Are you sure it isn't coming from the screw holes? The tekno diff housing screw holes go all the way through the housing. I have noticed if I don't blow the oil out once it is assembled with the compressor I get oil splatter. If you don't have a compressor stick you Allen wrench in the hole to get most of it out.

Theres a very slight difference in weight of electronics between 2s & 3s if thats what your getting at. After hours of playing ,, I tried making adjustments to simulate 2s & tekin 4300+. The problem as I see it on the scales is the right front is over loaded with electronics. Also the chassis plate is extended to accommodate the servo. 125 grams is alot .. And Battery mod really only helps balance by about 10-15 grams . Not worth hacking things up for IMO..
Are you running a soft sided 3s pack? What is the weight difference between a standard 2s and the 3s you are running? Either way, like you said, you can't get that battery back far enough to make enough of a difference.

The difference between say a SPC 2s 7200 & SPC 3s 5000 is roughly 60grams . With the 3s coming in heavier. The thing is ,, to balance things out , the 3 s was to light.. So that makes the 2s set up worse yet. I would of had to add a ton of weight to balance this Beast.. Wasn't happening ... This is what pushed me to do the mod.
I just went for it..
I had it out today at the track for the first time ever.. Just drove the damn thing ! Theres a ton of jumps on this track , not much girlie flat stuff ! Triples , Doubles etc .. Never worried about nose dive ! Never did !
Really ran like a champ and i'm totally not used to it....

And appreciate the input.
Something else I have been considering attempting is to re fit that servo in a lay down position to drop more CG.
I am perplexed at the design choice on these short course trucks these days with the stand up style servo mounts.
It's a well known factor to keep CG as low as possible, yet everyone keeps standing them up. It's the exact same reason I play with the inverted shock ordeal. Brings the CG down much lower with a small penalty of unsprung weight increase. One guy I know really picked up his lap times with the inverts on a carpet track, because he can now corner faster than before without flipping.

Mostly to remove any mechanical expo from the steering and make it easier to setup your radio during servo centering and endpoint adjustments, especially the visual aspect of it. Also, at least with our current layout, you'd eat up the already limited space designated for the ESC if the servo were in a laydown position.

I mounted the esc against the guard. I kinda wanted it there for protection against side impact. Also it worked better as far as balance. Esc is about 3/16 from gear . And I agree that its close. I got hit pretty good today from the side and as of now its OK no damage or gear marks on there.. I used kyosho zeal to adhere esc. Like i said though , it stayed put . However I got a hard time trusting 2 faced tape for the long haul ... Was thinking of having one of my buddies Tig a bracket on there ... But to Heavy , Chassis plate warp Blah Blah

A more modular component layout that would allow owners to choose the location of ESC and or servo positioning based on characteristic preferences which would at the same time offer precise balance to be achieved with any choice of electronic component combinations.
Just a thought amongst 100 others I would love to discuss with an outstanding design team like Tekno has with people like yourself.

For instance I made a carbon fiber ESC mount plate for my SCTE that is thinner than double sided tape, yet gives me just enough meat to counter sink a couple taper head screws thought the bottom of it into the ESC case.
The plate it's self is held in place by being mounted beneath the pre-existing
battery blocks so that it sandwiches the plate between it and the chassis pan. No chance of the ESC moving when it's literally hard mounted like that. It also makes it like the Tekno's ESC plate in the way it can be removed from the chassis with a couple screws instead of pealing off and having to remount it will fresh tape or glue.

It can be found here> PZP Etsy Store
I am glad to hear you like the stand and feel like you will really like the revisions I have been making.
As a side note, I wouldn't say I am technically licensed by Tekno, as there was no formal agreement or money exchanged. While they where very kind to allow the use of their logos within the things I create and potentially sell, I am in no way affiliated in legal terms and want that to be known in respect to them. While I will take credit for my original designs, the coolest feature in my eyes is representing their logo, which is why I am posting this here.
Anyhow the stand you see pictured was just a rough cut prototype.
The newer one I will be testing out within the week will have more features and will support many of the Tekno tools with built in holders for each.
Stay tuned to my store for releases as I get things sorted and finalized with the designs I have on the way.
The newest (very soon to be released) item will be two light boxes I designed for work bench display.
The Tekno logo looks killer spread across the edge lit acrylic!
I suspect these will be considerably popular, as there is nothing like them RC specific as far as I know about and many that have seen them have left very positive feedback.
I also plan to make a page on RCtech as well, so as not to thread jack unintentionally. In light of that and out of respect to the users and mods, I would ask that those that have questions please PM me here or better yet on facebook. I can be found on my group (RC Mod Proz)

SPRINGS ???
What are you using as an alternate to the pink springs?
I have my truck set-up to where it handles great. I have been running the black springs front and rear with 35/30 wt oil, ride height at 74. Out track is hard packed (bumpy) and very fast with no large jumps.
I changed to pink springs Friday night and liked the way my truck handled. I could only get the ride ht down to 76. I would like to run the truck lower without changing the shock positions.
Current shock positions:
front> 3/outside
rear > 2/outside

This is actually a common issues, you can sand down the plastic shock retainers that adjust the spring preload to get the ride height down.
