Tekno RC NT48 2.0 Nitro truggy

Tekno RC have released the long awaited NT48 2.0, the fastest and most durable nitro truggy that they have ever produced. The bar was set high with the legendary NT48.3 and its countless victories and podiums across the world. The new NT48 truggy incorporates all of the 2.0 platform’s best features such as quick access diffs, incredibly free suspension, twisted caster front arms, and a decoupled radio tray. After all of the performance features were worked out, they spent some time adding strength in all of the right places. The suspension arms are ridiculously beefy, the driveshafts are thicker, and they decided on a stout 4mm chassis. The chassis components are kept as far forward as possible to aid in steering response and corner rotation. Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last year, you’ve probably noticed that the entire RC racing industry has adopted their fresh approach to truggy body aesthetics.

JConcepts Warrior Arrma Typhon body

The Warrior body by JConcepts features a design that has, frankly, gone a little mad. The design process was simple, throw out the conventional principals and centre the design around a battle tested look, fit and finish. The Warrior is protected from the competition with a heavily wrapped roll-cage to provide strength in every direction. The racers eye is drawn to the unique split front window, protecting the cockpit from the occasional aerial assault of lap traffic. The rear upper pods blend into the rear section of the body to start a ramping feature which tops-off at the rear body mounts. The side-pods are tall and with an additional scoop built on top to accommodate an assortment of different type of battery packs. The sides of the body shell fit the chassis like a glove and allows plenty of electrical clearance inside the shell. The body is an experienced racer too, featuring a vent that may be trimmed by the user and opened on the front of the scoops and off the back of the cab providing air-intake or escape packages for the skilled and crafty driver. Fully committed, the Warrior body features cut lines for the Arrma Typhon or the TLR Tuned version.

JConcepts titanium 5.5 x 6mm ball studs

A sought-after piece in the RC world is the 5.5 x 6mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles and JConcepts Regulator behind axle steering assembly. Previously, the kit versions were very heavy steel items which is a lot of unnecessary weight. With the JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2mm wrench while the lightweight material screws together very easily.
