Tekno EB/NB48.4 CVA-style driveshafts

Coming from Tekno are CVA-style driveshafts for the EB48.4 and NB48.4 1/8th scale off-road buggies. The .4 CVAs have been redesigned with an oversized ball joint to reduce wear, resulting in improved consistency. The stock universal driveshafts excel in bumpy conditions but on smoother tracks, CVAs are usually going to yield faster corner speeds, quicker acceleration and reduce weight transfer allowing the driver to grab more throttle earlier in the corner. The new CVA parts must be used together as a complete set of driveshafts, stub axles, CV rebuild kit, and 15x21x4 bearings – all of which are available separately – and are compatible with the EB48.4 and NB48.4 buggies.

TLR 22-4 low-profile body – Teaser image

Team Losi Racing have released a first image of their forthcoming low-profile body shell for the 22-4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Making its debut during this week’s 2017 ROAR Electric Off-road Nationals, the 22 4.0 inspired shell features a lower cab section, and no vertically fin, making for a more flowing and better rotating body when compared to the cab forward offering. TLR’s JP Richards was the first to run the body in practice and says: “First glance, the body has that new sleek and edgy design. Then you hit the track and it really helps the car have a fluent feel, with a good balance of steering, stability, and traction without the overbearing feel of a tall front cab.” The body is roughly scheduled for a late 2017 release.
