Exotek Racing TC5X LiPo Chassis

New from Exotek Racing is this LiPo chassis for the Team Associated TC5, called the TC5X. The chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex, so no more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut out like in the stock chassis. The net result is much more predictable handling. With the unique CNC manufactured stainless steel weights your LiPo battery can be positioned to have equal left and right balance within grams without the need to add lead weight and without raising the battery up higher. The chassis has also been narrowed to 100mm wide for less chassis scrub through the corners for better corner speed, while the servo mounting has been moved forward a few mm for extra room for other electronics.
