Overview
The Ackerman plate is the bridge that ties the two steering bellcranks together, and it sets how the left and right wheels turn relative to each other. This Tekno RC version is machined from aluminum and anodized in the brand's gun metal finish for the EB48 1/8 scale buggy.
Swapping a flexing or worn plate for an aluminum one tightens up the whole steering assembly. Inputs reach the wheels with less deflection, which shows up as a more direct feel on the wheel and more consistent turn-in.
Key Features
- Aluminum construction for stiffness and durability
- Gun metal anodized finish matching other Tekno RC parts
- Direct-fit Ackerman plate for the Tekno EB48
- Genuine Tekno RC option part
Performance Benefits
- Less flex in the steering linkage means sharper, more direct response
- Holds Ackerman geometry under load instead of deflecting mid-corner
- Aluminum survives impacts that crack or distort softer plates
- More repeatable steering makes chassis setup changes easier to read
Usage Notes
- Designed for the Tekno EB48 1/8 buggy steering assembly
- Re-check steering trim and endpoints after installation
- Make sure the bellcranks still move freely with no bind at full lock
- Keep the pivot hardware clean and correctly torqued
