Exotek D418 centre spool kit

Exotek have released an ultra lightweight centre spool conversion set for the HB Racing D418 buggy. Using the kit reduces the drivetrain’s rotating mass for that extra boost in 13.5T and 17.5T spec racing as the completed spool set weighs only 23g with the spur gear. A machined 69T POM spur gear is included and bolts on to the lightweight alloy spool. The spool housing is also compatible with Exotek 66T, 69T and 72T Flite spur gears or standard 48p Kimbrough gears. The set requires the use of the stock diff cups, bearings, steel pins and large O-rings form the D418 centre diff.

Exotek roll out new AE 6.1 series optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Team Associated 6.1 series off-road kits. First up is the Flite top shaft for the Flite spur gear mount. Made for the 6.1 series of laydown and layback transmission kit, but not for the standup transmission, the ultra light top shaft has been drilled and the teeth narrowed for increased acceleration and a cooler running motor. The top shaft teeth are 6.5mm wide which is wider than the lightweight Associated top shaft teeth which helps prolong the life of the plastic idler gear. Substantially lighter than the stock shaft and slipper assembly when combined with Exotek’s optimally available special lightened spur mount, the assembly weighs in at only 9.2g complete with hardware and 69 spur. The shaft is made in Germany and comes black anodised for wear resistance.

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.

Exotek RS7 chassis conversion for TA07

Exotek have introduced their new RS7 chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya TA07 touring car. The lightweight pro conversion carbon fibre chassis set is of a streamlined design and adds many pro features for the venerable TA07 such as an adjustable battery mount set that allows for easy weight bias adjustments for forward or back battery placement. Adjustable carbon battery cups are extra lightweight and adjustable to match any full-size LiPo hardcase pack and adjustable LiPo tabs securely hold in the battery without the need of tape. The 1-piece 7075 alloy motor mount is 4g lighter than stock and lowers the pulleys by 3mm and the motor by 1mm for an even lower centre of gravity and it comes anodised black for improved heat dissipation. Also included in the package is a 2.25mm carbon fibre lower plate that is narrower than the stock chassis for improved cornering and a 2.0mm carbon fibre 1-piece upper plate makes for reduced tweak. Stainless steering posts round out the conversion kit. The conversion chassis and parts weighs only about 122g which is about 50g lighter than stock.

Exotek R-Tek GT 190mm body shell

Coming from Exotek is the new R-Tek GT 190mm body shell for USGT and GT classes. The shell was designed with an aggressive splitter, muscular fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts and a sports car cockpit for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag. The body has two trim lines marked on the bottom; one for low profile shock towers and the 2nd mark for extra low body mounting on cars such as the Awesomatix A800. Also the wing has two trim lines; one 10mm USGT legal trim line and the second is a 20mm trim line similar to sedan wings for extra downforce. Details such as rearward mounted wing for scale looks actually increases downforce while reducing drag and the body was designed with ample tyre clearance in the wheel wells to mount the body low without rubbing the tyres. Specially shaped splitter provides steering while being durable thanks to the modified angles and raised wing pedestals places the wing higher up into cleaner air. The body is made from 0.7mm premium polycarbonate for improved durability compared to other similar thickness polycarbonate. Included come steel wing mounting hardware, window masks and a detailed sticker sheet.
