Exotek TLR 22 direct spur gear hub & spring retainers

Exotek Racing have new aluminium option parts for the Team Losi Racing 22 line of buggies and trucks available in the form of a direct spur gear hub and aluminium spring retainers.

Weighting in at 3.8g the part is also easily swapped for the stock slipper when conditions call for it.
