Avid B44.2 aluminium centre cap

Avid B44.2 aluminium center cap

Avid’s new B44.2 aluminium centre cap is a fresh take on the design which keeps your chassis secure and makes the car easier to work on. The design eliminates 4 screws for the original cap and instead directly links the front and rear upper decks with taper mounts that key into the upper decks. The added benefit of this design is that maintenance is simplified, when you only remove 4 screws and the entire upper deck assembly is loose for easy slipper clutch removal.

Tekno RC NB48 1/8th nitro buggy

Tekno RC have introduced the NB48, a completely new 1/8th nitro buggy built on their EB48 and SCT410 platform. The chassis has ideal weight distribution side-to-side due to creating an all new mid-offset rear bulkhead and ring gear which moves the engine closer to the centre without overloading the right side. It also minimizes drive angles and wear on the center dog bones so the drivetrain is as free as can be without sacrificing chassis layout and weight balance on the very narrow 4mm 7075 CNC hard anodized aluminum chassis. The engine can be mounted in two positions, a front position and an 18mm offset rear position. Under most conditions the motor forward produces the fastest cornering and subsequent lap times while in very bumpy or very loose conditions testing shows the rear engine position can be easier to drive.
