Tekno carbon fibre shock towers & wheel wrench

Tekno RC have new optional shock towers for the EB48SL and the SCT410.3 as well as a 17mm wheel wrench and shock cap tool available. Starting with the shock towers, coming for the front and rear of the company’s 1/10th short course truck and 1/8th super light buggy, the towers are are made from super tough 5mm carbon material and they are 6mm lower than the stock parts for a lower centre of gravity and thus improved handling. Scrubbing 6 grams of weight per tower they also make for a lower overall weight and they should only be used with the TKR5516 front suspension arms and TKR5515 rear suspension arms.

As for the new tool, the 17mm wheel wrench features an unique handle design that is comfortable in the hand and provides much more leverage versus traditional designs. This is accomplished by a longer handle that has ergonomic chamfering throughout to deliver. The wrench also doubles as a shock tool to help aid in the removal and installation of Tekno RC shock caps. Just flip the wrench over and the oval slot on the top fits perfectly over a shock mounting boss on any of the company’s caps. Laser etched markings and a two tone anodised finish help make the tool look good and easy to spot.
