Coming from Exotek are new option parts for the Team Associated DR10 range of drag racing cars. First up is a set of aluminium rear hubs whose heavy-duty design maintains the suspension geometry setting, race after race. The updated design works as either the left or right hub and it also allows for adjusting the wheelbase as needed using the supplied spacers. The upright ball stud mounting matches the stock roll centre height and the hubs are also usable for the DB10 and B5 series kits.

Also new is a heavy-duty steering crank set for the DR10, DB10, and B5 based Team Associated trucks and buggies. The servo ball mount is reinforced to resist bends seen in other brands cranks and the sturdy construction also gives a more direct steering feel with less steering bounce. The parts are precision-machined, polished and anodised in Team Associated blue for that factory racing look. Last but not least comes a heavy-duty carbon fibre rear body mount for the DR10. The mount moves the stock body post back 24mm to help move the body posts out of the rear window of most bodies. The extra stiff plate also reduces body flex and body bouncing for better stability while still allowing for an adjustable height by using the included hardware.
