Exotek roll out new XB4 & XB2 option parts

Exotek have introduced new option parts for the Xray XB4, XB2 and XT2 kits. First up is the Flite 72T centre spool set for stock class racing with the XB4 4WD buggy.

The Exotek spool set weighs 18g with the spur gear and the included coated hard steel outdrive cups. The machined 72T POM spur gear is included and bolts on to the lightweight alloy spool.

Fenix X1 & Mistral brass lower pod plates

Coming from Fenix are new brass lower pod plates for the Xray X1 and Fenix Mistral 1/10th formula pan cars. The parts were specifically developed for low traction conditions or when running tyres with limited traction as the added rear end weight will greatly improve tyre bite and drivability. The plates are direct fits and have the advantage of lowering the centre of gravity compared to just adding weight in the form of brass motor plates or lead weights. The X1 pod plate weighs in at 36g while the Mistral-specific plate adds 41g. Both are up for grabs now.
