When the TLR 22 was originally released, it revolutionized the buggy class with never before seen innovations that brought the buggy class back to new heights with many iconic features that the rest of the industry soon incorporated. Now, with almost 2 years of testing and development, Exotek introduces this new chassis upgrade that brings the venerable 22 buggy to the forefront of mid motor clay track performance. With it's simple and efficient layout, the EXO22 offers improved weight positioning of the battery and electronics to better suit a variety of track conditions. The EXO22 chassis allows standard inline shorty battery positioning or the incredibly easy to drive fast lateral shorty battery positioning.

The EXO22 is offered with a machined 7075 alloy chassis for the most stability, traction and lowest CG and it is also offered with a carbon fiber chassis for those looking for the lightest weight and maximized responsiveness.

EXO22 7075 ALLOY CONVERSION features:

Excellent for stock or mod.
Unmatched traction and low CG thanks to the the weight optimzed 7075 alloy chassis.
3mm 7075 alloy bottom plate with 5mm carbon side rails for proper stiffness and strength.
Easy lipo access carbon lipo strap that also acts as a top plate. The lipo strap is fastened to the rear alloy brace and 2 alloys posts.
Alloy gear box brace is repositioned further back to allow improved rearward battery positioning.
Chassis allows easy switching between lateral mounted lipo and or inline mounted lipo.
Lipo strap has adjustable lipo holds to allow the battery to be shifted forward or back.
Machined 7075 alloy nose plate is used for durability and allows inexpensive chassis swaps should you chose to switch between the 7075 or carbon fiber lower chassis.
-2.5mm wheelbase for improved forward bite and rotation.
Includes machined delrin antenna mount.
Increased chassis 'footprint' allows more options for electronics placement. This also allows for proper weight balancing while maintaing a lower CG.
Carbon fiber components are specially made matte finish for improved scratch hiding and is just super trick looking!
Easily converts to the optional carbon fiber chassis via #1525 EXO22 CARBON REPLACEMENT CHASSIS.
Alloy fan mount - coming soon!
The wider than stock chassis requires the use of any body designed for the RB6 mid motor. A RB6 mid motor body provides ample battery clearance for a lateral mounted lipo, unlike any of the 22 bodies. Velcro is also required for body retention.

EXO22 CARBON CHASSIS CONVERSION features:

At 155 grams, with the hardware, the EXO22 carbon conversion is much lighter than the stock chassis and components it replaces.
2.5mm carbon fiber bottom plate with 5mm carbon side rails for proper stiffness and strength.
Easy lipo access carbon lipo strap that also acts as a top plate. The lipo strap is fastened to the rear alloy brace and 2 alloys posts.
Alloy gear box brace is repositioned further back to allow improved rearward battery positioning.
Chassis allows easy switching between lateral mounted lipo and or inline mounted lipo.
Lipo strap has adjustable lipo holds to allow the battery to be shifted forward or back.
