Exotek TLR 22 Ti rear axles & CF body mount plates

Posted: 26 May 2020 11:58 AM PDT

Exotek have announced the release of new titanium rear CVA axles for the TLR 22 buggies as well as carbon fibre body mount plates for the TLR 22, Kyosho RB7, Team Associated B6 and Xray XB2 buggies. Starting with the titanium rear axles, the parts are of super light weight and usable with all 1.0 to 5.0 buggies, however they do not fit the 5.0 Elite VHA axles and hubs. The axle shafts reduce the weight and rotating mass of the driveline for quicker acceleration and they are recommended for drag racing only.

Also new are carbon fibre rear body mount plates for the TLR 22 and Kyosho RB7 as well as the Team Associated B6 and Xray XB2 series. The rear body mount plate attaches to the stock wing mounts using the stock screws and stock wing buttons. The strong 2.5mm glossy carbon fibre offers lightweight yet secure mounting of full shell bodies used in drag and oval racing. They require optional body posts such as Traxxas #TRA1914R or Duratrax #DTXC2615 or similar.
