Exotek XB2 Dirt Edition Flite motor plate

Exotek have introduced the Flite aluminium motor plate for the Xray XB2 Dirt Edition buggy. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the motor plate’s vented design allows to reduce motor and slipper temperatures while also looking the part. The extra machining also reduces weight and lowers the centre of gravity without weakening the critical motor mounting areas, making for solid motor mounting and gear mesh.

Kimihiko-Yano.net Xti-WC aluminium chassis

Japanese CRC distributors Kimihiko-Yano.net have introduced an aluminium chassis for the CRC Xti-WC 1/12th scale pan car. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the chassis is about 20g heavier than the standard carbon fibre chassis for an overall lower centre of gravity. This and the increased stiffness will result in improved performance especially on high-bite surfaces with the chassis having already proved its capabilities by taking the TQ and win at this year’s All Japan Championships in the hands of Hayato Ishioka.
