Exotek TLR 22-4 13.5 spec centre spool set

Coming from Exotek and made for the TLR 22-4 2.0 1/10th 4WD buggy is a 13.5 spec centre spool set. The super light slipper lock-out conversion greatly reduces the rotating mass of the 22-4 drive line for improved acceleration and lower motor temps which is needed in the very competitive 13.5 spec classes. The complete stock slipper assembly weighs in at 32g while the complete Exotek spool is only 19.7g. The axle is made of titanium to reduce weight but maintain durability and the locking plates are lightened polished aluminium. These eliminates the heavy steel shaft, slipper pads, springs and plates all while using the TLR spur gears and pulleys for easy replacement when needed. Due to the lightweight nature of the conversion it is recommended for 13.5T and 17.5T motors.

It features PSM’s unique double stacked rip machining for cool looks and a lower weight. The 4mm rear variant was developed to simplify vehicle setup while improving traction characteristics and it also spots a double stacked rib design. Both shock towers are available separately from now on.

Infinity IF14 aluminium CVD drive shaft set

Infinity has released a new lightweight CVD rear drive shaft set for its IF14 electric touring car. The set is made up of new axle shafts that are made from an improved super hard heavy duty steel material. This has allowed grinding of the axle shafts to the extreme limit to achieve the lightest weight possible. Further reducing the CVD’s overall weight, the drive shaft are made from Japanese 7075-T6 aluminium featuring a black anodised finish and engraved with the Infinity logo. High precision finishing of all components that make up the CVD set ensures smooth operation eliminating any play and making for improved corner speed and throttle response. An M3 set screw is used for simple assembly of the universal joint.
