I'm thinking about cutting the wheel wells on mine since I'm running 17mm with the EB width. When the tires touch the body on the lip of a jump it causes it to nose dive like crazy. I have a EB and NB, so no reason to go SL with it currently.. if i can cut the wheel wells and stop the running then I'd love to keep the 17mm on there, if not it's back to stock. ]:
So cutting didn't help much for you?

I'll be heading out to the same track with tires made for clay and not the knobbys I had in there previously as well as thicker shock oil... just trying different setups..
What's your take on how this guy handles with the different size wheels?...I've been thinking of picking of some sct wheels to use with the stock 12mm but not sure if I want to spend the $50 or so just for a test...

First have you done the battery back mod? Or replaced the chassis with the M2C battery back pan if you don't want to cut anything.
Have you reduced the anti squat considerably if not? Are you running overly soft springs, or not enough pack pistons?
The nose dive issue isn't an issue at all for those who have done these things.
It just blows my mind how many times these things have been said and are done by many pros who run the TEKNO, yet everyone that complains about these things generally don't do them. There is no secret about it. This truck is nose heavy and needs re-balanced to perform correctly on large jumps and rear end plant. The things I said takes care of this

Once I pick up a dremel I plan on cutting out the back part of the tray for the battery mod. Maybe someone at the track tomorrow will have one I can use after I see how it handles with what I've done with it so far...
I've done the other two already but have not done anything with the anti squat. Can you point me in the direction of how I do that and if I need anything that didn't come with the stock setup to do so?
*edit*. I just got the antisquat moved. Do still have a question for ya regarding placement of the rear holes. Right now I have them on the outer edges. What does bringing the rear inwards do and vice versa?

As a race director, I don't allow anyone to run 1/8 scale 17mm rims and tires on a short course truck. If you are bashing and have a bunch of tires already, go for it!! If you are going to run at a track, ask at the track first if they will allow the buggy rims on a truck. They shouldn't (IMO) but if they do you set.

Here's another video of my SCT410.3 from this wkd killing the Losis on indoor clay track. The truck has the esc mod and receiver box removed for better balance .
YES,I'm a little rough on the white/blue Losi....because he has been racing me that way for the last 3 races !!(really don't like racing that way)
Enjoy...

I'm just at a point of learning all the ins and outs of handling and adjustments... when I'm comfortable with that I'll possibly look into some type of official racing...
Btw Lowe's... I appreciate all I've read from you when going through this thread from the beginning...

Too wide as in illegal for sanctioned racing?...

Do you run a 1:10th or 1:8th motor in your comps?.. I assume 2s as well?

Exactly what I'm doing.. run a battery... adjust something... rinse and repeat... each time I pick up something new and with all the knowledge around here and the interwebs it all makes more sense as things progress...

So the having 17mm hexes on the tekno is fine, if using the DE wheels with SCT tires then eh?
