Exotek Evo5 Pro chassis conversion

Exotek Racing introduce a limited edition conversion kit for the Tamiya Evo5 and Evo5 MS chassis. The kit is specially designed for the use with stock motors and has an opening in the top plate to work correctly with just smaller spur gears and large pinions used in 13.5T to 21.5T type blinky classes. Because of this the largest spur gear that can be used must be 34mm diameter or smaller. Larger spur gears are usable by adding shims under the top plate to raise it up. The kit brings the somewhat older Evo5 to latest 2013 specs with inclusion of an ultra narrow 84mm chassis made from 2mm carbon fibre. Also included is a flex top plate for rubber tire racing, a LiPo cradle system with adjustable sliding holders, tapeless yet tweak free LiPo locking tabs and a hanging low-profile servo mount to reduce chassis scrub. The top plate is drilled to accept Evo5 and Evo5 MS motor mounts. The kit is designed for the experienced racer and limited to 60 pieces world wide.
