Exotek WR8 Speed Chassis conversion & shock towers

New from Exotek and made for the HPI WR8 line of cars are the Speed Chassis conversion and the Speed Towers. Starting with the chassis, the carbon fibre conversion kit is made for the electric-powered WR8 Flux and it removes all extra weight and hardware for a super streamlined, race bred, speed run chassis. Rigid but light of weight the chassis is mated to a reinforced alloy nose plate for durability. Optimised weight balance is achieved via extra mounting holes that allow the motor and battery to be mounted at the rear of the chassis for improved rear traction and jumping balance and part of the package are also alloy battery cups for 2S or 3S hardcase batteries. The chassis is topped off with an alloy centre chassis brace and alloy servo mounts to also improve on lowering the overall centre of gravity.
