Exotek Racing DR10 motor plate & clamping hexes

More new options for the DR10 from Exotek Racing who have produced a new motor plate and clamping hexes. Starting with the vented motor plate which features aggressive slot cuts for less weight that also helps lower the motor temps faster. The extra machining brings the weight down to 13grams (7grams lighter than stock) but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to minimise flex for solid motor mounting and gear mesh. The precision machined heavy duty alloy rear clamping hex set has looser steel cross pin tolerance to allow you to tighten the wheel nuts without binding the bearings. The hexes do not lock onto the bearings, unlike the stock plastic hexes. They use heavy duty M2 alloy steel screws for the clamping.

Exotek Slash drag shock tower & titanium front axles

Two new items from Exotek Racing for drag racing your Slash with the release of new rear shock tower and titanium front axles. The heavy duty street racing low profile shock tower with multi hole settings lowers the ride height when using the stock long shocks and also extra mounting holes that allow you to use shorter front shocks on the rear. A wider tower so that you have the option to mount the shocks more straight up and are ideal for drag racing they are made from 4mm thick carbon fibre for an extra stiff tower that attaches to an alloy base for super secure mounting to your gear box as well as more secure camber rod mounting for less camber flex and more consistent handling. The precision machined premium titanium front axle set is for the 2wd Slash steering knuckles. At only 5.8 grams per pair compared with 12 grams for a pair of stock axles with alloy hexes, these axles are perfect for reducing rotating mass for quicker acceleration. The one piece machined axle with hex helps your tires run more true and balanced which is needed for high speed drag racing. Also includes two .5mm thick shims that allows you to space the front axle so that your car is wider or narrower for extra tuning.

Exotek Racing DR10 options

Exotek Racing have introduced a lot of new items for the Associated DR10, starting with this lightweight 2mm carbon fibre ESC tray set. It allows for easier mounting of larger esc’s and stock esc’s in a centrally balanced location and comes with alloy posts and hardware. Next up is a heavy duty alloy servo mount that makes for easier servo install and removal thanks to the 1-piece design that will always match the chassis holes. There is also a precision machined premium titanium front axle set for the DR10. At only 4.5 grams per pair, these axles are perfect for reducing rotating mass for quicker acceleration. A rounded and angled hex profile also makes wheel installation extra quick and easy. Finally there is a hard anodised 7075 alloy idler gear for the DR10. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.

Exotek Racing have gone big into the growing drag scene and today have released some goodies for the 2wd Slash and Bandit.

You are able to finely adjust the wheel height via the 4mm turnbuckle or make large adjustments by adding spacers under the wheel. Made from heavy duty 3mm carbon fibre with alloy turnbuckles and mounts it includes a ball raced machined alloy wheel with oversized rubber o-ring tire. For the Slash, and also suitable for oval body mounting, is a heavy duty carbon fibre and alloy base body mount set. Extending the body mount back by 28mm and out of the rear windows of most street eliminator cars, the rigid carbon fibre construction ensures less body bounce and flex. Finally there is the new low profile, low ride height heavy duty 4mm thick carbon fibre front shock tower for 2wd Slash street eliminator cars. The lowered tower allows you to mount the body lower and when using Traxxas 4tec shocks it further lowers the front ride height.
