ProTek Surpreme Power 100C square LiPo pack

A Main Hobbies introduce the 7.4V 5600mAh 100C square LiPo hardcase battery out of their Supreme Power series of high-performance packs. The “Square” style battery pack is an option for applications that use a side by side saddle pack setup, such as 2WD buggies and stadium trucks. When compared to a saddle pack, the square design eliminates the need for a jumper wire for increased efficiency, and at the same time cleans up the charging station by eliminating cluttered charging cables. The battery pack uses 5mm bullet connectors that can be accessed from either side of the case, allowing you to position the battery terminals in the direction that best suits your application. The battery is not yet ROAR approved, but uses the same hard plastic case that is required for use at ROAR sanctioned tracks and events.

Exotek TLR 22 steering rack ver.2 set

Exotek introduce the steering rack version 2 set for the use with the TLR 22, 22T and 22SCT. The updated version features a new design that uses less parts. The compact steering assembly replaces the kit’s rail-type steering with a conventional dual ballcrank type that bolts into the stock locations of the 22 chassis. The geometry is working in perfect tandem with the front links and suspension of the 22 while the reverse mounted steering cranks matches the movement of the steering knuckles resulting in aligned angles of the steering turnbuckles when turning left and right. Bump steer can be easily changed by spacing the rack up or down and the steering link angle can be changed by adding spacers to the inboard ball ends. The inboard ball ends laydown position also helps eliminate ball cups popping off from the stock 22SCT rack. Constructed of high quality alloy with the rack and cranks made of 7075 alloy and all alloy parts anodised in polished gun metal grey.
