Exotek EX06 pro conversion chassis

Exotek have released their EX06 pro conversion chassis that turns your TA-06 into a power house that can rival the performance of any other high end car model on the market. They have taken the center battery layout of the TA-06 and tuned it for maximum performance. Some of the refinements include an extra long narrow top plate design which works the same way as high end touring cars allowing controlled flex laterally to improve overall side bite and corner speeds. The top plate is mated to an alloy front section that connects directly to the front bulkhead without any chassis posts to generate traction and to help eliminate tweak inherent in chassis post designs. An alloy front top plate section securely mounts the front pulley set for proper belt function while a new steering assembly design is not attached to the top plate just like in high end tourers to help generate front traction and to eliminate top plate tweak.

Hudy conical clutch washer springs

New from Hudy, these conical clutch washer springs offer more consistent clutch operation for maximum punch. When using the standard spring, after the clutch is set for the first time the spring becomes deformed over time and needs re-tightening. This new conical clutch washer spring set allows the clutch to retain its setting for a very long time without needing readjustment. Suitable for 1/8th and 1/10th clutches they are sold in a set of 0.4mm washers (8pcs) and 0.6mm washers (8pcs).

JQ aluminium rear hubs & soft bladders

JQ Products have released these new CNC machined aluminium rear hubs which come in gold or black and are stronger and more tunable than the stock plastic ones. The upper link holes are one row higher than on the plastic hub, so the 2nd highest row is the same as the plastic hub top row. The new top row makes THECar smoother in corners, and it seems to keep a more consistent arc around corners. Also, the hub requires 4 plastic spacers to fit in the arm, with 2 in front, and 2 behind being the stock position. This means it can be moved 2mm further forwards for even more rear traction, or backwards for high traction tracks, compared with the plastic hub. JQ have also released new soft bladders for the shocks which give THECar more traction and makes the suspension feel smoother. The shocks are also easier to build with this bladder.
