Coming from T-Works and made for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy are DLC-coated suspension pins. Available separately as 3×54.2mm suspension, 3x30mm front or 3x28mm rear variants, the shafts are machined from high-quality steel and they are finished using the same DLC coating that is used by many engine manufacturers to produce a slick and low-wearing surface. Also available is a full 8-piece set.

The Horizon RC Fest was held this last weekend in Monticello, Illinois this past weekend with he event caring about everything radio controlled including planes, drones and cars. As part of the festivities Horizon Hobby held their TLR Cup for 1/8th scale off-road classes and it was Tekno RC’s Joe Bornhorst who would sweep the Pro Buggy, Truggy and E-Buggy classes. Pro Buggy and Truggy were TQ’ed by TLR’s Dakotah Phend, using what appear to be prototype 8ight 5.0 and 8ight-T 5.0 vehicles, however Bornhorst would ultimately walk away with the wins in Pro Buggy, Truggy and E-Buggy to round out a perfect weekend.

Coming soon from Leadfinger Racing is their Strife body shell for the Tekno RC ET48.3 electric 1/8th scale truggy. Sporting a pretty radical design with a raised and channeled hood section, chin spoiler as well as a channelled roof section, the body is set to offer improved aerodynamics compared to the standard body with looks to match. The lid is expected to ship early June.

Tekno RC have announced two new swaybar sets for the EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. They make it easier to fine-tune the setup depending on the traction level, from loamy low traction surfaces to high grip carpet. The front set includes wires thicker than those found in TKR6623 and are best used on higher grip surfaces such as carpet or blue grooved clay. They provide a great tuning option to reduce steering sensitivity and prevent traction rolling on high bite surfaces. Included are five 1.5mm to 1.9mm wires. The rear set includes thinner-than-stock swaybars, making them a useful option for low grip surfaces. They will help generate additional rear traction and can also aid in stabilising the rear suspension on very bumpy surfaces. Included are five 1.0mm to 1.4mm wires.

Coming from Vision Racing Products is the Tekno EB410 option carbon fibre -2 shock rear tower. The shock stay has mounting holes that are 2mm lower than the stock locations for added tuning options. Made from high quality 4mm carbon, the tower is stronger yet considerably lighter than the stock item and it features a unique ‘T’ design for added bling.

Coming from Tekno for their EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy are new universal driveshafts as well as an updated rear shock tower. Starting with the driveshafts, the assemblies are CNC machined from high-quality steel alloy and black oxidised for wear resistance. Extreme working angles are no problem and they are also lightweight as the excess material has been removed without compromising performance or strength. Universal driveshafts excel in rough conditions and can generate additional side bite by providing additional roll in the corners. The suspension is allowed to work more efficiently when compared to the additional mechanical binding in CVAs. This allows the vehicle to absorb bumps better with a reduced risk of “catching a rut” and flipping the car while cornering. For smoother tracks, CVA’s will produce more forward traction and support, but universals are also well suited with slight suspension setup changes such as springs and oil. The basic design of a universal driveshaft means virtually no maintenance is required and dirt and dust won’t foul the operation of the joint. These are ready to drop into the EB410 with the use of additional 8x14x4mm bearings.
Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno NT48.3 truggy is the new Finnisher body shell. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core while wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique Tekno NT48.3 shock geometry. The body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Extended front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. The body comes moulded from high-quality polycarbonate, including window masks and a decal sheet and it also fits and works with the ET48.3 electric truck.
