JConcepts Chasers 4.0″ 1/8th truck tyres

JConcepts Chasers 4.0" 1/8th truck tyres

JConcept’s Chasers tyre is now also available in a 4.0″ 1/8th scale truck version. The Chasers rely on hefty, medium lugs which are angular in multiple directions. The horizontal type tread has a striking similarity to the trusty Crossbow but with a lower, closer lug arrangement which gives responsiveness and bites in medium, high and low grip conditions. The wet and dry condition tyre has small recessed cuts in the top of the tread for extra edges and increased formability over terrain. The centre overlapping bar treatment increases durability in the highest wear region of the tyre. The Chasers are available in a range of compounds, including Dirt-Tech inserts and also pre-mounted on white or yellow wheels.

Tekno NT48.3 1/8th nitro truggy kit

The latest in the line of Tekno’s .3 vehicles is the NT48.3 nitro truggy kit. Designed to be faster, nimbler and easier to drive, the truck is based on a new chassis with eliminated rear engine configuration for optimised handling and flex characteristics of the front engine layout. This also improves the gear mesh between the clutch bell and new 46t spur gear and also helped to calm the rear of the car. Also new are larger, fully CNC machined, hardened, and ground discs to replace the old parts. Improved semi-metallic brake pads are now separated by springs to ensure the brakes are only engaged when the driver want them to be. The biggest change made to the brakes however, is with the linkage for better consistency and easier brake bias adjustments.
