Exotek FX10 Formula Ten conversion

Exotek Racing have released the FX10, a high performance, super lightweight chassis conversion that takes the HPI Formula 10 to the next level. The carbon fibre one-piece top deck helps reduce tweak and allows just enough flex to maintain proper traction, while the narrowed chassis reduces chassis scrub for better handling and more corner speeds yet plenty of room to mount electronics. The new parts allows for more LiPo battery options by accepting round or square type flat bottomed 7.4v packs including Thunder Power, IB and Orion, with a max battery size of 47mm wide, 24mm tall, 137mm long. A modular battery strap design gives secure battery mounting but also quick and easy battery access. Other features include the pan car type tweak screw adjustment feature and the carbon fibre front arm brace and the set includes the orange anodized battery posts, gun metal spacers and necessary alloy steel hardware.
