Tekno spindle carriers & clutch options

Tekno RC have new option parts for the EB48 electric and NB48 nitro buggy available in the form of 15 degree castor spindle carriers and a clutch tuning set. Starting with the carriers, the 15 degree parts are ideal for bumpy or blown out tracks. They provide more stability in low-bite conditions and make the vehicle easier to drive. Constructed of durable composite material, they are a direct upgrade for the EB48 and EB48.2 electric 1/8th scale buggies and come stock on the NB48, NT48, and ET48 vehicles. Combined with the chassis kick up and ability to adjust that angle with the front inner hinge pin inserts, the total caster on the vehicles can be set from 25 to 27 degree in 0.5 degrees increments.
