Tekno locking spring perches & rubber shock boots
Tekno RC have new option parts for their line of 1/8th and 1/10th vehicles available. First up is the locking shock rod ends and spring perch set. The all-new design mates up with the company’s new captured shock boots and it will ensure the suspension stays consistent throughout any race or run. The spring perches rest on a shelf around the rod end instead of directly on top of the rod end. The result is less interference from the shock boot and absolutely no sacrifice in up travel. Each spring perch and rod end is also secured by an M3x10mm set screw for added reliability. The rod ends and spring perches are compatible with Tekno’s 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks as well as their 1/10th 4WD SC truck.
Also new are rubber shock boots that are designed to provide protection from dirt and debris. They will keep the suspension system free and consistent without sacrificing any suspension up travel. They are a perfect length fit for their respective shock lengths and won’t be caught or pinched in between the spring perch and rod end during installation. The boots require the locking spring perches and rod ends and should be installed before attaching the shock rod end to the shock shaft. Three different lengths are available to suit the EB/NB 1/8th buggies, ET/NT trucks and Tekno’s 1/10th SC truck.
