Tekno RC Polished Shock Caps

US offroad kit manufacturer Tekno RC has released a new Polished Shock Cap for its 1:8 shocks. Building on their proven shock cap design, this polished shock cap set delivers the same versatility and strength but now with a race-inspired polished finish. CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, these shock caps support standard, vented, and emulsion shock configurations in one solution. The polished surface is inspired by team driver Jimmy Fishback, who began polishing his own shock caps in pursuit of better looks and easier maintenance. The polished surface helps reduce oil and dirt buildup, making cleanup faster and easier after long runs. It also does a better job of hiding small scratches and wear, keeping the shocks looking cleaner and newer for longer. Left, and, right specific caps position the cap screw toward the inside of the vehicle, while the bleeder hole faces the rear, helping keep dirt and dust away during use.
