Exotek roll out new X1 & F6 optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Xray X1 and Team Associated F6 formula car kits. First up is a rear carbon fibre spool axle, usable on the X1 and F6. The extra lightweight carbon fibre and 7075 aluminium clamping spool set utilises a 1/4” rear axle design such as for the X1, F6 and also the Roche cars. The spool helps eliminate “diffing out” of the rear pod on extra high grip black carpet conditions and gives the car more corner exit speeds. The spool also greatly reduces the weight compared to a gear diff or standard ball diff for a cooler running motor and increased acceleration. The sturdy design eliminates any holes in the shaft for increased shaft durability and the spur gear mount keys directly into the supplied right side wheel clamp and makes for easier gear swaps as well. Also the right side wheel clamp uses 2-screws-style clamping which requires less force on the screws for better clamping force. The conversion requires a standard pan car ball diff type spur gear and the standard left side clamping hub.
