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.
