We have been closed all of last week, but our next Exotek order is being placed early this coming week and will include the TRF201 +8mm sets (as well as the new carbon battery strap, Mini 8 parts and SC10 4x4 rear hubs too that have been announced in the last 7 days), anybody from the UK looking for any of these (or any Exotek part for that matter) get in touch with your local XF UK dealer and ask them to get them on order ready for you...... UK prices on all the new items will be confirmed shortly and press releases will be sent out to all dealers, expect them to be great value for money as ever and will also appear on our website very soon too....

I just bought an Exotek TRF201 Chassis Extension directly from Exotek.
They are in San Diego, California, which is about 130 miles from my home. I should have it in my hands in about 2 or 3 days. I'll let you guys know what I think. It should be good because the TRF416 chassis conversion I bought from them is top notch! |

Received my Exotek +8 Conversion kit in the mail yesterday! Lets start by saying the workmanship behind Exotek products are second to none! These pieces look amazing! The T plate is without question alloy (as you can see by the machine marks in the pics below). The U brace is the "right" color. Which for some may not be an issue but I love Tamiya blue....so it has to be correct. Even the shock mounting extensions are alloy. Seems like a bunch of alloy for the price.
My car is going through a rebuild, but as soon as I get it back together I'll post pics. I am hoping to test this weekend. My home track is having a 2 day on-road race event....but I'm trying to pull some strings to get on the indoor off-road track for a few hours.

Looks really good, and a good place to extend the chassis: I never had the standard pieces on those spots break, it's easy to switch between wheelbase settings, but...
...I'm not too sure about the aluminium T-plate. I'm concerned it may make the chassis slightly too stiff - at least on clay - though this may find a bigger following on astroturf anyway? Also, the plastic may be more hard-wearing than aluminium. That said, I'm really interested to know about how it changes the performance of the car and how durable the parts are - one thing is for certain though, if the looks are anything to go by these parts are KILLER! |

Now, all thats left to do is install it and see the difference in handling characteristics. The car should be alot more stable in the straights and the jumps. I have no experience with Vega's conversion, but I would expect the car to behave alot like a Vega 201 in rear motor configuration, perhaps with a little bit quicker steering. Lets see what those who already have a Vega have to say... |

Nice looking parts!
Hope that the strong/stiff t-plate and extension part does´nt crack the chassi or other plastic parts. Those upper damper mount screws are looong. Will cause more stress on damper tower and screws. Might bend the screws or brake damper tower. But as said before, parts look great! |

I fitted my conversion kit today. The aluminium T-Plate is substantially stiffer that the plastic kit version, thus no need for the brace from the middle of the shock tower to the transmission.
I will be given it a run next week on a clay track - St Ives, Sydney.

Ran the car at St Ives today. Track was a bit rough and vary dusty. Very low traction. The car felt very stable though, had plenty of steering. Fun didn't last long though, 2 bad landings off the triples meant 2 broken suspension arms in 2 separate incidents. Never broken them before though! Could be that the t-plate is so much more rigid that there is no give, hence broken arms??
Need to drive more careful!
