Exotek ET410 machined spur gear & mounting plate

New from Exotek is a machined heavy duty delrin spur gear and aluminium mounting plate set for the Tekno ET410 truck’s centre gear differential. The 2-piece design allows for quick and easy spur gear changes as the owner does not have to open the gear diff and remove the outdrive, or refill the oils. The alloy mounting plate also provides cooling of the diff fluid for more consistent diff action while the machined delrin spur gear provides robust durability along with smoother spur gear operation. The set includes a 53T 32 pitch spur gear that is also available separately.

Tekno RC engine tuning screw driver

Tekno RC have introduced their new CNC-machined XT engine tuning screw driver ideal for off-road and on-road engine carburettor tuning. The tool features the same feel, comfort, and adjustable length functionality of Tekno’s nut drivers. The tip is specifically designed for model engine tuning and a rubber flywheel stopper saves the driver’s or mechanic’s thumb from unneeded abuse. The handle is gun metal anodised for a sleek appearance and wear resistance. Soft knurling on the handle produces a high grip surface, reducing the risk of it slipping out of the hands when covered in oil or fuel. An M5 set screw holds the tip in place, preventing it from coming loose or strip out. Engine tuning is a breeze with the extended reach of the flat blade tip. Tips are available separately for spares or repair.

Tekno RC hardened steel diff case

Coming from Tekno RC and made for their line of off-road vehicles is a hardened steel diff case. CNC machined from steel and hardened, this diff case handles the extreme conditions found when pushing the vehicles to the limit. Although a steel diff case is perfectly suited for the MT410 or ET48 with a huge motor or 6S battery, it can also be used as a tuning option to help reduce wheel spin when racing the ET48, EB48, NT48, NB48 or SCT410 kits. The hardened steel diff case is a direct replacement for composite diff case and can be used in the front, centre or rear differentials.

VSR Products NB/EB48.8 wing shims

VSR Products’ popular 1/8 scale wing shims are now available for the Tekno 1/8th scale platforms. The addition of the 7mm or 10mm wing shim elevates the rear wing of the NB48.4 or EB48.8. Raising the rear wing creates more downforce and stability at high speeds and on large jumps, and has worked well on large high-speed and bumpy tracks. Raising the wing allows it to create more consistent downforce, thus making a more consistent car throughout the corner. Both 3-D-printed shims come with two metric screws to replace the stock ones, and offers a tuning option between no shim and the VSR 10mm shim.
