Exotek have released a number of new options for the Team Associated B6.3-B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 series. First up is this stealthy 2 colour anodised alloy steering rack sporting a customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents which goes great with the stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. And the alloy construction insures precise steering input and heavy duty long lasting performance. Also new, in the same style is this motor heatsink, that helps reduce your motor temps while the built in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 11 grams each. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. Next up is a pair of steering cranks in the same style anodised black and blue, which are stronger than the stock plastic part and offer more precision. Finally are this pair of titanium front axles, which at only 4.5 grams per pair, are lightweight but also stronger than the stock alloy pieces. Rounded and angled hex profile makes wheel installation extra quick and easy.
From Exotek comes this heavy duty 7075 alloy rear suspension mount (D) for the DR10 DB10 line of vehicles. The stronger construction insures race after race, even after hard impacts, so that you drive more and wrench less. Tapered hinge pin opening insures easier installation and maintains the stock geometry and toe in.
