Exotek roll out new 22T & 22-4 option parts

Coming soon from Exotek are new option parts for the TLR 22T and 22-4 series of trucks and buggies. First up is a 4mm front shock tower for all 22T series stadium trucks. Machined from lightweight USA-made carbon fibre the shock stay weighs in at only 12g, scrubbing nearly 3g of weight. The tower is a heavy duty construction with a factory look and a more robust material than the stock plastic for consistent handling on high grip tracks. The part is designed with reinforced profiles along the mounting holes for added strength and it includes hardware to mount the stock body posts. The tower fits all 22T series trucks but not the 22SCT.

RPM Traxxas VXL-3S ESC cage

RPM have introduced a new ESC cage for the #3355R version of the Traxxas VXL-3S speed controller. The mounting tabs have been reported to RPM as weak and this is why the RPM part eliminates the use of the two mounting tabs on the ESC in favour of a complete cage system that solidly locks the ESC in place. By completely surrounding and capturing the VXL-3S speedo, damage from broken tabs and ejection from the vehicle has been completely eliminated and the cage works perfectly even if one or both mounting tabs on the ESC have already been broken or cut off. Each RPM ESC cage, that is available in black or blue colour, is made from a strong, ultra lightweight blend of engineering grade nylons for exceptional durability.

RPM T-Maxx/E-Maxx HD rear bumper

RPM have introduced a new heavy duty rear bumper for the Traxxas T-Maxx and E-Maxx monster trucks. The newest version of the bumper is designed to allow the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar, yet beef up the protection of the rear end of the truck dramatically. The designers have strengthened the supports around the screw holes and extended both the height and width of the bumper for exceptional performance and protection for the rear of the truck. The unique design also adds an aggressive rear-end profile. The bumper is available in black or blue to match or contrast any paint scheme and each bumper is moulded in RPM’s world-renowned blend of engineering-grade nylons.
