It also boasts 200 degree Celsius wire that allows to charge at higher amps if desired and at 2 feet long it allows to charge out of the way to keep the pit area clean. The harness also features extra length added to the most common XH balance plug which allows to reach the balance port without putting added stress on the wires.

Exotek Exo22 TLR 22 mid motor chassis sets

Coming from Exotek and made for the TLR 22 and 22 2.0 are two new mid motor chassis sets. Available in an aluminium and a carbon fibre variant the chassis allows for a range of battery layouts including the standard inline and a new lateral shorty position with the latter making the car easy to drive fast. The 3mm 7075 aluminium chassis variant will offer the most stability, traction and the lowest centre of gravity while the carbon fibre variant is very light of weight and very responsive. Both sets make use of new 5mm carbon side rails, they utilise a special easy access carbon fibre LiPo battery mount and the alloy gearbox brace is positioned further back to allow improved rearward battery positioning. The included, machined 7075 alloy nose plate is used for durability reasons and allows inexpensive chassis swaps between alloy and carbon fibre. Due to the larger footprint chassis the conversion requires a Kyosho RB6 compatible bodyshell for better battery clearance.
