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.

SMJ Teflon battery tape

SMJ have introduced their new Teflon battery tape that will greatly lower the friction between the battery compartment surface and the battery case. Only 0.15mm thin the tape has a very low friction coefficient while not disturbing a low centre of gravity, ensuring the battery has way less influence in chassis tweak during cornering, ensuring more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The tape also offers protection to the chassis and battery case making both parts look fresh for a long time. SMJ recommend to place the tape on the lower side of the battery case instead of the main plate when running the latest breed of highly machined flex aluminium chassis.
