Default Akula Racing DEX210 Parts

We've just received our first prototype front and rear shock towers - a steering bridge and battery strap will be arriving some time next week.

One minor snag is that we don't have any drivers to test them (our usual test drivers haven't bothered to finished their cars yet... ), so if you are around Milton Keynes, are going to be running your DEX210 this weekend and fancy testing a set please e-mail me at [email protected] or drop me a PM

Prototype parts have now been signed off and are currently in production, expected availability is next week (week commencing the 7th November).

The front tower has had an additional row of camber link holes added to the inside, allowing a longer front link than the kit tower.

We will also have a carbon fibre steering link with three different Ackerman positions and a battery strap engraved with 'DEX210'

All these parts are made with the highest quality, full fat carbon fibre - no glass fibre composites have been used in these parts.

Prices will be as follows;

AKR-210-CF00742 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Front Shock Tower = £11.50
AKR-210-CF00842 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Rear Shock Tower = £13.50
AKR-210-CF00930 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Steering Plate = £6.00
AKR-210-CF01020 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Battery Strap = £13.50

Battery strap price will go up as soon as we've got the final costs sorted out - should be in the next day or so.

To order e-mail [email protected] or drop me a PM. Alternatively contact Matt at Telstar Racing (mattybucks on here or via www.telstar-racing.co.uk) as he will recieve stock from the first batch.

For any other trade enquiries please contact us via [email protected]

Prices above have been updated with the cost for the battery strap.

Already had some enquiries from overseas, so if you live outside of the EU then we don't have to charge you VAT which makes the parts even better value - see below!

AKR-210-CF00742 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Front Shock Tower = £9.58
AKR-210-CF00842 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Rear Shock Tower = £11.25
AKR-210-CF00930 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Steering Plate = £5.00
AKR-210-CF01020 - DEX210 Carbon Fibre Battery Strap = £11.25

The steering link and battery strap will be arriving with us today, and the front and rear towers will be arriving tomorrow morning. Updated photos will be uploaded as soon as we get the chance.

Anyone who has pre-ordered and paid for parts will have them shipped immediately the parts arrive with us.

To order any of the parts either drop me a PM or e-mail [email protected]

You get the set up matty? If so I just can't find it on your site.

Some pics of the battery strap would be great, as I have just modded mine to tamiya mounts so now I can use body clips, real cheap and easy.
