Tekno EB410 13.5 Performance Bundle package

Coming from MIP and made for the Tekno EB410 4WD buggy is the Pucks 13.5 Performance Bundle package. Designed for the growing 13.5T stock class, the set is an aluminium based drivetrain system that features an all-new redesigned 2-piece aluminium bi-metal bone and alloy steel yoke, two front 78mm bones and two rear 69mm bones as well as the name-giving 1.5 Pucks. The latter increase the longevity of the drive system by reducing the wear and tear between the pins of the bone and slots of the cups. In addition the set decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by 25 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temps.

SMC Low Rider modified motor

SMC have introduced the somewhat radical Low Rider 540-size modified brushless motor. Designed to offer maximum drivability with a linear power delivery and still tons of top end, the motor also features a minimised the outer diameter, shedding the useless can and shrinking the length as much as the rules allow to. The small package drops the weight more than 17 percent from SMC’s Totemic Modified platform. And by utilising the new diameter, the mounting holes are offset to lower the motor in the motor mount. This leads to a light motor slung way down in your chassis.
