Exotek Yeti HDX aluminium chassis set

Coming from Exotek and made for the Axial Yeti 1/10th scale rock racer is the new HDX aluminium chassis set. The heavy duty 7075 alloy chassis will transform any project truck into a true trail dominator. The hard-anodised billet 7075 machined chassis adds about 55 grams of weight to the lowest part of the truck which dramatically lowers the centre of gravity which means less roll overs and increased traction over all terrains. Key design features include a 12mm narrower chassis width and smoothed bottom surface for reduced chassis snagging of terrain. The smooth inner chassis and open rear chassis design makes for less debris collecting and easier clean up after hitting the trail and a separate nose plate makes for easier maintenance. Carbon fibre upper plates add that factory racing look while lightweight, super adjustable and also more secure hook and loop battery straps hold the battery tight. Integrated, machined rear suspension link mounting directly to the chassis helps with precision and durability and a lowered ESC position and alloy servo mounts increase the truck’s performance. Not included in the conversion is the needed Axial 1/10th scale Yeti donor truck.

Raceform EB410 wing raiser with diffusor

Coming from Raceform and made for Tekno RC’s EB410 buggy is a high wing mount with under wing diffusor. The translucent part was designed to raise the somewhat low wing mounting area of the buggy to make it usable for most aftermarket wings as it allows for enough clearance for the tyres even under full suspension compression. In addition its design with an integrated under-wing diffusor will create additional downforce which can be beneficial on low-grip tracks or when additional stability in high speed corning is needed. The mount is CNC machined from high-compact polycarbonate, at 8 grams it is both lightweight and strong and its larger surface area also improved wing life.
