Exotek DEX210 +8mm carbon chassis set

Exotek announce their +8mm carbon chassis kit for the Team Durango DEX210 kit. The chassis is light of weight for a more nimble response and sports slightly more flex then the alloy part for increased overall grip to take advantage of the lighter weight. Included with the 2.5mm chassis plate is a 7075 alloy nose plate for longer wear and extra strength at the chassis bend, +8mm side plate extenders and mounting hardware. Machined pockets at the rear of the chassis allows the use of LRC option suspension hangers while the increased rear end surface area maintains chassis strength for mounting of the rear suspension hanger.

Avid TLR 22 slotted battery bulkhead

The TLR 22 slotted battery bulkhead from Avid allows to run never before available battery locations on the 22 platform buggies and trucks. For racers running the shorty pack, the battery can be moved forward an additional +15mm versus a fixed position of +10mm with the TLR brand aluminium tray. This super-forward position makes the rear end more predictable as grip increases. The part comes CNC-machined from aluminium, sports laser etched markings, weights 7g and it fits any TLR 22, 22T, or 22 SCT.
