T-Works NB48 2.0 titanium turnbuckles & screw sets

Coming from T-Works and made for Tekno RC’s new NB48 2.0 1/8th nitro buggy are a titanium turnbuckle set as well as two screw kits. Starting with the turnbuckles, the set includes a total of seven spanners for the steering, camber and servo links that help to reduce weight while offering higher corrosion resistance than standard steel turnbuckles. Also included are 4mm and 5mm turnbuckle wrenches for easy building and setup. As for the screw sets, coming soon are a 140-piece UFO head titanium and a 156-piece gold-colour steel screw kit. The titanium set will greatly lower the overall weight of the buggy while adding corrosion resistance. The gold-coloured set mainly adds visual impact but the surface coating also prevents the parts from collecting rust over time.
