Exotek Racing have produced two new items for the Losi 22S drag racer. First up is this precision pro style steering set, designed with a beefier structure and engineered to have the most precision. This is down to the robust 7075 alloy design that incorporates an additional 4 bearings to connect the steering drag link, instead of the nylon cup, which now eliminates all flex and slop. The set also includes crush sleeves that goes between the bearings which help prolong the bearings life and maintains precise fit and operation of the rack. The second new item is their ultra-light direct spur gear mount which is a machined alloy unit that weighs only 3.6gr with the screws. Using a wider range of available spur gear sizes by Exotek, Kimbrough, etc., it allows for easy switching between a locked spur or the stock slipper as track conditions warrant.
Pro-Line have introduced the first subcompact car that Ford ever produced that went on to become an iconic Pro Stock car from the ’70s in full-size racing, the 1972 Ford Pinto. To make the Pinto as scale as possible relative to Pro-Line’s other Drag Bodies, Pro-Line is launching a new subcompact drag class using the Bandit, AE SR10, or other 11.25″ wheelbase 2wd Buggies fitted with drag racing wheels and tires. This new size opens the door to bring new people into the world of drag racing using a chassis platform that many people already own. All the iconic details from the original 1972 Pinto have been faithfully recreated in 1/10 size that looks incredible with big drag tires. The front end of the body features massive undercut details including the classic hexagon-shaped headlight bezel just like the full-size car, which is only made possible with Pro-Line’s proprietary moulding technology. The body comes clear giving you the option to paint the body however you desire.
