Coming from Exotek and made for the Losi 1/24 Micro Truggy, SCTE and Rally is the 1/8th scale inspired Micro-Tek chassis conversion kit. The all-alloy construction provides increased grip with the ultra low centre of gravity design help to keep all four wheels on the ground. The 1-piece chassis design eliminates the need for extra hardware that could strip, making assembly even easier.

Also included are an adjustable sliding motor plate, a finned alloy motor plate, and an extra secure servo clamp-in system for the stock-sized servo. Other features include alloy mounting posts for secure stock receiver and esc mounting, and a machined-in chassis battery tray for easy and secure battery installs that uses servo tape or optional hook and loop straps.
