Press release from Tekno RC:

Tekno RC is happy to announce the release of some new parts that are designed to further enhance the performance of your favorite NB48 2.0 buggy. This release includes carbon fiber shock towers and brass chassis weights.

Improve the look and handling of your NB48 2.0 buggy with carbon fiber shock towers! Not only do these shock towers look great, but they can also improve bump handling and grip by being slightly more compliant than aluminum. When using front and rear carbon towers, the weight of the vehicle is reduced by 50 grams.  This helps to slightly lower the center of gravity and increase corner speed. At 5mm thick they are strong and easily withstand all but the most extreme race incidents. These towers are a direct replacement for the stock aluminum towers (TKR9268 - TKR9269S) and no additional parts are necessary.

Pro-Tip:

Extend the life of your carbon fiber towers by running a bead of super glue (tire glue) around the edges of the tower to help seal and bond the layers.

Durability:

If you’re a beginner or new to racing, please keep in mind that carbon fiber shock towers are not as strong as the stock aluminum.

TKR9269SC – Shock Tower (rear, short, carbon fiber, NB48 2.0)

Fine-tune the balance of your NB48 2.0 and enhance steering with these brass weights. Designed to fit under the steering bell cranks, these CNC machined weights mount directly to the chassis using an M3x10 flat head screw (TKR1323). There is room for one weight so you can choose the 15g or 30g variant depending on your preferences and track conditions.

Pro-Tip:
Use blue Loctite on the screw to ensure it doesn’t come loose.

Additional Requirements:
1ea M3x10 flat head screw (TKR1323).
