EX Lab BD7 2015 aluminium main chassis

EX Lab BD7 2015 aluminium main chassis

Excellence Laboratory or EX Lab in short is a new company specialised in designing and manufacturing premium option parts for competition touring cars. Available for pre-order now is EX Lab’s first product, a special aluminium main chassis for the Yokomo BD7 2015. Milled side sections lower the battery pack and electronics by 1mm for an overall lower centre of gravity which can reduce body roll on high-traction surfaces while making the car easier to drive at the same time. The amount of cutouts in the chassis also shifts the weight distribution towards the front for improved rear stability. Additionally the chassis helps with heat dissipation from the motor while being super rigid at the same time without sacrificing forward traction and corner speed. EX Lab will have more option parts available soon for touring cars such as Xray T4 2015 and the Awesomatix A700 Evo2. Currently EX Lab is working on their website which should be up soon.

Zen-Racing GT12 inline bellcrank conversion

Zen-Racing GT12 inline bellcrank conversion

Zen-Racing’s inline bellcrank conversion is a simple kit to convert the Zen RSGT12 to inline LiPo configuration with bellcrank steering arrangement. The bellcrank offers much more control over the Ackermann change and can improve the ability to run more lock and gain further corner speed on tight hairpins. Having the LiPo in-line will improve the change of direction but not increase the overall steering feel, this is complemented by using the bellcrank steering option.
