Tekno EB/NB48 split shock towers & shock standoffs

Tekno RC is pleased to announce the availability of new split shock towers and shock standoffs for their EB/NB48 2.x 1:8 buggies. These redesigned towers are lighter than the 2.1 stock towers and flex-tuned for better rough track handling. Throughout testing we found the car to be more forgiving, and easier to push for improved lap times. They are CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, gunmetal anodised, and are a direct replacement for kit towers. No additional hardware is necessary. With the new shock standoffs, instead of the previously used M4 nut, these standoffs attach to the shock tower with an M4 screw for improved durability. Tests have shown them to be significantly stronger and more likely to withstand a direct impact. These new standoffs are CNC machined from high-quality steel and have a keyed shaft that accommodates a Turnbuckle Wrench for easy installation.

Custom Works BEAST Midget 1:10 dirt oval kit

After more then a year of development, culminating in a 1, 2 finish at this year’s Motorama Nationals, Custom Works has released the new BEAST Midget kit. Designed and optimized for the growing 1:10 Midget Spec class, the North Carolina based manufacturer tested several different suspension and chassis options before landing back on a platform very similar to their successful Outlaw 5 Sprint kit. The benefit of this is that a majority of the parts used on the BEAST are probably already in many racers spare parts box. The BEAST is well suited for loose dirt style tracks and high bite surfaces that typically use 2.2 buggy styled rubber tire. With it’s heritage based off of the successful Outlaw Sprint car this new Beast Midget kit comes with several different parts and features to make it perfectly suited for the growing 1:10 Midget Spec Class of racing.
