Tekno RC ET48 2.0 1/8th 4wd EP truggy

Following the recent introduction of the EB/NB48 2.0 buggies, it was only a matter of time until Tekno incorporated all of the cool features into an all-new truck platform. The ET48 2.0 shares many of the parts and design elements first introduced on the buggy. A primary goal of this project was to minimise the additional parts needed to help keep drivers on the track or bashing at their favourite spot. You will find that quite a few of the parts you already have will work on the new ET48 2.0. They carried over features first seen with the 2.0 buggies such as the industry-first suspension arms with built-in caster. This allows a longer overall arm length, ideal front-end geometry and increased durability. It has rear hubs that provide roll centre adjustments by adjusting the axle height and they carried over the active rear toe system. A substantial amount of time was invested in developing the smoothest suspension package available to make the truck a breeze to drive in the roughest conditions. They also brought over the quick access differentials with increased volume that improves consistency and efficiency with minimal maintenance time. And naturally, it has the extreme toughness as well as the great handling that Tekno RC vehicles are known for.

Tekno RC aluminium sway bar collars

Help keep the sway bars of your EB48 2.0 and NB48 2.0 vehicles in place for a long main with these new aluminium collars from Tekno RC. CNC machined from aluminium and hard anodised, these collars are less likely to move due to the threads being damaged from over-tightening or a direct hit to the sway bar. These are a direct replacement for the stock plastic collars and require four M3x4mm set screws.

Tekno ET410.2 1/10th 4WD electric truggy kit

Tekno RC have unveiled their new ET410.2 1/10th scale 4WD electric truggy kit. Tekno RC redefined the 1/10th scale truck in terms of enjoyment and versatility when they introduced the ET410 1/10th 4WD competition electric truggy in 2018. By including many of the design features of the EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy, the ET410 was fast and fun right out of the box. It quickly became a fan favourite due to its versatility and performance on a wide variety of tracks. It could be raced on a small indoor track, then with very few setup changes, you could run it on a large outdoor track with rough surfaces and huge jumps. Now with the ET410.2, Tekno have taken the emerging 1/10th scale 4WD truck class to a new level. The ET410.2 includes all of the durability and handling improvements of the EB410.2, such as the taller one-piece adjustable wing mount, adjustable roll centre rear hubs, 3.5mm hinge pins, and HD hinge pin braces. Tekno also includes stronger HD outdrives, new rear arms with front-mounted shocks, as well as brand-new 18-degree low roll centre spindle carriers to smooth the steering response while improving corner speed. Also part of the package are new spindles with adjustable Ackermann plates to allow more precise tuning of corner entry and exit characteristics. The kit will become available by mid-July.
