Vision Racing SCTE 2.0 carbon fibre options

Vision Racing introduce three new option parts for TLR’s Ten-SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck in the form of a centre diff brace and two different length steering drag links. All parts are cut from 2.5mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre and while the diff brace makes for a stiffer and more rigid centre of the chassis the steering links are used to adjust the Ackermann angle of the front tyres in order to fine-tune steering characteristics.

Avid B44.2 aluminium centre cap

Avid B44.2 aluminium center cap

Avid’s new B44.2 aluminium centre cap is a fresh take on the design which keeps your chassis secure and makes the car easier to work on. The design eliminates 4 screws for the original cap and instead directly links the front and rear upper decks with taper mounts that key into the upper decks. The added benefit of this design is that maintenance is simplified, when you only remove 4 screws and the entire upper deck assembly is loose for easy slipper clutch removal.

Tekno RC NB48 1/8th nitro buggy

Tekno RC have introduced the NB48, a completely new 1/8th nitro buggy built on their EB48 and SCT410 platform. The chassis has ideal weight distribution side-to-side due to creating an all new mid-offset rear bulkhead and ring gear which moves the engine closer to the centre without overloading the right side. It also minimizes drive angles and wear on the center dog bones so the drivetrain is as free as can be without sacrificing chassis layout and weight balance on the very narrow 4mm 7075 CNC hard anodized aluminum chassis. The engine can be mounted in two positions, a front position and an 18mm offset rear position. Under most conditions the motor forward produces the fastest cornering and subsequent lap times while in very bumpy or very loose conditions testing shows the rear engine position can be easier to drive.

Capricorn have released this new optional motor mount & spur holder for their TE01 TC chassis. Changeable with the standard version, it will help increase the traction with more flexibility between the chassis and upper deck. The flexibility can be managed by mounting the connecting support or by using screws in the spur gear mount and connecting support, giving you 3 steps available of varying flex.
