Tekno 1/8th scale large radius spring perch set

Tekno have introduced their new 1/8th scale large radius spring perch set for their 1/8th scale vehicles. The locking shock rod end and spring perch set features an updated design to drastically increase the life of the shock boots. In this new set, the spring perch has been redesigned with a large radius at the top of the slot where the perch slips over the shock shaft, eliminating a sharp edge that could quickly damage the shock boot. Less shock boot tearing means the shocks will be more consistent between rebuilds with less dirt and dust being allowed in, which also preserves the shock shafts and O-rings. This new spring perch set features the same tall spring perch design as the previous #TKR6140B shock rod end and spring perch set and is made from the same durable composite plastic. Compatible with all Tekno RC 1/8th vehicles as well as the SCT410 and MT410.

JConcepts SCT Octagons Aqua A2 compound

JConcepts have announced the release of their SCT Octagons tyres in the Aqua A2 compound. Developed for high-bite, slick tyre racing, the beauty of the Octagons lay just beneath the surface where the designers have removed a little surface area in the geometry based pattern. The carcass is new, slightly rounder and lower profile than JConcepts slick tyres of the past and it incorporates heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support. The continuous thickness carcass is light-weight and utilises the industry standard 3.0” x 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The package includes the Dirt-Tech inserts for best possible sidewall and thread support.
