Exotek introduce new TLR 22 & 22-4 option parts

Coming from Exotek and made for TLR’s 22 and 22-4 range of 1/10th scale buggies are several new option parts. First up is an ultra lightweight LiPo tab and post for the 22-4 wheeler. Usable for the 22-4 2.0 and 1.0 buggies, the carbon fibre tab holds normal height shorty packs securely but thanks to the simple design only weights 2.8g including the hardware. To remove the battery simply loosen the supplied screw and turn the carbon tab 180 degrees. Included in the set are also an alloy post, spacers and an M3 screw and to utilise low-profile shorty packs the spacer and screw can be replaced with self-sourced, shorter pieces. Due to the design, mounting of the body with hook and loop straps is required.
