Exotek Racing have introduced the Exotek 416XL, a high performance multi adjustment LiPo chassis that represents uncompromised balanced LiPo performance. With the unique CNC manufactured stainless steel weights your LiPo battery can be positioned to have equal left and right balance within grams without the need to add lead weight and without raising the battery up higher. The 2mm thick 416XL chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex. No more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut outs like in the stock chassis. The net result is much more predictable handling. A special included 3mm thick servo mount wing securely mounts your servo. Its raised design maintains the narrow chassis profile to prevent chassis scrub in corners.

Max Power in Italy have released their new touring car pipe (EFRA 2664), which now fits perfectly into the Serpent 733. The EFRA 2649 exhaust, which had a long style shape, had a excellent result at the 2009 European Championships, but was too long to fit into the new car from Serpent due to its more forward mounted engine and so the new exhaust solves this issue and yet retains the same characteristics as the longer version.
