Exotek XB4 9.5mm & 12mm hex wheel adapters

New from Exotek Racing come three hex wheel adapter sets for the XB4 line of Xray buggies. First up is the 9.5mm front hex set that allows the use of B44.2 style front wheels in case you wish to use an old stock of Team Associated or Losi front rims. The machined hubs come with 2mm steel pins and set screws to lock the hex in place. Designed with the same intention is the 5.5mm wide 12mm hex hub set for the front of the XB4, that helps to mount 12mm hex wheels such as the ones from Kyosho. Last but not least are 9mm wide 12mm hex hubs for Team Associated, Losi or similar wheels. All sets are available in orange or black colour.

CSO Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit

CSO introduce the Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit for the CSO-One, Team C TC10 and the Xray T4 and T4’2104. The integral part of the kit is the redesigned motor and layshaft mount that now mounts directly on the centre line of the chassis resulting in more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The updated layshaft mount sports mounting holes to connect the upper deck with the mount which helps on very high grip surfaces. An additional upper deck post can be added on front of the motor, again located directly on the chassis’ centre line. It is understood that the conversion kit includes a new chassis and topdeck as well as the motor and layshaft mount along a set of aluminium centre pulleys. There will also be a version that additionally includes front and rear aluminium suspension mounts.
