Exotek Racing GXR ABC Hobby Genetic converison

Exotek Racing GXR ABC Hobby Genetic converison

New from Exotek Racing for the ABC Hobby Genetic chassis is this high performance, super narrow and lightweight chassis conversion called GXR. The new setup allows for more LiPo battery options, accepting round or square type flat bottomed 7.4v LiPo packs including Thunder Power, IB and Orion. The narrowed carbon fibre chassis reduces chassis scrub for better handling and more corner speeds yet plenty of room to mount electronics, while the narrow carbon fibre 1 piece top deck reduces tweak and allows just enough flex to increase overall traction.
