Exotek Racing DR10 options

Exotek Racing have introduced a lot of new items for the Associated DR10, starting with this lightweight 2mm carbon fibre ESC tray set. It allows for easier mounting of larger esc’s and stock esc’s in a centrally balanced location and comes with alloy posts and hardware. Next up is a heavy duty alloy servo mount that makes for easier servo install and removal thanks to the 1-piece design that will always match the chassis holes. There is also a precision machined premium titanium front axle set for the DR10. At only 4.5 grams per pair, these axles are perfect for reducing rotating mass for quicker acceleration. A rounded and angled hex profile also makes wheel installation extra quick and easy. Finally there is a hard anodised 7075 alloy idler gear for the DR10. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.
