Just replacement parts for my Tekno. Always keep a spare parts
Durable enough? Never had mud guards before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but these are Lexan so they're likely not as tough as the guards made from polypropylene or whatever thermoplastic guards are typically molded out of. Probably been running mine for about 2-3 gallons of fuel so far till I removed them to replace diff/pinion bearings the other day. My mud guards developed cracks from the screw holes, and some of the plastic broke away between the screw holes and the edge, but neither guard fully broke off the vehicle (NB48), so I suppose they've done their job. Wish they didn't add steps to accessing the rear diff since I remove the sway bar link from the control arm, but that's not a big deal. I'm hoping to find a set of guards made from poly that I can drill holes in, if need be, to make them fit my Tekno. In the meantime, I doubt I'll reinstall these since they'd be depending on friction alone from the screw heads to hold them on, rather than being captive to a full ear of plastic.
No screws included unfortunately, only reason they get 4 stars
Three verified owners rated these Lexan rear arm mud guards 4 or 5 out of 5. Reviewers reported they are replacement parts for Tekno RC vehicles. One reviewer, who ran them for roughly 2-3 gallons of fuel, saw cracking around the screw holes and some plastic breaking away near the edges, though neither guard detached from the NB48. That reviewer also noted the guards add steps when accessing the rear diff. Another reviewer lowered their rating because no screws are included. Reviews are few, and durability evidence comes from a single owner.
