For the Losi 22S Drag series Exotek have released two new items starting with these heavy duty rear hub set.

Also new is these classy CNC machined wheelie wheels for the Losi 22S Drag car. The centre wheel is machined from billet 6061 while the tires are machined from delrin.

MiBorg TA08 Pro RCV driveshafts

Continuing to expand their product range, MiBorg have produced these new RCV driveshafts for the Tamiya TA08 Pro. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.
