Exotek Exo-Five Evo5/Evo5MS chassis conversion kit

Exotek have introduced the Exo-Five chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya Evo5 and Evo5MS. Although a bit outdated the Evo5 is still a desirable platform for Stock and VTA racers and with the help of the Exotek conversion the car will be 2015 ready. This chassis set is designed for stock type motors and has the opening in the top plate to work correctly with the smaller spur gears and large pinions used in 13.5T to 21.5T type blinky classes and because of this, the largest spur gear that can be used must be 34mm diameter or smaller. The conversion utilises key features such as a stiffer and ultra narrow 2.25mm chassis, a redesigned motor mount that sits on the left side of the chassis to counter torque steering, and the new one piece, hard anodised spur mount/input shaft eliminates the play and vibration of the stock unit. The new hard anodised centre shaft drive cup uses a Tamiya CVD puck for reduced wear and a quieter drive line. Also included is a new 1-piece servo mount and a trick battery mounting system that accepts standard or shorty 2S LiPo battery pack. The limited edition kit is available for pre-order now.

Features:
– 2.25mm thick USA-made premium quasi weave chassis and top plate
– Ultra narrow chassis layout for reduced chassis scrub
– New chassis mounted easy access motor plate
– Motor mount is positioned on the left side of the chassis to induce better on power stability
– The motor position has been moved further back to improve high speed steering but also low speed stability
– Slotted motor mount allows quicker and easier motor install and removal
– New one piece, hard anodised, spur mount/input shaft
– New hard anodized center shaft drive cup
– 1-piece floating alloy servo mount
– LiPO cradle system with adjustable sliding holders
– Battery holders accepts standard or shorty packs
– Battery holders uses strapping tape
– The outside of the holders uses micro bearings to hold the battery in- this allows the chassis to flex laterally naturally
– Can accept split style hinge blocks at the front rear and rear front location
