Tekno RC have announced some hot new products for the Losi 8 and Hot Bodies D8 line of 1/8th scale vehicles. First up is the new adjustable wing mount for the Losi 8B/8T (and D8/D8T/Ve8). A direct fit for the Losi it is made from an extremely durable plastic composite and has adjustable angle and height. No more body clips to hold on the wing, instead screws take up this task for a tightly fitted wing. The new wing mount is also designed to fit the Hot Bodies D8/D8T/Ve8/Vorza line using of one of their 3 new shock towers. The new rear shock towers are machined from 5mm thick 7075 T6 aluminium and are lighter and stronger than stock and are hard anodized for a sleek appearance. By using the bulkhead as an attachment point for the wing rather than simply attaching it only to the shock tower, the new wing mount and shock tower combo is far more durable than stock. Finally there are two separate towers for the D8/Ve8/Vorza buggies, a standard stock replacement and one for the optional 112mm shocks. All of these shock towers accommodate the new Tekno RC Adjustable Wing Mount, the stock wing mount, or the Losi 8 wing mount.
