Exotek DR10 HD bulkhead & titanium CVA axles

Posted: 19 May 2020 12:56 PM PDT

Coming from Exotek are two optional parts for the Team Associated DR10 in the form of a HD front bulkhead and titanium rear CVA axles. Starting with the front bulkhead, the arm mount is machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and it comes blue anodised for looks and surface protection. The construction improves overall stability of the front suspension and it utilises grub screws to hold the suspension hinge pins in place. The part fits the DR10, DB10, B5 and similar platform Team Associated cars.

Also new are machined titanium CVA driveshaft axles for the DR10. At 3.7g over 40 percent lighter than the stock steel axles, the parts reduce weight and rotating masses of the driveline for quicker acceleration. The parts are intended for drag racing only and they come as pairs.
