Exotek 30mm aluminium fan shroud

Exotek have announced the release of their new 30mm aluminium touring car fan shroud. It was developed to blast the motor fan’s air directly onto and through the motor vents for a maximum cooling effect. Importantly, the shroud positions the fan about 12mm away from the motor can to help prevent the motor magnets from impeding the fan motor and the shroud’s lightweight alloy construction insures factory looks and extra durability. The shroud comes supplied with M2.5×16 screws to attach the fan to the shroud while the whole assembly is mounted using a small square of optional R/C sticky tape, right up against the motor. Not included comes the required 30mm fan.

Exotek release new fan mount accessories

Exotek have introduced several new accessories to make fan mounting easier. First up is the V2 variant of the company’s popular 1/8 Exo fan mount that features a larger double screw mounting bar. The mount allows to attach optional high powered 40mm and 30mm fans as the mounting bracket has multi-mount features that allows the fan to be securely affixed to the motor can in tight spaces. The extra modular design means with a few adjustments owners can mount a fan securely in any 1/8th scale truggy and most E-buggies and the mount positions the fans 10mm to 14mm away from the motor can. This proper spacing helps insure the fan does not lose power due to magnetic interference from the motor. A fan that is placed too close to the motor can actually stop spinning as the driver applies maximum throttle due to the fact that the motors stronger EMF can slow or shut down the fans EMF. The mount was designed for the use with high power 40mm and 30mm fans and standard 1/8th scale motors with 39.5mm to 40.5mm diameter and it comes in polished and anodised black or blue for a factory look.

Exotek Rock/Baja Rey Pro steering set

Exotek have announced the release of their new heavy duty Pro steering set for the 1/10 Losi Rock and Baja Rey. It was designed with a beefier structure and engineered to have the most precision thanks to the robust 7075 alloy design that incorporates an additional four bearings to connect the steering rack, instead of bushings, which eliminates friction, wear and slop. The set also includes crush sleeves that go between the bearings which help prolong the bearings life and maintains precise fit and operation of the rack. Lastly, a bigger 3mm threaded steel connecting ball is included which is stronger than the smaller 4/40 stock connecting ball.
