Exotek roll out new AE 6.1 series optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Team Associated 6.1 series off-road kits. First up is the Flite top shaft for the Flite spur gear mount. Made for the 6.1 series of laydown and layback transmission kit, but not for the standup transmission, the ultra light top shaft has been drilled and the teeth narrowed for increased acceleration and a cooler running motor. The top shaft teeth are 6.5mm wide which is wider than the lightweight Associated top shaft teeth which helps prolong the life of the plastic idler gear. Substantially lighter than the stock shaft and slipper assembly when combined with Exotek’s optimally available special lightened spur mount, the assembly weighs in at only 9.2g complete with hardware and 69 spur. The shaft is made in Germany and comes black anodised for wear resistance.

Bezerk 1/10th touring battery hook sets

Available for some of the most popular 1/10th electric touring cars are Bezerk’s new battery hook sets. The battery posts are located as close to the side and centre of the battery as possible to reduce the stress on the upper retaining tab while the 5mm thick battery hooks are beefy enough to take a beating and high enough to keep the battery in its place. The mounting holes are slotted to allow a small amount of left/right adjustment. The 3mm upper tabs look minimal in size but due to their placement are more than up to the task. The kits includes two battery hooks, two battery tabs and two black alloy hex standoffs. Other options include shorter standoffs for very low batteries, standard 17mm and option 15mm, and are also available in silver.
