Exotek F1 Ultra R5 carpet spec upgrades

Exotek Racing has released a number of ‘carpet spec’ upgrades for their latest 1:10 formula pan car kit the F1Ultra R5 which it launched back in March.  The Calfornia based manufacturer has added four new upgrades to adapt the car for carpet start with an Inline battery mounting set.  This provides more steering for high grip black carpet tracks and is for use with LCG shorty packs (20mm or lower) and smaller ESC’s such as the Hobbywing XR10 Stock Spec.  They have also introduced a direct to rear pod carbon fibre wing mount.  With lowered mounting and less flex it is best suited for high grip carpet tracks with Exotek highlight it is not for use on older F1 Ultras.  The F1Ultra R5 also gets a wide profile carpet shock tower with the wider shock mount geometry providing less chassis roll to maximise performance on high grip carpet.  Finally they are offering a 5.8mm machined delrin swivel ball with cup.  This offers lower friction than the alloy ball for the smoothest steering pin movement and suspension action.
