Exotek DEX210 motor plate & DETC410 diff cams

New from Exotek come two aluminium option parts for the Team Durango DEX410 and DETC410 kits. First up is the Flite vented motor plate for Team Durango’s 2WD buggy. The 100 percent CNC-machined vented motor plate keeps the motor running cooler and longer for that extra edge. Aggressive cut-outs allow the heat that builds up inside the gear cover to vent out thus lowering overall motor temps greatly. The extra machining reduces the weight down to 16g, making the plate over 5g lighter than stock, but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to maintain solid motor mounting and gear mesh. The plate is available in gold or black anodising and it easily mounts as MM3 or MM4 configuration with the Exotek logos laser etched on both sides of the plate.

Xray XB4 12 degree aluminium C-hubs

Xray introduce 12 degree aluminium C-hubs for the XB4 line of off-road buggies. The parts are machined from high-quality 7075 alloy material, they come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification. The pre-set 12 degree castor setting is ideal for high traction conditions, it increases corner exit steering while the aluminium material makes for less flex and added overall rigidity.

Reds Racing introduce the all-new R5T Team Edition V3.0 nitro buggy engine. It is derived from the well-known R5T Team Edition v.2 and used by most of Reds Racing’s team drivers such as Cody King, Elliott Boots, Joseph Quagraine, Cole Ogden and others. The engine comes with the revolutionary HCX horizontal carburettor that guarantees higher idle stability, more precise tuning, easier access to high speed needle and higher mid/top range power. Furthermore, the engine comes with a special, red anodised cooling head. On top of that the R5T Team Edition features a front ball bearing with improved sealing and better durability, a redesigned crankcase with wider fins close to the exhaust for better cooling and the power plant also comes with a new combustion chamber insert and cooling head. The R5T Team Edition is hand-tuned by Mario Rossi and comes with a silicone-filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft, rear ceramic bearing, RDC hard-coated backplate, and 5-port sleeve with exhaust port booster. Before leaving the factory the engines are hand inspected and compression checked by Mario Rossi for maximum performance.
