Exotek have produced these F104 bolt-in type servo mounts. Six months of track testing have proven that these mounts are the real deal for your F104 or EXO104. Quick position changes or servo removal are achieved via 4 cupped set screws that grab the servo on both sides like a vise without tweaking the chassis or damaging the servo. It works with standard servos or lay down servos, with the latter having the option of quick Ackerman changes.

The opening round of the Danish Championship for electric touring cars, was held last weekend on an indoor large scale asphalt track, 50km outside Copenhagen in Ugerloese. The track is big and the grip is very high, due to the rubber and fuel from the large scale cars that usually drive on this track. That made it really fast for the electric cars. In the modified class the fastest lap times were just below 9,5 second, and for the Super Stock class with 13,5T motor and no speedo timing (blinky mode), the best time was 10,0 sec a lap, only .5 sec slower.
