T-Works introduce new NB48 2.0 optionals

Coming from T-Works and made for the Tekno NB48 2.0 buggy are new aluminium optionals in the form of a +5mm shock standoff and a diff cross pin set. Starting with the standoffs, the shock mounts are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they are of a +5mm design, meaning the shock are attached more laid back which can optimise the suspension action in certain conditions. To improve durability the parts come with a hard surface coating and also included is gold-colour mounting hardware. Also new is a 6-piece set of hard-coated 7075-T6 aluminium differential cross pins. Designed to be a direct replacement for the standard pins the alloy parts remove rotational masses from the drivetrain for quicker spool-up and acceleration. While being available as a full set, the pins are also available as pairs for single diff units.

JConcepts Sprinter SCT tyre

Coming from JConcepts is their new Sprinter SCT tyre for 1/10th scale short course trucks. The Sprinter tyre is designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other pin tyre options from JConcepts. The Sprinter has square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre. Typically, a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a tyre option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. With the popularity of dirt-oval racing, vehicles being designed with either mid-motor or laydown transmission options, a new generation pin style, carcass and outer tread design was needed. The outer sidewall of the tyre has angled pins incorporated into the design to help release the turn and provide the rotation not only needed in dirt off-road but specifically in dirt-oval racing. The blended tread to tyre body is supported with a generous radius which promotes “pin snap” and resists tearing or separation. Horizontal traction bars connect several pins near the centre of the tyre which bonds a critical area for increased push at high-speed. The sidewall area blends nicely into a step-spike feature which helps smooth the transition in bumpy sections and create side-bite. The Sprinters are built on the conventional and popular 3.0” x 2.2” bead and carcass design making them interchangeable. Since the Sprinter tyre is directional, there is a left and right marked and included in each package. The interior ribbing features the double-hatch pattern that helps maintain a comfy ride while each set of tyres includes the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.
