented chassis technology combined with high quality components and features. The car isn’t just a redesigned 1/12 chassis, but an all-new design that was created to maximise rubber tyre grip as well as add extra durability that these very unique cars require. The features list starts with the patent pending floating rear pod suspension system that provides unmatched rear traction needed for rubber tyre F1 racing. Because the rear suspension generates so much rear traction drivers are able to use more aggressive front tyres which translates to greatly improved lap times and full race length consistency.

Exotek pan car ride height gauge

Exotek have introduced their new long reach style ride height gauge that makes for much easier ride height measurements for pan car style chassis cars. The longer reach helps to clear the LiPo battery and side links so that the ride height is not skewed by the gauge hitting the battery and links. The 2-sided gauge measures from 3.5mm to 6mm and it is made of precision machined alloy.

Exotek 22 Vader drag racing chassis conversion kit

Exotek have introduced their 22 Vader lightweight street eliminator drag racing chassis conversion kit for the TLR 22 3.0 to 5.0 series of buggies. The set converts the 22 buggy to be race ready for the hot new Street Eliminator/Slash No-Prep race classes springing up around the US. It provides the legal 13” wheelbase to fit under the hottest new no-prep bodies that are on the market, such as the ones offered by Proline and JConcepts. The pro chassis conversion set features carbon fibre made and machined in USA, a heavy duty 2.5mm thick chassis and side rail plates, an alloy servo mounting block that ties into the side rails for extra rigid and tweak-free front chassis setup as well as six heavy duty alloy side rail posts. Also included are a heavy duty alloy front kick-up plate, alloy parts that are finished in glossy black and silver cut to match the stock 5.0 look, and a 4-position shorty LiPo mounting to adjust for wheelie/no wheelie balance. The 2-level chassis design allows to lower or raise the centre of gravity for stability yet keeps the gear box higher to increase traction and keep the drive axles straighter for higher speeds. The 2-layer rear chassis also raises the rear roll centre which increases the forward launch traction while reducing side to side roll for improved high speed stability. The kit offers multiple weight balance options to maximise grip on the street or on the track and it includes a 3mm carbon fibre front shock tower to run a lower ride height as well as allow the use of an optional street eliminator body mount kit. The kit also includes a carbon fibre rear body mount plate that bolts to the stock 22 wing mounts for use with the Traxxas #TRA1914R body post set, it comes with a standup 3-gear Exotek slotted motor plate, steel hardware, extra large Exotek logo stickers, and an instruction sheet.
