Tekno RC EB48 2.1 1:8 Competition Electric Buggy

Having launched their new NB48 2.1 Nitro Buggy during the Summer, Tekno RC has now released the electric version the EB48 2.1. The American manufacturer has always taken the electric buggy class very seriously, and the EB48 2.1 continues this legacy. Their electric conversion kits were among the first in the industry, and the EB48 was the first 1:8 electric kit designed for competition. Ebuggy is deeply ingrained in Tekno RC’s DNA, and they have brought the same level of care, innovation, and fun to the EB48 2.1 that customers have come to rely on. After the success of the NB48 2.1, they wanted their dedicated electric racers to immediately experience the same updates, performance improvements, and durability enhancements as their nitro racers. The EB48 2.1 includes many of the same features found on the NB48 2.1, as well as an electric-specific improvement. In addition to continuing to take full-size 4s packs, the EB48 2.1 now provides outstanding support for 4s shorty packs in either the front or rear weight bias configuration.

Team Associated RC10B74.2 & B74.2D Team Kit

Team Associated have released their new RC10B74.2 & B74.2D Team Kit 1:10 buggies. As tires, motors, batteries, and tracks evolve, Team Associated adapts and improves with every iteration of the RC10. Their engineers set out to extract more performance from the RC10B74 4WD buggy platform with the introduction of the RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D. The goal was to reduce overall weight, lower the centre of gravity, and improve jump and bump handling. The RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D introduce molded gearboxes front and rear, which lower the centre of gravity by removing weight from high points of the car. They have also modified the differentials to improve rolling speed through turns and increase stability on landings, allowing the buggy to corner faster on high-grip carpet and clay tracks. The latest 13mm big bore shock technology from Team Associated is included, taking the RC10B74.2 to the next level in jump and bump handling performance. The introduction of gull wing front suspension arms and the inclusion of the LTC gear sets for the differentials make the RC10B74.2 platform easier and more predictable to drive on any track condition.

Rêve D 8mm offset spec DPS & UL12 wheels

Following customer requests, RC drift brand Rêve D has released an 8mm offset version of their competition DP5 & UL12 wheels. Popular for its light weight and high traction characteristics, it is available in two colours, standard white and black. While maintaining the highest performance of lightweight (about 11g each) and high traction realised by optimising the material, design, and dimensions of each part, the offset is now 8mm. The adoption of a large inner diameter & thin rim avoids interference with the suspension just like the current DP5 & UL12 offering.
