T-Works roll out new EB410.2 optionals

T-Works have announced the release of new optional parts for the Tekno RC EB410.2 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. First up is a 64 grade titanium shock standoff set that replaces the standard steel parts for lighter yet sturdy items that also add some visual impact due to their natural silver colour finish. The standoffs come in sets of four and due to their lower weight, they will help to lower the buggy’s overall centre of gravity which helps especially in high-bite track conditions.

Avid NB48 2.0 carbon fibre shock towers

Avid have announced the release of their new carbon fibre shock towers for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. The 5mm carbon shock stays are made from 100 percent carbon fibre, they feature a matte finish and cutouts for a nice look. In addition they are slightly chamfered on the front side to help avoid splitting or chipping on hard wrecks. They mimic the standard suspension geometry and remove about 33 of weight compared to the standard aluminium towers. The front and rear towers are sold separately or as a set.

Tekno NB48 2.0 tall wing mount

Tekno RC have announced the release of a new tall wing mount designed to further enhance the performance of the new NB48 2.0 buggy. This wing mount raises the wing 10mm and moves it 12.5mm forward, helping to move weight more towards the front of the vehicle while improving roll characteristics. Intended to be used when racing on low grip conditions, this wing mount will reduce the mid-corner “pendulum” effect while keeping the rear more planted. The tall wing mount is a direct replacement for the standard wing mount and does not require additional hardware.

Leadfinger Racing NB48 2.0 Tactic A2.1 body

Leadfinger Racing have introduced their Tactic A2.1 body shell for the new Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. First introduced in mid 2019, the A2.1 Tactic body design form has proven it self on the track with a handful of different platforms. For the NB48 2.0 the designers had to adapt the A2.1 design to the buggy’s unique layout with these differences resulting in widening the cab and adding to the size of the side pod scoops for clearance. To keep performance in check, additional downforce was added to the rear of the side pods and rear centre of the body. The cab is topped off with a shark fin for stability and to finish off the design a front scoop was added. The body is available now and it includes window masks and a sticker sheet.

T-Works NB48 2.0 titanium shock standoffs

T-Works have announced the release of a titanium shock standoff set for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. Machined from high-quality 64-grade titanium the shock mounts offer a lower weight than the standard steel standoffs while being less prone to corrosion at the same time. Due to the lower weight of the standoffs, the buggy‘s centre of gravity will be lowered which can be beneficial especially in high-grip track conditions. The set includes four standoffs and it is available now.

Tekno NB48 2.0 carbon & brass optionals

Tekno RC have introduced new carbon fibre and brass option parts for the NB48 2.0 buggy. First up and designed to improve the look and handling of the NB48 2.0 buggy are carbon fibre shock towers. They add visual impact and can also improve bump handling and grip by being slightly more compliant than aluminium. When using front and rear carbon towers, the weight of the vehicle is reduced by 50 grams. This helps to slightly lower the centre of gravity and increases corner speed. At 5mm thick the shock stays are strong and easily withstand all but the most extreme race incidents.
