Tekno RC have introduced new CNC-machined flat/tapered 3×2.1 shock pistons for the company’s line of 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles. The pistons excel when used with the NB48.3 and EB48.3 vehicles on bumpy tracks where less pack than the original 4×1.8 pistons is needed. They produce more side bite and make the vehicle more consistent on ruts and bumps. The pistons are made from self-lubricating Delrin material and they utilise a new tapered shape. The CNC pistons have triple 2.1mm holes and the total piston hole area is 10.4mm² and they can be used with all Tekno RC and other vehicles that use 16mm bore shocks.

Tekno RC have announced the signing of Barry Pettit to their factory team. The former Mugen driver is known for his dedication to RC cars and also willingness to help others on the track so he can be seen as a great asset to the company’s growing US team.

For me, RC racing began going to the local track with my dad strictly to have fun and hang out together. Neither of us ever thought it would grow into such a large part of our lives. We have traveled to so many great places and met so many great people, and for that we are majorly thankful! There are so many people to thank for my success, but first I want to thank my family and my girlfriend for always supporting my passion and me. I am also thankful for ALL of the people who have supported, sponsored, and mentored me in the past as you have shaped me into the driver and person I am today.
