Exotek Racing 22S pro steering set & slipper eliminator

Posted: 23 Jul 2021 01:23 AM PDT

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.

JConcepts RM2 Hard 2.2″ Inserts

Posted: 22 Jul 2021 03:25 PM PDT

JConcepts have released the new RM2 hard density closed cell inserts. Black in colour, the new inserts are designed in conjunction with insert guru’s Ryan Maifield, Spencer Rivkin, Jason Ruona, and Paul Wynn to bring a firmer touch and feel while providing durability. The 2wd / 4wd rear insert and 4wd front insert has a smooth exterior for a clean and firm touch-off against the inside carcass on an assortment of tires. The inside of the insert has horizontal channels cut in a 360 pattern to soak up the large impacts and help create forward bite and increase acceleration. The JConcepts design, with custom sculpted features, are blended into the newly developed high density material providing racers a durable option capable of being used in treaded or slick off-road tires in extremely high-traction conditions.
