Tekno ET/NT 2.0 Universal Driveshaft Set

Tekno RC has announced Universal Driveshafts for the ET48 2.0 and NT48 2.0 1:8 Truggy. These new universal driveshafts are black oxidised for wear resistance and CNC machined from high-quality alloy steel, living up to Tekno RC’s reputation for durability and fit-and-finish. Due to the universal driveshaft’s design, little maintenance is necessary, and dirt and dust won’t impede the joint’s functionality. On bumpy and rough tracks, universal driveshafts perform well as the suspension is able to function more effectively without the extra binding of a CVA assembly. As a result, the truck can absorb bumps better and is less likely to “grab a rut” and flip over when cornering. These new universal driveshafts are a direct replacement for the stock CVAs and only require one additional 12x21x5 bearing per axle.

MXLR A800R ShockVac

MXLR has released the Awesomatix A800R ShockVac, a specially designed case which holds the newly designed Awesomatix dampers in upright position to suck the air out of the case/silicone oil by using one of the popular brand Air Removers. With the all new design of these dampers its very hard to put them into the case of a normal air remover. The solution is our super slim design ShockVac. Reliable and stable positioning to fit perfectly under the upper case of the Air Remover. The solid alloy case allows a deep and lasting vacuum which is key to get all the small air bubbles out of the complex A800R dampers. Additionally it’s very handy in size which means it doesn’t take as much space on your pit table while working and is easy to store it in your race bag. The ShockVac is machined from high quality black anodised aluminium with silver edges and laser engraved MX logo. It is important to note that the upper case, the rubber sealing and the vacuum pump itself is NOT included in this set and require the parts from the RIDE or the Tamiya Air Remover set.
