Tekno EB/ET410 shock standoffs & bushings

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.
