TKR9416B – Gearbox (-2mm, F/R, EB/NB/ET/NT48 2.x)

Tekno RC is pleased to announce the availability of a new -2mm gear box for all 2.X 1/8th scale vehicles! This new gearbox lowers the diff height, which improves bump handling and provides a smoother, more consistent driving experience, especially mid-corner. TKR9416B requires the new TKR9017B bulkhead cover and 2ea TKRBB05145 5x14x5 ball bearings.

To avoid contact with the chassis, Tekno RC NB48 2.X buggies require a light grind (removing roughly 0.5mm of material) on the chassis below the ring gear. TKR9416B is a direct drop in for the EB/ET/NT48 2.X 1/8th scale vehicles and no modifications are necessary. 

We recommend utilizing TKR9054B +/-2 rear hubs when using this new gearbox with the NB/EB48 buggies. The combination of TKR9416B and TKR9054B improves overall grip, stability, and predictability in the rear end. 

Recommended to use with:
TKR9054B – Rear Hubs and Bearing Spacers  (+/-2mm, adj roll center, L/R, EB/NB48 2.1)
TKR9017B – Sway Bar and Bulkhead Acc (for -2mm bulkheads)
TKR9284B – Suspension Arms (revised, rear, EB/NB48 2.1)
