VSR Products 8ight-XE battery protector

VSR Products have announced the release of their new 3-D-printed battery protector for the TLR 8ight-XE 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. The guard covers the centre diff gear and prevents it from rubbing on the battery during heavy impacts – all while helping stop rocks and debris from getting jammed in the gear mesh. The stock screws are used to mount the guard onto the top of the centre diff top plate, however the guards is only usable with the diff gear located towards the back of the chassis. The guard is 3-D-printed with carbon fibre reinforced plastic, providing exceptional strength and longevity.

Exotek Exo-Six.2 alloy gear box set

Made for Exotek’s new Exo-Six.2 and older Exo-Six chassis conversion kits is an aluminium gear box set. The limited edition item is machined from 7075 aluminium and it provides a solid, tweak-free design that is about 8g lighter than each of the stock plastic TB05 gear boxes. Being 25 percent percent lighter than stock also means substantially lower centre of gravity for improved chassis roll. New camber mounting points are more inboard for smoother handling when running longer camber link lengths and more robust to resist breakages as in the stock plastic mounts. Additional features include a new bearing-mounted swaybar collar system and precise bearing guides for a much more free drive train versus stock. The set included a single gear box with sway bar mounting hardware and it is usable on the Exo-Six.2 and Exo-Six chassis conversion but not the Exo-Five or stock Tamiya chassis.

Exotek Exo-Six.2 TB05 chassis conversion set

Exotek have introduced their new Exo-Six.2 chassis conversion set for the Tamiya TB05 and Evo6 kits. The set transforms the stock TB05 into a high performance shaft drive terror, ideal for spec 25.5 and 21.5 motor classes. The set utilises a low profile all-alloy steering set that uses eight bearings for precision steering movement with a new 1-piece centre mount servo mount also included. The extra lightweight LCG motor plate set with centrally mounted and triangulated base ensures solid motor mounting and superb gear mesh while being independent of the top plate to reduce tweak and to provide better top plate flex traits. The new 3-piece LCG motor plate design also makes for easier pinion gear meshing and changes and easier spur gear changes. The included 2mm thick USA made premium carbon fibre chassis offers superb flex traits for rubber tyre racing with the ultra narrow chassis layout reducing chassis scrub thanks to being only 79mm wide. Motor placement is positioned on the left side of the chassis to induce better on power stability and a new one-piece, hard anodised, spur mount/input shaft eliminates most of the heavy stock TB05 centre driveline parts. The new, hard-anodised centre shaft drive cup uses plastic pucks for reduced wear and quieter drive line and a lightweight heavy duty carbon fibre centre driveshaft is also included. Other features include a LiPo cradle system with adjustable sliding holders for preferred weight balance. New LiPo tabs and posts are included to utilise both full-size and LCG 7.4V LiPo packs.
