Toni Sport is great to deal with. Just email him the part numbers and ask for tax free shipping to USA. Shipping is usually close to $18 for 2~3 day shipping. I've always had great support when ordering from Tonisport.

Giving serious thought to moving over to using these:
AE Eyelets
with these
Tamiya 5mm Aluminum Ball Connectors / Hex Head
Thoughts?

The hex heads will make for quicker roll center adjustments using the ball studs.
New turnbuckle ends aren't entirely necessary. I use a punch and reamer to make holes in the stock Tamiya ones in order to fit a 2.0mm hex driver, without having to pop off the turnbuckle. It works well for me.

How did the racing go at NorCal? Apparently there was racing in Ripon yesterday, but I only heard about it second hand.

Thanks Mike!
My second race with the ExoSix and I am continuing to steadily improve my driving consistency. In the main, TQ and 2nd qualifier had breakages and I was able to obtain the lead for most of the race, but I lost it with 2 laps to go.
On our prepped parking lot track, I used an LTC 2.0 body throughout the day. The car rotated quickly and had lot of corner speed. However, I think it had too much on-power steering for me to navigate a chicane section efficiently. I needed to let off the throttle quite a bit to settle the car, losing a lot of time.
With all the inherent steering and forward drive the car already has, I think a slightly forward mounted LTC-R body would have probably dialed in the car for me.

The Exo 6 has good potential, and I hope exotek comes out with even more upgrades to the platform soon...

There are so many things Mike could make that I would buy. I'll definitely be buying the spool when he releases it. But I would also like to see a pilot shaft replacement made of brass that also uses swing shaft caps to prevent wear. Aluminum replacements for the front c-hubs would be great for durability. I use GPM but they are 6 degree hubs which I don't like.
