Exotek Sprint SPX Pro chassis set

Exotek Racing have produced this carbon fibre Pro chassis conversion for the Sprint2 Flux, Sprint2 Drift and Sprint.

The new design also has open diff access at the bottom of the chassis to eject road debris helping prevent damage to the front and rear belts. Designed to still flex enough to help generate stability but stiff enough for responsiveness its narrow design offers improved cornering, less chassis scrub on the sides which helps improve traction while cornering.
