Exotek AE 6 series alloy rear hubs & wing mounts

Exotek have released two new aluminium option parts for the Team Associated 6 series of kits in the form of 2-tone rear hubs and a buggy wing mount set. Starting with the rear hubs, the stealthy 2-colour anodised alloy rear uprights fit the B64, T6.1 and SC6.1. The customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents goes great with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts and through careful cutting and shaping the hubs are actually 2g lighter than the alloy Team Associated counterparts. The set includes 2mm roll centre alloy spacers to match the stock geometry of the AE alloy hubs and Exotek’s updated design works as either the left or right hub, giving racers more camber link hole options.

Coming from Factory RC is a new battery retention system for the Team Associated 6 series of off-road kits, such as the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1.
