Tekno 1/8th HRC rear hubs & universal driveshafts

Tekno have announced the addition of five new products to their lineup in the form of high roll centre rear hubs, front/rear universal driveshafts for the NT48.3 and ET48.3 truggies as well as three centre universal driveshafts to improve the consistency of the NB48.3 and NT48.3 driveline. Starting with the rear hubs, by lowering the hinge pin location compared to the stock rear hubs, Tekno have raised the rear roll centre in just the right place. The HRC variants increase on-power traction and stability while decreasing body roll. All of this with improved rotation into a corner and no compromise in on-power steering. To reduce wear and increase part lifespan, they are moulded from durable nylon and include locations for hinge pin set screws. The parts work both left and right, with CV or universal driveshafts and on all of Tekno’s 1/8th scale kits.

The battery plate comes with three blue anodised aluminium battery stoppers, it is usable with both the B6 and B6D and it supports all of the original battery layouts.
