Tekno RC hardened steel diff case

Coming from Tekno RC and made for their line of off-road vehicles is a hardened steel diff case. CNC machined from steel and hardened, this diff case handles the extreme conditions found when pushing the vehicles to the limit. Although a steel diff case is perfectly suited for the MT410 or ET48 with a huge motor or 6S battery, it can also be used as a tuning option to help reduce wheel spin when racing the ET48, EB48, NT48, NB48 or SCT410 kits. The hardened steel diff case is a direct replacement for composite diff case and can be used in the front, centre or rear differentials.

JConcepts Sprinter 2.2” buggy tyres

JConcepts have introduced their new Sprinter 2.2” buggy tyres that were designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other pin tyre options from JConcepts. The tread features square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre. Typically, a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tyre option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. With the popularity of dirt-oval racing, vehicles being designed with either mid-motor or laydown transmission options, a new generation pin style, carcass and outer tread design was needed.
