Tekno EB48SL & SCT410 narrow wheel hubs

Tekno RC have introduced narrow wheel hubs for the EB48SL and SCT410 vehicles. The hubs are intended to be used on the EB48SL to narrow the track width and improve handling characteristics. Overall grip is increased when using these hubs, especially on tight indoor tracks. Used on the SCT410 they allow to use standard 1/8th buggy wheels on Tekno’s 1/10th 4WD short course truck for a wider selection of wheels and tyres. The hubs utilise TKR5580 stub axles and convert the SCT410 to use 17mm wheels without changing the overall track width from standard SCT wheels.
