Tekno RC SCT410 2.0

Tekno RC has announced the launch of its latest creation the SCT410 2.0 1:10 Short Course Truck. Building on the success of their SCT410.3, released nearly nine years ago, the SCT410 2.0 is designed to cater to RC racers and enthusiasts seeking a well handling, nearly indestructible vehicle built to withstand the harshest bashing and most competitive race conditions. It has undergone over two years of meticulous testing and development to ensure it stands as a true successor to the beloved SCT410.3. This new platform, derived from Tekno RC’s highly successful 2.1 1:8 racing vehicles, aims to maintain the legendary durability of its predecessor while introducing a range of enhanced features and improved handling. Positioned as the go-to option for extreme environments, the SCT410 2.0 does not replace the highly successful SCT410SL but complements it, providing a robust and durable alternative for outdoor racing and bashing conditions.

JConcepts S15 B6.4 & B74.2 bodies

Debuting at the recent 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, JConcepts has officially released its S15 body for both the Team Associated B6.4 2WD & B74.2 4WD buggies. Designed, built, and produced in the 11^th hour, the new S15 body is available for both the standard and Dirt versions of both chassis. With successful designs coming from the Punisher, Finnisher, and Silencer line, the JConcepts crew made the decision, it was time for the S15. Incorporating lessons from the lineage, the team concentrated on the single cock-pit placement, deflection angles, hard edged (JConcepts chamfering), and side pod winglets. The single side window design is a departure from the usual JC team body shells but drops in nicely on the S15. Driving the S15, it performs like a champion, albeit slightly different than its predecessors, the delicate nature of the shell allows the driver to flow, drive smoothly, and radius difficult corners without over aggression.

Just insert the Buggy Clutch Spring Tool in the crankshaft, turn counterclockwise until you hook the spring and push until the shoe and spring will go into position, to disassemble repeat the same process but instead of pushing you’ll have to pull. It is suitable for all nitro engines from .12 to .30.
