JConcepts S15 EB48 2.0 body shell

JConcepts have announced the soon release of their S15 body shell for the Tekno EB48 2.0 buggy. The S15 blends performance features from the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The area behind the cab remains clean with a deep-rooted position allowing exposure to air and escape. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample inside space, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard-edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the Tekno EB48 2.0. Included with the body come window masks and a decal sheet.

Alex Vaughn RC NB/EB48 2.0 carbon shock towers

AVRC Products have announced their 5mm carbon fibre shock towers for the Tekno NB and EB 2.0 buggy models. With performance and durability in mind the design focuses on corner radius, chamfering of edges and material. AVRC focused on limiting sharp corner radius in the design to provide strength and rigidity, in addition chamfered edges were added to both sides to help limit material fraying during extreme impacts. As for material the shock towers are made of 5mm thick 3k Twill weave carbon fibre with matte finish. The shock stays are available separately for the front and rear from now on.
