Exotek have introduced their new turbine cooling triple slipper disks for the DR10 and TLR 22 top shafts for quicker slipper cool downs before the next pass. Provides added consistency due to 3 friction plates and slipper cooling via the extra heat sink fins that also spins as fan blades as the motor turns for increased air flow over the slipper plate therefore helping reduce heat glazing of the slipper pads which results in melted pads. Includes 3 high grade LCF pro style slipper pads for Octalock type Associated spur gears (gear not included). Has a small 12mm inner diameter for more surface area for improved slipper efficiency and works with the stock DR10/TLR 22 top shafts and requires AE Octalock spur gears. Also from Exotek is this new heavy duty steel top shaft replacement for the 2wd Slash based drag cars for use with DR10 slipper sets or Exotek MK #2012 #2015 slipper sets or the Exotek #1942 slipper eliminator. A 1-piece no-pin construction for maximum reliability but still weighing only 12.5gr each.
Add protection to your B6 series drag car (B6-B6.3 series) with Exotek’s heavy duty alloy, carbon fibre and foam bumper set. This bumper set may just pay for itself in your first crash. Details include a heavy duty alloy and carbon fibre mounting base that secures the extra wide high density foam bumper, the same high impact foam used in touring car racing. Inside the foam bumper are 3 alloy posts for extra secure foam bumper mounting, while the carbon plate has 2 hole positions for mounting the foam forward or back. Designed to work with most street eliminator bodies, you may opt to add extra foam layers to the front of the bumper for longer nosed bodies like the Malibu etc.

Racers have always looked to lower their car’s centre of gravity, adjust the aero package to each track and play safe when it comes to durability. Lowering the rear wing has been a popular option on many buggies, but in some cases required cutting down the kit parts and risking failure after inevitable crashes and tumbles in today’s competitive environment. RDRP’s LCG wing mount set enables racers to lower the rear wing of Team Associated’s B6 series of buggies by 5mm while ensuring their peace of mind. Machined from high quality polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic, the wing mounts offer better performance, durability and looks than grainy 3D printed parts. The set includes a lightweight carbon fibre brace that links the individual mounts to increase the lifetime of your exposed rear wing and tests have confirmed the huge potential of the LCG wing mount set.

Super easy to set and install with no need for set up tools, it uses your stock heavy duty arms! The alloy mount is machined from 7075 alloy and brilliantly polished and anodised for a factory look.
