Exotek 22 5.0 titanium axle set & 38T idler gear

Two new items for the TLR 22 5.0 from Exotek, starting with this super light titanium axle set. Suitable for the VHA buggy hubs only the new axles help reduce the weight and rotating mass of your driveline for quicker acceleration. Over 40% lighter than the stock steel axles at only 4.2gr each. Next up is a hard anodised 7075 alloy 38T idler gear, a must have for high powered racing applications. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.

OfficinaRC have presented the reinterpretation of the famous alu smart shim. They have applied a laser marking on the side of the Shim in order to immediately recognise its size, saving time and making everything easier. Now you will no longer have any doubts about which size it is, at a glance you will be able to recognise the fitted size and, above all, you will no longer need a caliper. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. Sold in a package of 8 pieces per size they are available in 3x6x1mm, 3x6x1.5mm, 3x6x2.0mm, 3x6x2.5mm & 3x6x3.0mm.

Yokomo YD-2 ‘Teams’ lightweight Flex chassis set

Team Yokomo’s competition drift brand, Teams, have announced the release of their new light weight flex chassis set for the YD-2 series. The lightweight graphite main chassis plate and special lightweight battery holder provide the right amount of rigidity and traction for a more balanced and controlled feel. While the design is slim and stylish, the weight and rigidity has been carefully balanced with bold cut-outs and milling on the bottom chassis plate. The flex balance not only improves rear traction, but also the load on the front tyre, ensuring better response of the steering. The chassis is also designed to take advantage of the inherent flex of the chassis material, with separate FR/RF suspension mounts to allow for unobstructed flex. The battery holder is also compact and separate, maximising the use of the whole chassis plate and allowing the car to keep constant traction on uneven surfaces and extreme throttle input.
