Team Exotek have released this rather nice 3 piece gear cover set for their Tek18 chassis. Made from lightweight aluminium the cover also doubles as a motor heat sink but mainly helps keep stones and other debris from getting into the gears and damaging them. Available in 3 different colors, red, blue and black, to match your chassis.

Exotek Racing have released an all new design concept for the R3 this time around with the goal to use Lipo batteries in the M18. The chassis plate has been machined to make a pocket in the 2mm thick chassis to protect LiPos from being damaged from the track surface, yet still maintaining the low profile and super narrow features of their R3 chassis. For the die hard NiMh racers, the chassis still accepts 6 cells side by side and with the addition of multiple tape slots in the battery compartment you are able to position your battery exactly where you want it to adjust the cars balance. The R3 now also accepts micro servos such as the Hitec 85MG and for improved car control, the R3 continues to use its unique mono crank steering system.

Exotek Racing have released this genuine titanium 64 grade replacement axle for the Robitronic Scalpel. Weighing in at only 5 grams at almost half the weight of the stock axle, this leightweight yet strong titanium axle helps your handling due to lower rear pod suspension weight, more balanced left side diff action and of course improved acceleration. Also features shortened stub axles (shortened 1mm on each side) for less overhang thus reducing the chance of your axle snagging a track barrier.
