Tekno EB/ET410 shock standoffs & bushings

Tekno RC have announce the release of two new option parts to improve the longevity of the popular EB410 and ET410 vehicles. First up are new shock standoffs that allow the shock to only pivot between the standoff and bushing, moving the wear surface to the bushing itself and increasing the life of the cap. The standoff are made from high-quality steel, they fit the EB410 and ET410 vehicles and must be used with below’s keyed shock bushings. The bushings are designed to snap in and key with the top surface, making it virtually impossible for the bushing to rotate and wear the cap. Instead, the wear surface has been moved to the shock bushing itself reducing the cost to maintain your suspension. The bushings are made from durable composite plastic and fit the Tekno RC 1/10th scale shock caps TKR6712 and TKR6712A only.

JConcepts S2 & F2 TLR 22 5.0 body shells

JConcepts have updated their popular S2 and F2 design body shells to now fit the TLR 22 5.0 buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Cut-lines are included on the body to accommodate stand-up and lay-down transmission layouts giving all out versatility.
