Tekno RC 1:8 Offroad option parts

Tekno RC has introduced a number of new performance optional parts for their 1:8 offroad chassis range. A new gearbox lowers the diff height, which improves bump handling and provides a smoother, more consistent driving experience, especially mid-corner. The -2mm gearbox requires the new TKR9017B bulkhead cover. To avoid contact with the chassis, Tekno RC NB48 2.X buggies require a light grind (removing roughly 0.5mm of material) on the chassis below the ring gear. TKR9416B is a direct drop in for the EB/ET/NT48 2.X 1/8th scale vehicles and no modifications are necessary. Tekno recommend utilising TKR9054B +/-2 rear hubs when using this new gearbox with the NB/EB48 buggies. The combination of TKR9416B and TKR9054B improves overall grip, stability, and predictability in the rear end.

JConcepts The Hold | Fling Kings 1:24 Crawler Tires

JConcepts has two new tires for the 1:24 1.0” crawling enthusiast – The Hold and Fling Kings. The Hold was designed from the ground-up as a carved and chiseled design to handle a variety of scale off-road terrain. The large horizontal traction bars put a “Hold” on ranging features from dirt, asphalt, grass, mud, rock, and clay. At the tip of the tread, the downward progression starts and reveals another flat bar of gripping pattern to provide offset traction controlling attributes.
