Just got some wing mounts in black for my B4.2, look cool but think they might help give a little more support to the rear shock tower??

Not at the moment, but I will mention it at the next meeting.

Paul..........when can we expect the release of the new Tekno 8th scale EB-48 body?
Finishing it up this week; so in the next 2 weeks.

Not sure what type of support you are looking for? It should stiffen up the tower a little bit, but it's not going to really help support the shock mounting portion.

Anodizing Titanium is a lot different than aluminum and we won't be getting involved in that. Plus black turnbuckles just make them look like rtr steel ones.

Be careful, they bend very easy. I have gone through 4 sets. I finally gave up and went back to the plastic kit ones. They weren't even hard wrecks either. The tabs that the wing mounts to bends very easily.

One day it just so happened that a rep for JConcepts stopped at my local track, he was actually involved with product design and I had the pleasure of showing him, he was quite surprised.

Will the RC8.2 Punisher (Nitro) body fit on the RC8.2E kit?

Yeah. I got a little confused on what bodies listed on tower fit the 8.2e. I thought there was a finnisher body for the 8.2e?

The Punisher is the same between the Nitro and Electric but the Finnisher is not. I just have one of each painted up and I would guess that the Nitro body will not fit the electric unless you have very small/low batteries.

Any chance of improving the quality of the sc cc foams? They go dead way to fast, to the point where I have to buy aka or proline foams when I purchase jc tires just so I don't have to re foam them right away.

The difficult thing is it's happening randomly, so when making thousands of inserts, we have trouble finding the bad ones as they all feel close to the same.

That said, we are working on an updated material and new supplier and preliminary test has been very good.
