Pro-Line NT48 Enforcer bodyshell

Tailor-made for Tekno RC’s NT48 1/8th scale nitro truggy is Pro-Line’ latest Enforcer-seried bodyshell. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the success of the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more downforce over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. On top of that the body is meant to be more durable than the kit body, allowing you to hit the track harder. As usual the body comes made from high-quality clear Lexan material and including window masks and decal sheets.

Tekno EB48SL 1/8th ‘Super Light’ Buggy Kit

Tekno EB48SL 1/8th 'Super Light' Buggy Kit

Tekno introduce the new EB48SL Super Light 1/8th scale racing buggy kit. Based on the SCT410.3 1/10th scale short course truck the buggy is a lightweight alternative to the somewhat heavy standard 1/8th buggies and ideal for tight and twisty indoor tracks. The buggy shares around 95 percent of parts with the SCT410.3 with all of the new improvements and features put into the truck are all present in the buggy, along with a couple others specifically for the 1/8th kit. Lightened differentials, a lightened driveline, and lightened aluminium parts are standard and used throughout. 16mm bore, aluminium threaded body, long travel shocks are standard and the updated SCT410.3 suspension geometry is standard as are a split centre diff mount and the lightened chassis. The buggy is designed for the use with Pro4 motors, brushless speed controllers and 2S LiPo battery packs to make for a much lower weight compared to its heavy 4S siblings and thus improved acceleration, corner speed and jump handling.

Tekno RC introduce the XT line of CNC-machined tools. The tools offer specially designed handles to make for effortless wrenching and the handles are available in two different sizes.
