Exotek TLR22 steering rack conversion set

Exotek have released this new steering rack conversion set for the TLR22, 22SCT and 22T. Featuring an all new CNC machined design with bearings and steel bushings for reliable steering and precise track performance, this design was carried over from Exotek’s popular parts for other buggy models and is surprisingly compact and efficient on the 22. The conversion bolts into the stock locations of the 22 chassis with ease and uses all of the stock hardware. The geometry is spot on with the steering rack working in perfect tandem with the front links and suspension of the 22, while the reverse mounted steering cranks matches the movement of the steering knuckles resulting in aligned angles of the steering turnbuckles when turning left and right. Bump steer can be easily changed by spacing the rack up or down and the steering link angle can be changed by adding spacers to the inboard ball ends. The inboard ball ends laydown position also helps eliminate the dreaded ball cup pop off’s of the 22SCT. For proper clearance of the steering rack new heavy duty servo mounts are included so that the servo is positioned 6mm further back.

LeeSpeed 84 pitch spur gears & pinions

Leespeed 84 pitch spur gears & pinions

LeeSpeed Racing Design have introduced a new generation of 84 pitch spur gears and titanium pinions, available for any EP touring cars. The claimed benefit of 84 pitch is that it is quiet, improves acceleration timing and braking consistency due to more engagement of teeth, which translates to better and faster lap times. For the very same reason, it also will provide constant feedback to drivers throttle response due to a more refined gear ratio. They are available in a range of 118T up to 157T for spur gear and 30T up to 60T for titanium pinion while suitable for stock to modified, non-turbo to turbo.

Reflex Racing T4 spring set & fan mount

Reflex Racing have released a number of new items for the Xray T4, first of which is their carpet linear spring set. This set is comprised of springs that are more linear in nature than their asphalt spring set, yet still posses very nice road compliance and feel. Oversized in diameter by 0.5mm it allows for more consistent handling on carpet tracks and yield more steering and corner speed. The set includes 4 pairs of springs, Orange (16.7lb), Pink (15.1lb), Blue (14.8lb) and Black (13.5lb). Next up are these carbon fibre wing holders, which are a great way to secure your TC’s wing much more securely. They are especially effective with light weight bodies where the wings are a bit flimsy. Lastly there is this all new T4 universal fan mount. The fan mount installs on the chassis hole behind or in front of the motor and works with most 25, 30, 35 and 40mm fans and is designed to be held in place by only one screw on the chassis and one screw on the mount.
