Coming from Exotek and made for the Exo-Six conversion kit is a new aluminium main chassis plate. Cut from 7075 material and coming black anodised and laser-etched the highly machined part is of a complex design to retain stiffer chassis flex traits than the carbon fibre chassis while being 23g heavier to insure the lowest possible centre of gravity for carpet racing. Despite being stiffer the chassis is also good for the use on asphalt.
