I own both an Exo 6 and A700. Both similar feel but I've had less time with the A700 before chucking it on a track to race. Biggest pro of the A700 is the steel pinion/crown gears but running in 21.5 action you should be fine with the carbon plastic gears in the 6.

But both cars, like any, really come down to setup.

I’ve owned 3 Exo-sixes and I have 2 A700’s.

The Exo’s are great cars and are rock solid and competitive.

I personally prefer the A700 in VTA. The rotation from the AX cars is second to none.

I modified one of my Exo’s to incorporate active rear toe and it was very close in rotation to the AX but I still preferred the A700.

The A700 is an engineering masterpiece and requires a LOT of care between races to ensure your camber/castor doesn’t change. The Exo six was a robust tank that delivered results without much maintenance.

Can’t go wrong with either car.

Am still using the original shocks coming with TB-Evo 6. Wonder if the new shock towers will work with those shocks. If not, which pair should I get to work then? Much thanks!

Hi,

I was going to order them, but I have just read on the website they are not compatible with the standard evo 6 chassis.

This is really surprising since the exo 6 works with the standard gearbox.

What makes them incompatible and tis here a way to overcome this limitation?

Thanks,
Ale

You may have a point but I no longer have the EVO6 to test it on sorry.

I think it's because the integrated posts raise the top deck by 2mm. Maybe you could get away with it if you place shims under the connection points to the central gearbox?

The rear central gear box is not attached to the top deck. So there should be no problem at all.
In my oppinion it should fit the original Evo6.

Btw. are there gear covers planed for the exo alu bulkheads?

Greetings Rainer

I was selling my for around 350 (no longer selling) but you can find them for as low as 250. For some reason they don't have really good resale.
