Exotek Racing have released the EXO103 this high performance, lightweight chassis for the F103 based on the highly successful EXO104 link chassis. Inline battery mounting, 265mm wheelbase and a floating rear pod all translates into a potent platform for high power applications. Using actual components from the World Champion Yokomo 1/12th they have re-engineered the rear pod into a 2 link floating rear pod for superior rear traction and stability. The set includes a VCS through shaft center oil shock to perform tweak free side dampening, a carbon fiber 1 piece top deck to reduce tweak and allows just enough flex to maintain proper traction. A pan car type tweak screw and side spring adjustment feature help properly balance the rear pod and provide super smooth suspension action.
