Newly designed 7075 heavy duty bulkheads are included and their shortened design allows for improved chassis flex. 4 heavy duty 7075 suspension blocks are included, FF-C, FR-C (split style), RF-XB (split style) and RR-D and the included blocks will give you 0 degree of front arm sweep and 3 degrees of rear toe. The chassis is made from 2.25mm USA made precision cut soft weave carbon fiber and at only 84mm wide the main chassis can better utilize lower ride heights for more aggressive cornering.

Exotek SC10 4×4 locked front clutch

Exotek Racing have produced this ‘must have’ tuning option for your SC10 4X4. 6 months of track testing has shown enhanced acceleration and braking thanks to locking the left slipper pad only. With this installed you will experience the ability to power out of corners sooner and allow you to brake later and still remain stable. The slipper engages for the rear wheels only and is still fully adjustable. The remaining right side slipper will run much cooler and more consistently though because it is no longer driving the front wheels. Excellent for high power motors.

Exotek S411 ultra narrow LiPo chassis

Exotek Racing have released this ultra narrow LiPo chassis for the Serpent S411. This extra soft chassis is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock S411 chassis and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great chassis to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races. Also new is a steering crank brace for the S411 which stabilizes the steering cranks without stiffening the top plate to maintain natural grip and consistent steering.
