Exotek EB410.2 & ET410.2 heavy duty rear hub set

From Exotek come this new heavy duty alloy rear hub set for the EB410.2 and ET410.2. Switching the ball stud to an upright angle, the part still matches the stock geometry, but makes for easier roll centre adjustments by adding washers (not included) and the hubs are omnidirectional so that they can be mounted on either side of the vehicle. Extra durable for high powered applications and polished and anodised in Tekno team colours, they are then machined a second time to insure precise bearing fit.

Tekno optional diff cross pins & brake pad return springs

CNC machined from 7075 aluminium and hard anodised, these optional differential cross pins from Tekno reduce driveline rotating mass and slightly improve acceleration. They’re great if you’re looking to shave a few grams plus they last incredibly long due to the hard anodising. TKR9149A is a direct replacement for TKR9149 and is compatible with TKR9115 differential cases and TKR9150 gear sets. Also from Tekno are these revised extra stiff brake pad return springs to improve the consistency and lifespan of your brakes. The spring rate has been increased and provides more force to ensure your brakes won’t stick when disengaged. They provide a more natural feel in long runs and help eliminate brake fade by reducing friction between the brake discs and pads.

Tekno RC ET48 2.0 1/8th 4wd EP truggy

Following the recent introduction of the EB/NB48 2.0 buggies, it was only a matter of time until Tekno incorporated all of the cool features into an all-new truck platform. The ET48 2.0 shares many of the parts and design elements first introduced on the buggy. A primary goal of this project was to minimise the additional parts needed to help keep drivers on the track or bashing at their favourite spot. You will find that quite a few of the parts you already have will work on the new ET48 2.0. They carried over features first seen with the 2.0 buggies such as the industry-first suspension arms with built-in caster. This allows a longer overall arm length, ideal front-end geometry and increased durability. It has rear hubs that provide roll centre adjustments by adjusting the axle height and they carried over the active rear toe system. A substantial amount of time was invested in developing the smoothest suspension package available to make the truck a breeze to drive in the roughest conditions. They also brought over the quick access differentials with increased volume that improves consistency and efficiency with minimal maintenance time. And naturally, it has the extreme toughness as well as the great handling that Tekno RC vehicles are known for.

Tekno RC aluminium sway bar collars

Help keep the sway bars of your EB48 2.0 and NB48 2.0 vehicles in place for a long main with these new aluminium collars from Tekno RC. CNC machined from aluminium and hard anodised, these collars are less likely to move due to the threads being damaged from over-tightening or a direct hit to the sway bar. These are a direct replacement for the stock plastic collars and require four M3x4mm set screws.
