Exotek Racing WR8 Flux speed chassis conversion

Exotek Racing have announced the release of a high speed carbon fibre chassis conversion set for the HPI WR8 Flux Gymkhana 1/8 4WD rally car. The extra light weight conversion that removes all of the unneeded parts and hardware that transforms the WR8 into a super streamlined and race worthy performance chassis, scrubbing about 220g of weight compared to the stock set up. The rigid but very light weight carbon fibre chassis is mated to a reinforced alloy nose plate for durability and the optimised weight balance via extra mounting holes allows the motor and battery to be mounted at the rear of the chassis for improved rear traction and jumping balance. Alloy battery cups are multi-positioned to allow front or rear and left or right weight balance which is great for 2S or 3sS battery positioning using hard case batteries. Finally, the chassis is topped off with an alloy centre chassis brace and alloy servo mounts to also improve on lowering the overall centre of gravity.

Pro-Line introduce new Wedge & Prism 1/10 buggy tyres

Pro-Line have announced the release of three new carpet and astro turf tyres for 1/10th scale buggies. First up is the Wedge LP 4WD front tyre that uses the popular Wedge tread that provides lots of steering without being too grabby while the lower profile tyre shape provides better corner speed and faster lap times. The tyre is also more user-friendly because it doesn’t require any hand trimming of pins for optimum performance. The overall size of the low-profile 4WD front Wedge is a better match to Pro-Line’s new low-profile Prism 2.0 and Pyramid rear tyres so drivers don’t have to worry about unequal tyre runout front to rear.
