Exotek Rock Rey HD gearbox set & servo arm

Exotek have introduced a heavy duty front aluminium gearbox set and a heavy duty clamping servo arm for the Losi Baja and Rock Rey trucks. Starting with the gearbox set, the all-machined alloy gearbox delivers extra durability and precision gear mesh and alignment – the alloy construction insures the drive shaft gear maintains 100 percent teeth engagement against the diff gear to eliminate the problem of worn gear teeth and poor gear mesh. Additionally, a larger 11mm bearing is included to better withstand the forces of high powered motors on the input shaft to reduce bearing failures there. The gearbox comes with a polished and anodised finish and it fits the 1/10th Losi Baja and Rock Rey kits.

Exotek EB410 rear brass weight set

Exotek have introduced a brass rear weight set for the Tekno EB410 buggy. Made of brass and black coated to reduce corrosion, this weight set is designed to easily bolt on to the rear of the EB410 with an extra low profile. The main weight is 40g and included are two add on 8g weights so that drivers can tune the rear weight of the buggy as needed. The weight set is also slightly angled off of the chassis to maintain chassis flex. Sold separately are additional 8g weights to add extra grams if needed.

Exotek TLR 22 & B6/B64 titanium driveshaft accessories

Exotek have released a range of titanium driveshaft accessories for the TLR 22 and Team Associated B6/B64 buggies. First up are lightweight Ti6 titanium rear axle shafts for the TLR 22 series of cars. Coming from Exotek’s Flite series of lightweight parts, the shafts are machined with a tighter tolerance for less bearing slop than the stock axles and about 50 percent weight saving compared to the stock steel axles. They are best suited for stock classes for reduced rotational mass and weight needed in the hot 17.5 classes as they are not suggested for modified use. The axles work with the stock or MIP bones.

Exotek roll out new EB410 optionals

Coming from Exotek and made for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy are a couple of new optional parts. First up is a machined heavy duty 81T spur gear and mounting plate set for the stock centre gear diff. The much stronger machined delrin spur gear reduces the chances of stripped gears and includes the machined 7075 mounting plate with hardware. The 2-piece design also makes for quick and easy spur gear changes as owners do not have to open the gear diff and remove the outdrive, or refill the oils. In addition the alloy mounting plate provides cooling of the diff fluid for more consistent diff action. A 81t spur gear is included and the alloy mount also works with Exotek’s optional 72T spur.

Exotek D216 aluminium main chassis plate

Coming from Exotek and made for the HB Racing D216 2WD buggy is a machined 7075 aluminium main chassis plate. It is designed to provide a more consistent handling and lowered CG for today’s highly groomed indoor tracks. The plate is machined with a chamfered edge on the bottom to improve ground clearance and the top is machined to a have 2.5mm thick main section to reduce weight and 4mm thick side rails area to maintain stiffness. Also machined pockets are added throughout to reduce weight, bringing it to 145g. The chassis works with the stock side rails or the Exotek D216 carbon side rails.

Exotek Yeti HDX aluminium chassis set

Coming from Exotek and made for the Axial Yeti 1/10th scale rock racer is the new HDX aluminium chassis set. The heavy duty 7075 alloy chassis will transform any project truck into a true trail dominator. The hard-anodised billet 7075 machined chassis adds about 55 grams of weight to the lowest part of the truck which dramatically lowers the centre of gravity which means less roll overs and increased traction over all terrains. Key design features include a 12mm narrower chassis width and smoothed bottom surface for reduced chassis snagging of terrain. The smooth inner chassis and open rear chassis design makes for less debris collecting and easier clean up after hitting the trail and a separate nose plate makes for easier maintenance. Carbon fibre upper plates add that factory racing look while lightweight, super adjustable and also more secure hook and loop battery straps hold the battery tight. Integrated, machined rear suspension link mounting directly to the chassis helps with precision and durability and a lowered ESC position and alloy servo mounts increase the truck’s performance. Not included in the conversion is the needed Axial 1/10th scale Yeti donor truck.
