SMJ Front Fender Stiffeners

Japanese company SMJ has released these front fender stiffeners for touring car body shells. The stiffener plate increases the rigidity of the front fender (front wheel arch), which greatly affects the steering characteristics of a touring car body, and also prevents body damage due to contact between the tires and the body. The teflon tape applied to the surface minimises resistance when it comes in contact with the tire, allowing for smooth cornering without stalling. It is especially recommended for ultra-lightweight bodies.

Exotek V2 Pro wheelie bar

Exotek Racing has released Version 2 of their popular Pro wheelie bar sets for the DR10M and Team Associated’s B6.4 B6.3 series with a version for TLR’s 22 5.0 on the way. The extra long 3mm thick carbon fibre wheelie bar can extend to 14.5″ long. The set includes heavy duty machined titanium turnbuckle that controls the height and angle of the bar and a new heavy duty alloy mounting base. The wheelie bar is now hinged for easier height adjustments and allows for the use of a single optional shock (coming soon) in place of the turnbuckle to create a ‘suspension’ bar. A new updated double bearing alloy wheel holds in the new wider and stronger foam tire. The new caged mounting plate protects the tire and wheel and insures straight line performance.
