New Exotek TRF201 & XB4 aluminium option parts

Exotek have new option parts for the Tamiya TRF201 and the Xray XB4 available. Starting with the Tamiya-related part, Exotek’s direct spur mount is now also available for TRF201 series buggies. The slipper eliminator hub is ideal for stock and oval racing as it weighs in at only 3.8g, making for improved acceleration and cooler running motors. The part also increases gear ratio options and it is simply swapped for the original slipper clutch when conditions call for it. Also new and made for the Xray XB4 is a 4-piece set of shock bottom caps. The parts add some visual impact thanks to their orange anodising.

Exotek F104 Ultra diff axle & diff housing

Exotek Racing introduce two new option parts for the F104 series of formula cars in the form of an aluminium diff axle and diff housing.
