After showing us a prototype in October, Exotek Racing have released the production version of their Alloy LCG Chassis for the Associated SC10 4X4. It’s intended to improve the handling of the truck by lowering the CG and adding a bit of mass. You can fit standard sized Li-Po’s but a Carbon Fibre saddle pack mount is currently in development, and as promised it’s anodized in gun metal and etched with exotec logos.

Head over to the Exotek Racing website for details.

 

Exotek have posted a few pictures of a prototype work of art LCG chassis for the Associated SC10 4×4. The chassis adds 5oz to the overall weight of the truck, but this weight is low down to impove handling and grip. The pictures shown are only of a prototype but the final product, ETA 7th November, will have a hard anodized gun metal finish and will set you back around $110.

EXOtek has a couple new items for a couple high-end cars.  Their new quick change shock posts for the HB TCX and Cyclone make changing shocks quicker.  But that’s really not all.  These new pieces are lighter than the stock setup and have a shorter barrel that reduces slop in the suspension setup.

Their other release of the day is a set of titanium wheel locking bolts the TLR 22.  They’re machined out of strong, yet light, titanium, and feature an angled locking serration to keep the 22′s front wheels securely on the buggy.  Because there’s nothing worse than driving a car and then having a wheel pop off.

The list prices are $12.95/pair for the 22′s locking bolts and $28.95/set of four for the TCX Quick Change shock posts.  Check out the EXOtek website for more info.
