Exotek SRX2 direct spur mount

Exotek Racing introduce this direct spur mount for Serpent’s SRX2 series of buggies. Designed for the use in stock motor classes and oval racing, the spur mount eliminates the slipper assembly in order to make for a lighter drivetrain which improves acceleration and lowers the running temperatures of the motor. The hub assembly weights in at only 5.8g, which is almost the half of the stock slipper assembly and the design allows for easy switching between the gear hub an the stock slipper assembly when conditions call for it.

Exotek SRX2 Ti front axles & alloy shock posts

Exotek have new option parts for the Serpent SRX2 buggy available in form of titanium front axles and aluminium shock posts. First up are the Flite-series titanium front wheel axles. They are almost as strong as steel shafts but weight in at only 4.3g while the stock steel axles weight 7.6g a pair. Using the lighter shafts reduces unsprung weight as well as rotational mass resulting in quicker direction changes. Also new are the front and rear 12mm shock absorber posts. Coming in pairs the parts are machined from high-quality aluminium, they are orange anodised and offer a thicker mid section for added durability.
