For the Losi 22S Drag series Exotek have released two new items starting with these heavy duty rear hub set. The updated design works as either the left or right hub (hubs are non-directional) and also allows you to raise or lower the hub height thanks to the standard and optional hinge pin holes. The upright ball stud mounting matches the stock roll centre height and allows for easy roll centre changes by adding shims under the ball stud. Polished and anodised in black with silver highlights. Also new is these classy CNC machined wheelie wheels for the Losi 22S Drag car. The centre wheel is machined from billet 6061 while the tires are machined from delrin. Special touches like silver cuts on the wheel and our laser etched logos gives your car that factory racing look while adding a few grams of rear weight to the bar for more rear traction. Each wheel weighs 8grams and uses the stock 22S wheelie wheel bearings.
Continuing to expand their product range, MiBorg have produced these new RCV driveshafts for the Tamiya TA08 Pro. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.
