Hinge Pin Brace (wide pivot, -1mm, C Block, EB/NB48 2.1+) - TKR9163BW

The TKR9163BW Wide Pivot Hinge Pin Brace is an integral component of the new Tekno RC Wide Pivot chassis system and must be used in conjunction with the wide pivot rear suspension arms (TKR9184W – sold separately). This 7075 aluminum hinge pin brace with a -1mm offset has been specifically designed to support the Wide Pivot layout and open up the rear suspension.

The TKR9163BW is the less aggressive -1mm variant of the Wide Pivot C Block system and is ideal for medium to high grip conditions on Astro tracks and prepared race tracks. Tekno RC recommends the -1mm variant for very loose conditions or tracks with mainly 180° turns, where maximum control over aggressive grip support is preferred.
