Coming from Exotek and made for the Tamiya TRF103 formula kit are and adjustable upper arm set and metric to 1/4” axle adapter set. Starting with the upper arm set, the new multi-adjustable and heavy duty CNC-machined arms allow to make quick and precise camber and caster adjustments on the fly and even without taking off the body shell. The arm set is precision machined for the smoothest arm movement and offers incrementally more adjustment abilities than the stock arms and also there will be six less stock O-rings to possibly lose and fall apart. The set includes two 7075 alloy caster adjusters, two smooth action machined delrin camber adjusters, two alloy swivel balls for upper nylon arms, four 3mm roll centre spacers, four alloy 4.8mm pivot balls, four hardened steel 3mm turnbuckles and hardware as well as four heavy duty nylon ball cups.
Coming from Xpress and made foe the Execute XQ1 and XQ1S kits is a vertical top deck set. The multi-piece top deck was designed to replace the standard top deck with a construction that will increase both forward traction and side bite in low to medium grip track conditions. Several flex features allow to adjust lateral grip by adding or removing centre stiffeners while the design also allows to connect the top deck with the motor mount stiffener post. The set includes all needed parts to perform the conversion.
