Exotek Micro-Tek conversion kit

Coming from Exotek and made for the Losi 1/24 Micro Truggy, SCTE and Rally is the 1/8th scale inspired Micro-Tek chassis conversion kit. The all-alloy construction provides increased grip with the ultra low centre of gravity design help to keep all four wheels on the ground. The 1-piece chassis design eliminates the need for extra hardware that could strip, making assembly even easier. The 100 percent machined alloy bottom plate is stiffer and stronger than the carbon fibre part in Exotek’s previous conversion and it comes in the two colour variants of red or blue. Also included are an adjustable sliding motor plate, a finned alloy motor plate, and an extra secure servo clamp-in system for the stock-sized servo. Other features include alloy mounting posts for secure stock receiver and esc mounting, and a machined-in chassis battery tray for easy and secure battery installs that uses servo tape or optional hook and loop straps. The extra heavy duty alloy chassis does not require a top plate or additional bracing and it is compatible with Exotek’s optional pinion gear cover.
