Exotek Flex type chassis & servo mount holder

Exotek have released a new 2.5mm Flex type chassis set for the Exotek F1R conversion. Prototype testing has shown this new design to offer increased overall front and rear grip thanks to the flex traits of this thinner chassis material and extra rear cut out. The chassis also updates the side links to an angled geometry to increase rear pod traction. The angled links reduces link binding when the rear pod is articulated. Included is a 1mm spacer for the front to make sure the front wing does not scrape on the ground and also included is a 2.5mm rear pod plate. Also new is a 2.5mm thick carbon servo mount holder and a 3mm thick carbon u-brace for F104 series cars and some F103 cars without top plates.
