Tekno RC have introduced the NB48, a completely new 1/8th nitro buggy built on their EB48 and SCT410 platform. The chassis has ideal weight distribution side-to-side due to creating an all new mid-offset rear bulkhead and ring gear which moves the engine closer to the centre without overloading the right side. It also minimizes drive angles and wear on the center dog bones so the drivetrain is as free as can be without sacrificing chassis layout and weight balance on the very narrow 4mm 7075 CNC hard anodized aluminum chassis. The engine can be mounted in two positions, a front position and an 18mm offset rear position. Under most conditions the motor forward produces the fastest cornering and subsequent lap times while in very bumpy or very loose conditions testing shows the rear engine position can be easier to drive.
