Tekno RC NB48 2.2 1:8 Nitro Buggy
Tekno RC has announced the release of its latest 1:8 Nitro buggy, the NB48 2.2. Following more than two years of rigorous testing and development on tracks across the world, this is the seventh revision of the NB48 series. Leveraging valuable feedback from team drivers and customers, the NB48 2.2 has already proven its potential by clinching the 2024 ROAR 1:8 Fuel Off-Road Nationals and securing podium finishes in seven out of the past ten major US 1:8 events. Key enhancements include the new flex-tuned split design 7075 CNC machined shock towers, which significantly improve traction and predictability, and the new 93.5mm rear universal drive shafts that boost stability and support. Other notable features of the NB48 2.2 include precision molded shock pistons and guides that minimise internal friction for better bump handling, and reduced ackermann spindle plates that provide smooth, predictable steering with enhanced mid-corner wheel support.
The adjustable sway bar deadband bushings now allow the suspension to move more freely before engagement, improving bump handling and consistency. Additionally, the revised -2mm front/rear bulkheads and rear hubs work in tandem with the revised LRC spindles to offer a smoother, more refined driving experience. Durability has been a key focus of Tekno RC and the development of the NB48 2.2 is no different. Revised shock standoffs with M4 screws and new Inner Hinge Pin Sleeves enhance the vehicle’s longevity, while the new race-tuned setup incorporates all the latest components for unparalleled performance. Tekno RC claim this focused approach to design ensures that the NB48 2.2 is not only the fastest but also the most reliable 1:8 buggy they have ever produced.
