Exotek B5 & SRX-2 aluminium topshafts

New from Exotek come aluminium topshafts for the Team Associated B5 and the Serpent SRX-2 2WD buggy. The B5 shaft weights in at around 5g and is 8.5g lighter than the stock shaft while the SRX-2 part scrubs around 6.4g of weight. The lighter weight makes for less rotation mass in the drivetrain, quicker spool-up and better braking resulting in an overall improved transmission performance. The shafts come hard-anodised, polished and are a drop-fit solution.
