Tekno RC aluminium gear diff cross pins

Tekno introduce the new aluminium differential cross pins for the use in the company’s 1/8th scale vehicles as well as the SCT410. The cross pins are lighter than the stock parts and reduce the rotating mass in the differentials by 6.3 grams which results in faster acceleration and improved efficiency. The pins are machined from 7075 aluminium and hard-anodised for best wear characteristics. The pins are sold in packs of six allowing for replacement of all three differentials at the same time.
