Ordered. I ordered the metal caster pills for the lower arm as I stripped one during assembly last week. This part is a huge deal. Just one more item on my Exotek wish list: Rear wheel adapters.

Thanks again MikeR!

Compared to the 2 cheap plastic parts it replaced, I'm trying it.

Thumbs up

Had a nice day last weekend at the 2nd round of the UF1 series. 2 EFX's finished 3rd and 4th overall at our first big race with the EFX. The cars were fantastic on the outdoor track against the best F1 guys from Socal and Nevada. We really could have/ should have done better (we were both in 1st place at certain times) but the 3rd place EFX suffered a broken ball cup in his races and my 4th place EFX had a damaged front wing that kept wanting to hook into the ground getting off power. So to end up where we did was pretty good for our first major race with the EFX and we learned a lot on it's set up and potential. Had a lot of guys nervous over our fast lap times and enquiring what is needed to buy the FGX

Weird little issues halting my build. One set of the damper pivot posts wasn't packed with the kit. I can build around it for now. Same part as the original FGX and TQ had a set in stock.

Still waiting on those rear wheel adapters.

Found the pivot posts, It is missing the servo mounts as everything else is done.

So I’ve transferred my custom arms over to the Exotek FGX special chassis. Much lighter than stock, but more importantly, more realistic. Still need some minor tweaks, but it’s going
