Exotek XR3 Xray T3 LiPo chassis

Exotek Racing have introduced the Exotek XR3, Xray T3 conversion. This no holds barred multi-adjustment LiPo chassis features unique CNC manufactured stainless steel weights allowing your LiPo battery to be positioned to have equal left and right balance without the need to add lead weight and without raising the battery up higher. The XR3 chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex resulting in much more predictable handling. Removing the 6 NiMh battery slots effectively stiffens the chassis so they have had to reduce the thickness to 2mm to put a little flex back into the chassis for improved traction. The chassis has also been narrowed to 91mm wide, for less chassis scrub through corners for better corner speed. Featuring a multitude of battery mounting options, it accepts 7.4 volt flat bottom LiPos such as Thunder Power 5000, Intellect IB, Orion Platinum Series or similar sized LiPo batteries.

Serpent 966 Link system

Seen at the World Championships last year, as well as other races, the new Serpent link system for their 966 chassis is now available. Consisting of 2 trackrods that connect the radio plate to the radio plate bracket, this allows the two parts, which were previously fixed together, to move separately of each other which allows the user to create and control the flex in the car. This upgrade requires that you have the latest radio plate bracket in which the required hole in the X shape has already been created, however it is a simple modification for those that don’t have this. Available at the end of April.
