Tekno RC NB48 2.0 1/8 Competition Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit

Extreme Durability Paired With Performance Handling

The Tekno NB48 2.0 1/8 Competition Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit features a ground-up original design, with almost every element of this buggy being evaluated, tested, and retooled. This buggy is the result of over a full years worth of research and on-track testing. After many visions and revisions, Tekno has created a vehicle that maintains the quality, durability, and fit-and-finish they are known for while dramatically improving this model's consistency and handling. From large noticeable changes to fine one to two millimeter adjustments, this buggy has been fine-tuned to deliver a significantly improved driving experience.

About the NB48 2.0

Differentials

The 2.0 differential boasts approximately 35% larger oil capacity than the NB48.4 units. This not only enhances consistency during extended mains but also prolongs the intervals between rebuilds. Throughout Tekno's extensive testing phase, they encountered no instances of 'cooked differentials,' and the oil remained exceptionally clean in comparison to any other observations they have made.

Bulkheads

Within the bulkhead, a larger inner bearing provides support for the differential pinion gear. The bearings have been strategically relocated, significantly reducing the likelihood of pinion bearing failure. As with their earlier vehicles, the Tekno team invested substantial effort in refining tolerances and gear mesh to minimize the requirement for intricate differential shimming. Consistent with their approach in other vehicles, the bulkheads are entirely sealed off from dirt and dust, achieved through precisely fitting bottom and outer bulkhead covers. While this feature might be overlooked or deemed unnecessary by some, it serves as one less concern for racers navigating challenging elements.

Chassis

Tekno opted for an entirely redesigned 3mm chassis, meticulously CNC machined from 7075 aluminum and hard anodized for extended durability. The novel chassis design is one millimeter slimmer while significantly broader, aiming to diminish twitchiness and enhance handling and flex characteristics, especially on rough tracks.
