Exotek alloy LCG center chassis for SC10 4×4

Exotek have released this new machined alloy LCG center chassis for the SC10 4×4. The main complaints with the stock SC10 4×4 is that the truck has a high center of gravity that causes the truck to easily traction roll in high grip conditions, is too light which causes it to lose out in door banging when running against heavier trucks and does not feel as stable as the heavier Losi trucks. This new chassis adds over 5oz to your truck and mostly at the lowest part of the truck, the main chassis for a more sure footed, planted feel. Track testers are reporting a much smoother easier to drive truck that stays absolutely planted at high and low speeds and jumps and lands much more easily without the erratic feeling of the stock truck. Machined from 100% billet it has a hard anodized gun metal finish and laser etched Exotek logos. A stiffer center section will help eliminate the reports of the belt from coming off of the front pulley due to the flex of the stock chassis.

TLR 8ight Gen III radio tray

Seen in various forms for the past few months, TLR has announced the new Gen III radio tray for the line of 8ight vehicles. The radio tray is a drop in replacement in all 8ight vehicles with many improved features. The key features of the radio tray are improved weight distribution and adjustability with the throttle servo relocation improving servo life by moving the servo away from engine vibration which can potentially reduce servo life. A ball bearing throttle linkage creates a precise throttle feel while molded index points improves accuracy with linkage alignment. Furthermore a switch relocation improves ON/OFF switch access and a metal J-Nut secured battery box increases radio tray life during chassis flex. Available in early December.
