Exotek EFX2 HD front bulkhead

Coming from Exotek is a 1-piece heavy duty aluminium front bulkhead for the Exotek EFX2 chassis conversion kit. The new design greatly increases the durability of the front of the car by removing the brittle plastic arm mounts and at 12g actually weighs less than the stock components. A simplified single-piece bulkhead design makes for tweak free geometry after race contact and with easier maintenance and assembly when in the pits. The all 7075 aluminium construction comes with a black polished finish and silver chamfered edges for a clean factory racing look.

Exotek ET410 machined spur gear & mounting plate

New from Exotek is a machined heavy duty delrin spur gear and aluminium mounting plate set for the Tekno ET410 truck’s centre gear differential. The 2-piece design allows for quick and easy spur gear changes as the owner does not have to open the gear diff and remove the outdrive, or refill the oils. The alloy mounting plate also provides cooling of the diff fluid for more consistent diff action while the machined delrin spur gear provides robust durability along with smoother spur gear operation. The set includes a 53T 32 pitch spur gear that is also available separately.

The set includes a left and a right hand side plate.

Exotek FGX Evo EFX2 carbon chassis conversion

Exotek have announced the release of their new and improved 2nd generation performance pro chassis conversion for the 3Racing FGX Evo. The set completely updates the FGX Evo into a track worthy competitor by changing out the electronics layout for optimal weight bias and more importantly drops significant weight from the base car. It gives owners that competitive edge by combining the independent suspension of the FGX with an extra lightweight yet more durable chassis package. Key features include a nearly 100g weight cut versus the stock components, a 10mm shortened wheelbase for increased corner speeds and more on power grip as well as an adjustable forward or back LiPi cradle system with lateral battery mounting accepts standard shorty batteries. It allows adjusting weight bias on the fly as track conditions require. Also included are a heavy duty top plate system that provides better durability and lower centre of gravity over the stock plate. A new F104 style chassis mounted wing allows mounting of more durable and lighter F104/Xray wings. The alloy front IFS mounting plate ensures secure IFS suspension operation and a machined front damper set with a “soft” spring set has much softer yet plush damping compared to the stock units. This greatly improves steering response and the ability to soak up bumps.

Exotek Exo-Six.2 alloy gear box set

Made for Exotek’s new Exo-Six.2 and older Exo-Six chassis conversion kits is an aluminium gear box set. The limited edition item is machined from 7075 aluminium and it provides a solid, tweak-free design that is about 8g lighter than each of the stock plastic TB05 gear boxes. Being 25 percent percent lighter than stock also means substantially lower centre of gravity for improved chassis roll. New camber mounting points are more inboard for smoother handling when running longer camber link lengths and more robust to resist breakages as in the stock plastic mounts. Additional features include a new bearing-mounted swaybar collar system and precise bearing guides for a much more free drive train versus stock. The set included a single gear box with sway bar mounting hardware and it is usable on the Exo-Six.2 and Exo-Six chassis conversion but not the Exo-Five or stock Tamiya chassis.
