Fresh off of their MT410 Monster Truck release, Tekno RC has announced an update to their competition-focused EB48 buggy. The updated model, the EB48.4, is a ⅛-scale electric kit that features a variety of updated components and chassis elements.

Among the new hardware pieces are a new chassis, revised steering and suspension geometry, a refined drivetrain and new aluminum bleeder shock caps allowing you to fine-tune the handling of this buggy to suit track conditions and driving styles.
