Exotek B6.3 heavy duty 7075 alloy diff case

From Exotek comes this heavy duty machined 7075 alloy differential case for the B6.3 & B6.2. Perfect machined roundness makes for a free spinning transmission and a must have for high powered drag racing applications and extra internal machining allows for extra fluid to be added for increased fluid capacity and life. This is much stronger than the stock plastic diff gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life.

Exotek F1 front & rear lightweight wings

Exotek Racing have produced these extra light front and rear wings for 1/10 F1 cars such as the Exotek F1 Ultra, X1 and F104 etc. The front wing is moulded nylon with a higher mounting base reducing the chance of dragging on the track and unsettling the car. At 18grams, lighter weight helps with that as well as reducing weight that overhangs past the wheels that also unsettles the car. The rear wing comes in at 21grams and has extra large wing elements for maximum aero downforce. Molded with a black lower base and white wing element for higher visibility.
