JConcepts TLR 22 front axle conversion

JConcepts introduce the front axle conversion for the TLR 22 line of vehicles. A critical point of the conversion revolves around the front axle and surrounding geometry with the goal to convert the front axle to a more user friendly design. The conversion includes two front high-grade steel axles with incorporated wheel hex and threaded shaft allowing the use a traditional 4mm lock-nut instead of the stock screw type design. A low-profile, aluminium 4mm locknut has been included which features an inner serrated surface which grips the wheel when tightened for locking security. This design can easily be installed on the 22 buggy line of vehicles including the newly released TLR 22 2.0.

New from Exotek Racing come several aluminium option parts for the Xray XB4 buggy in the form of rear hubs, servo and wing mounts. Starting with the rear hubs, the parts are machined from 7075 aluminium and sport vertical camber ball stud mounting positions for easy roll centre adjustments using different thickness shims. Included with the parts that come in orange or black colour are 2mm spacers to match the stock geometry of the kit’s plastic hubs. Next up are aluminium servo mounts, again machined from 7075 aluminium. The parts offer higher rigidity and sport a lightweight design and come in orange or black colour. Last but not least are the aluminium wing mounts. They are of a heavy duty design and add a huge amount of durability while being light of weight at the same time.
