Default RC8BE Tekno V4 chassis

Just ordered the V4 chassis lastnight for my buggy, currently running the V3 chassis with great performance and durability!

I heard about the V4 chassis about a month ago and signed up for release notification on Tekno's web site and waited all this time then I go on Amain lastnight and they have them in stock!!! For $125 can't wait to test it out.

I have 4 digital scales I use to scale my rides. So I will have pictures of the V3 vs V4 weight distribution claims of 50/50/50.

See the initial weight data on page 2 v3 vs v4.

Let me know how you like it. I'm currently using a V3 and the V4 update looks awesome.

The scales I use are called Digital scales! Lol! what a creative name!
$7 to $12 each on ebay.

Here is a picture of my Beyond Factory Team RC18T2 on the scales!

I think you will like the V4. I just got it for my RC8 after using 2 other conversions and the balance of the car is great. Side to side is just about perfect with a 4s, 5000mAh battery, Tekin buggy motor, MMP controller, and a Futaba 3305 servo. The new receiver case doesn't work for Futaba FASST receivers, but that is a minor thing in my book.

I'm looking in to converting my wrecked RC8. It's either gonna be this, or a V3, if I can find one a a decent price. This does look nice, though.

The wing on the 18T2 is a 3 racing. I bought it at toadztoyz.com it's a great store for a lot of parts!

I just have them laying around from 4-5 years ago. No idea where I got them, not going to use them. they might be from a mini inferno.

sorry for the thread hijack.
