Tekno SCT410 LCG lightened motor mount insert

New from Tekno RC comes this lightened low centre of gravity motor mount insert for the SCT410 4WD short course truck and the EB48-SL buggy. Using the part lowers the motor by 5mm and it is usable with all Pro4 motors with standard 36mm diameter. Lowering one of the heaviest parts of the vehicle by 5mm will have a noticeable effect on handling, resulting in faster cornering and less mistakes due to traction rolling. The part is CNC machined out of 7075 aluminium, then gun metal anodised for wear.
