Flash Point pre-oiled air filters & .21 exhaust gaskets

Flash Point have new pre-oiled air filters for a range of off-road vehicles as well as .21 exhaust gaskets available. Starting with the air filters, they come in packs of four and in a specified Mugen or a general variant with the latter being usable with 8ight, RC8B3 and D815 vehicles. The 2-stage filters come pre-oiled and they allow for exceptional airflow and maximum engine protection. Also new are the high temperature .21 exhaust gaskets that can be used where the tuned pipe manifold attaches to the rear of the engine. The gasket is also good for tuned pipe exhaust systems to seal the connection between the pipe and the manifold.

Xray XB2 1.5mm Lexan rear wing

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 2WD buggy is an extra strong rear wing made from genuine Lexan material. The thicker 1.5mm polycarbonate material makes for increased stability, durability and lifespan of the wing and it can also improve traction due to more efficient aerodynamics, but at the same time steering might be slightly reduced. The wing fits the XB2 and all buggies with comparable wing mounts.

Exotek have introduced the Exo22SCT aluminium and carbon fibre conversion kit for the TLR22SCT and SCT 2.0.
