Exotek SC10 4×4 saddle pack mounts

Exotek have released these saddle pack mounts for the SC10 4×4 LCG chassis. Using pre-drilled holes the design moves the saddle packs forward to better balance the front to back weight ratio and get more front wheel pull while the side by side layout also generates more corner bite. A no hassle design, simply remove 1 screw to allow both packs to slide out from the left side of the holder. Made from 3mm quasi weave construction for extra reliability, it comes supplied with threaded posts, spacers and hardware.

Exotek TRF417 extra flex top deck

ExotekTRF417XSTopDeck

Exotek Racing release the extra flex top deck for Tamiya’s TRF417 touring car. The part is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock 417 top plate and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fibre 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 tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.

Exotek alloy LCG center chassis for SC10 4×4

Exotek have released this new machined alloy LCG center chassis for the SC10 4×4. The main complaints with the stock SC10 4×4 is that the truck has a high center of gravity that causes the truck to easily traction roll in high grip conditions, is too light which causes it to lose out in door banging when running against heavier trucks and does not feel as stable as the heavier Losi trucks. This new chassis adds over 5oz to your truck and mostly at the lowest part of the truck, the main chassis for a more sure footed, planted feel. Track testers are reporting a much smoother easier to drive truck that stays absolutely planted at high and low speeds and jumps and lands much more easily without the erratic feeling of the stock truck. Machined from 100% billet it has a hard anodized gun metal finish and laser etched Exotek logos. A stiffer center section will help eliminate the reports of the belt from coming off of the front pulley due to the flex of the stock chassis.

Exotek F1R chassis conversion for F104

Exotek F1R chassis conversion for F104

Exotek have released the F1R, the next evolution in the Exotek F1 line of chassis for the F104 and F103. In development since winter 2011 to bring you the best Tamiya chassis option for the rapidly emerging F1 class. Race proven features include a link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip with the pod including ball links and reinforced easy set side links. Optimized battery and electronics location sees the battery, ESC and receiver mounted as far back as possible to maximize the rear weight bias for improved rear traction and stability under acceleration and braking. A new bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response, which coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car. A new alloy shock mount not only looks great but it serves a vital function as well. The weight of this part creates more rear weight bias for more on power grip and creates body roll so that it also creates more cornering/ lateral grip. On top of this it provides secure battery mounting and much easier battery removal by simply loosening the 2 mounting screws. The battery can then be lifted straight up and out without interference from the ESC or receiver.

Exotek Sprint SPX Pro chassis set

Exotek Sprint SPX Pro chassis set

Exotek Racing have produced this carbon fibre Pro chassis conversion for the Sprint2 Flux, Sprint2 Drift and Sprint. Made in the USA using high quality 2.25mm thick carbon fibre, its improved design prevents the front belt from rubbing the top plate. The new design also has open diff access at the bottom of the chassis to eject road debris helping prevent damage to the front and rear belts. Designed to still flex enough to help generate stability but stiff enough for responsiveness its narrow design offers improved cornering, less chassis scrub on the sides which helps improve traction while cornering.
