Tekno NB48.3 1/8th nitro buggy kit

Tekno has given its NB48 1/8th nitro off-road buggy a revision and now rolls out the NB48.3 that is meant to be faster, nimbler, and easier to drive. Sharing many parts with the recently introduced EB48.3 electric buggy the nitro kit includes a redesigned suspension package for improved big jump landings, small bump handling and consistency by utilising longer shock absorbers with new shock pistons as well as including revised A-arms and shock towers with updated shock positions. The chassis has evolved as well as by offering the forward engine position only and by optimising the flex characteristics of the front engine layout. This improves the gear mesh between the clutch bell and the new 46t spur gear and also helps to calm the rear of the car.
