Tekno RC XT CNC-machined tools

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. They are gun metal anodised for a sleek appearance and wear resistance while soft knurling on the handle’s grip area produces great leverage without tearing up the hands. A large flat spot on the bottom helps prevent the tools from rolling onto the ground. Each tool is laser etched for easy identification and a large thumb relief in the handle makes for an ergonomic feel. An M5 set screw holds the CNC machined high carbon steel adjustable length 4mm shank tips in place. The tools are available in several sizes including 1.5mm to 2.5mm hex wrenches, 2mm and 2.5mm ball hex wrenches and as 5mm to 8mm nut drivers. The handles and tool tips are also available separately.

Tekno locking spring perches & rubber shock boots

Tekno RC have new option parts for their line of 1/8th and 1/10th vehicles available. First up is the locking shock rod ends and spring perch set. The all-new design mates up with the company’s new captured shock boots and it will ensure the suspension stays consistent throughout any race or run. The spring perches rest on a shelf around the rod end instead of directly on top of the rod end. The result is less interference from the shock boot and absolutely no sacrifice in up travel. Each spring perch and rod end is also secured by an M3x10mm set screw for added reliability. The rod ends and spring perches are compatible with Tekno’s 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks as well as their 1/10th 4WD SC truck.
