Every driver that tested them noticed a positive difference in jumping and highspeed cornering stability. Another thing these allow you to do is to cut less venting holes in your body so your bodies will last longer. So they should pay for themselves rather quickly.

We just finished up testing on them and they should be available a few weeks after launch.

Thanks for the information guys.

Nice touch! I see they have screw holes on the outside as well, are those for attaching it to the bottom of the body with some L-profile?

The holes bolt on to the nerf bars. If you wanted, you could probably make an L bracket and attach it to the body for extreme wind conditions.

Wow! After your post I looked at the nerf bars and see where they attach. That's what I call paying attention to details, hats off to you guys!

How much weight do the air control guards add?

Such a good idea. I thought about this a while ago with the same thinking about getting rid of the chute effect. You guys are doing it right for sure. You should make them for all trucks :)

How do you fit the wind breakers? Are there pics installed?

Potoczak 01-07-2013 05:27 PM

I bet within a month or two there are companies going to make these for every shortcourse truck!! Awesome idea by the way. Can't wait to get them.

Some of the SCT410 springs are 5mm shorter in the front and rear than the EB48(Last six springs on the chart), Spring rates are on the Tekno site here(They are the same on the EB48).
All springs will work on either vehicle.
