Exotek EX14 Recoil Chassis

[Nerve]

I did a search and I couldnt find a thread posting on this,... so I figured I would add in a new thread on here.

I'm sure Kavvika and Russ have heard of this already.

Looks promising. :)

It does look nice! Hopefully this chassis will increase interest in the Recoil. It's a shame Exotek spent so much time and money on R&D only to have the car discontinued!

I hope they come out with aluminum rear hinge pin mounts soon. Seems that's the only part that breaks on these cars. My roommate, who's majoring in ME, offered to make a CAD drawing of the piece. Having a machine shop CNC the part might be more than I can afford, though.

Ooooh so those are the parts that everyone was referring to. I was thinking they were talking about the lower control arm itself for some reason..

I glued those shims to the top/lower of the mounts because I was sick and tired of having them slide and fall out on me each time I would remove the diffs. Now I just have one part that comes out. :D

This is the first I've heard of it...too cool. I wonder if the parts will be available seperately. I'd like to get the rear shock tower and the battery strap.
