T-Works have announced the release of captured titanium rear outer hinge pins for the Tekno RC EB410 and ET410 kits. The design of the suspension shafts improves overall reliability due to the captured design while the lightweight and corrosion resistant titanium material reduces unsprung masses. The set includes a pair of hinge pins and suitable nyloc nuts.

Made for the Tekno RC EB410 and ET410 kits are two new stainless steel chassis protector sets from T-Works. Coming separately for the front or the rear of the vehicles, the sets include two skid plates each that were designed to be a direct fit and to protect the chassis overhangs from becoming overall damaged on abrasive surfaces or when running on tracks with large jumps.

Tekno RC have announce the release of two new option parts to improve the longevity of the popular EB410 and ET410 vehicles. First up are new shock standoffs that allow the shock to only pivot between the standoff and bushing, moving the wear surface to the bushing itself and increasing the life of the cap. The standoff are made from high-quality steel, they fit the EB410 and ET410 vehicles and must be used with below’s keyed shock bushings. The bushings are designed to snap in and key with the top surface, making it virtually impossible for the bushing to rotate and wear the cap. Instead, the wear surface has been moved to the shock bushing itself reducing the cost to maintain your suspension. The bushings are made from durable composite plastic and fit the Tekno RC 1/10th scale shock caps TKR6712 and TKR6712A only.
Exotek have introduced a set of heavy duty 3.4mm hardened steel inner hinge pins for the Tekno EB410 and ET410 vehicles. The larger centre section helps prevent bent or busted pins while keeping the stock 3mm diameter at the ends in order to fit the stock inserts and while also only slightly enlarging the arm holes to maintain arm strength. The set, that is recommended for experienced hobbyists only, includes four hinge pins and a high speed drill bit to ream the arms to accept the larger hardened hinge pins.
Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno ET410 1/10th scale 4WD truck is a dedicated Finnisher body shell. One of the latest classes to hit the scene is the 1/10th truggy class and Tekno has been leading edge in this department with the release of the ET410. JC’s Finnisher body incorporates pre-dimpled locations for the ET410 and it features a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance to highlight a performance oriented core. A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique shock geometry and the body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Chin spoiler, headlight and grille protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. The Finnisher has a built-in air escape passage on the roof which allows the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body is produced with name plates which provide additional high-speed stability and improved positioning of the rear bed rails to strengthen the assembly. Overall handling has been improved by balancing the bias between the cab location and rear wing placement. Each body comes with window masks, decal sheet, and rear S-Type wing.
Coming from Exotek and made for Tekno RC’s NB/EB48 series of vehicles are heavy duty aluminium steering spindles and rear hub carriers. The HD 7075 alloy steering spindles and rear hubs for the EB48.4 and NB48.4 series ensures consistent suspension performance and handling and they are extra durable for high-powered applications and polished and anodised in glossy Tekno team colours for that factory look. The spindles and rear uprights are available as separate sets and they match the stock geometry.
Tekno RC’s new lightweight wing has been designed to eliminate unnecessary material while maintaining strength and durability. Coming in at just 41 grams, it’s meant to be the lightest moulded wing on the market by nearly ten grams. As the highest part on the vehicle, a lightweight wing improves the vehicle’s handling by lowering the centre of gravity. Injection moulded from a durable polymer blend and thoroughly track tested, it will stand up to brutal race conditions. It is also ROAR and IFMAR legal without modification, uses standard mounting locations and wing buttons. The wing is available in black, yellow and white colour.
New from Exotek is a 6061 aluminium rear swaybar mount for the Tekno EB410 buggy. The simple and precise sway bar mount allows to run the popular rear end setups that use the shocks forward and arms reversed. It uses the stock hardware and requires the use of the #TKR6583C shock towers with camber mounts. The part comes polished and glossy anodised for a factory look.
