Exotek 22 2.0 & SC6 carbon front shock towers

Exotek introduce two carbon fibre front shock towers for the TLR 22 2.0 and the Kyosho SC6 truck. Starting with the TLR part, the shock tower is made of 5mm high-quality carbon fibre and much stiffer and stronger than the original composite item resulting in a more consistent damper action. Extra machining reduces unnecessary weight while improving airflow through the shock stay at the same time. The tower fits both the 22 and newer 22 2.0. Also new and made for the Kyosho SC6 and RT6 is a 4mm front shock tower. Again made to improve shock action the part offers additional outer shock mounting holes for added tuning options while lower countersunk holes insure exact mounting and alignment which is critical for taller shock towers.

Japanese company O.S. introduce their latest competition buggy engine in the form of the B2101. Based on the experience gained with the 21XZ series the square bore/stroke engine is of a new design that allows for a more controllable bottom to mid range power, resulting in improved vehicle control. The B2101 makes use of a new crankshaft that comes with a special coating and it is tungsten balanced while a redesigned cooling head lowers the centre of gravity. The motor will not replace O.S.’s Speed 21XZ-B Spec.II as this will still be available for all drivers who seek the ultimate in bottom end power. The B2101 is set for an October release following the World Championships in Sicily.
