Exotek D413 Pro’17 chassis & accessories

Exotek D413 Pro'17 chassis & accessories

Exotek have introduced the Pro’17 chassis kit for HB Racing’s D413 buggy as well as a range of accessories for the respective kit. Starting with the chassis, the set includes a black anodised +4mm 7075 aluminium chassis with delrin side rails that makes the buggy easier to drive on all track surfaces while also helping with easier maintenance. The machined centre chassis uses front and rear alloy back bones that bolt to the chassis and reinforces it without the need of a top plate much like other top level buggies. Raised and angled machined side rails then bolt to the chassis for improved ground clearance, debris blocking and the use of velcro for body retention. Eliminating the top plate structures makes differential access much easier and eliminates the chance of broken or cracked top plates. The added +80g of weight of the chassis lowers the centre of gravity and, while improving flex, makes the D413 faster and more consistent over a full race. The conversion includes the main chassis and side rails, alloy servo mounts, a heavy duty alloy steering crank arm, front and rear alloy centre back bones, hardware and instructions.
