Exotek F1 UltraR5 Hard Anodised Machined Alloy Chassis

New from California based manufacturer Exotek Racing comes this hard anodised 7075 machined alloy chassis for their F1Ultra R5 and CW series 1:10 Formula chassis. Thanks to its slight weight increase, long wheelbase and stiffer feel over the carbon chassis, it helps produce excellent handling in all conditions- whether loose asphalt or high grip carpet. This chassis greatly reduces the centre of gravity for reduced chassis roll for greater corner speeds and an improved ‘balanced feel’ at any track versus a carbon chassis. Designed for use as inline or transverse shorty battery placements, inline carbon fibre battery guides are included with a Battery Tray required for transverse battery mounting. Weighing 75-grams compared to the Stock R5 carbon chassis at 49-grams, the hard anodised chassis is 2.5mm thick in the main sections and 2mm thick in the center cut section.

Team Bomber HQ lightweight clamp hub

1:12 specialists Team Bomber from Japan has released this new HQ lightweight clamp hub for its AK12 series chassis. Designed to lighten the drive system and improve the rotation accuracy directly linked to driving performance, they are made from high-strength, high-quality 7075 aluminium material. The design uses waste-free materials and is approximately 30% lighter (about 3g → 2g) compared to standard products. Additionally, they use a counterweight shape that optimises rotational balance, making for a smooth high precision rotation. This makes the cars’s movement a whole lot sharper and reduces traction loss during cornering. This provides a solid advantage, especially for stock class users looking to harness limited power. Also, the bis in the clamp section, which contributes to the lighter weight, was changed from the traditional M2.5 to the M2 bis. For concerns about torque shortage due to small diameter, adopting a high-strength specialised steel plated small head cap bisque ensures reliable tightening torque, and you don’t have to worry about loosening.
