From Exotek is their new turbine cooling triple slipper disks for the Losi 22S top shafts for quicker slipper cool downs before the next pass. Provides added consistency due to 3 friction plates and slipper cooling via the extra heat sink fins that also spins as fan blades as the motor turns for increased air flow over the slipper plate therefore helping reduce heat glazing of the slipper pads which results in melted pads. The set includes 3 high grade LCF pro style slipper pads for Octalock type Exotek or Associated spur gears (gear not included). The slipper pads have a small 12mm inner slipper diameter for more surface area for improved slipper efficiency. For this set Exotek also offer high performance machined POM (delrin) spur gears that uses Associated style octalock type spurs and slipper pads. Available in 84T & 81T, the spur gears are 100% machined POM to insure true roundness and are much stiffer and truer than moulded nylon spur gears.

Ruddog’s 35mm aluminium HV high speed cooling fan RP-0258 closes the gap between traditional 30 mm and 40 mm fans. Providing a good compromise between air flow and a low centre of gravity, it is the perfect choice for applications with a focus on overall performance with only a small space available, for example 1/10th scale touring cars and 4WD buggies. The aluminium housing shares the rounded and countersunk design with the 30 mm and 40 mm fans RP-254 and RP-255 for a long lifetime and small installation dimensions.
