How many world class drivers do you see racing short course trucks? This is SoCal, everybody is fast, sponsored or not.

You don't see Schumacher and Serpent winning a ton of races, but you will be hard pressed to say that that they do not create some of the best cars on the market.

What separates the Tekno SCT from others are the attention to detail, build quality, durability and a supreme focus on performance.

I am sure that in time, Tekno RC will grow to a level to accommodate world class drivers who will win on a world class level.

Since i don't really have the option to "try before i buy", i figure i'll get the sct410 first then eb48 later if i like the platform. Will be much cheaper to try the sct410, since i already have the electronics leftover from my scte.

Btw i'm really anxious to see how it does since everybody will be getting their's pretty soon.

Apparently, neither did any of the 1/8 e-buggies from other manufacturers, even though the SCT-410 has been faster than pretty much all of them.

C'mon Jeff... you've been doing this long enough to know that its 90% driver anyways...
Look at what Felix does with a Traxxas Rustler in mod truck, and he destroyed us plenty of times in a Slash 4x4.

I didnt have any trouble against the MIP Losi's last weekend at Super Cup.

I dont see this truck being as significant as say, the Losi was against the current (then) crop of 4x4's of Slashs and Ofna's and Jammins.
Losi had the right idea, they just used cheap materials that were never meant to take the abuse and power that this class makes.
Then they nickle and dime ya to death with the TLR upgrades for every little piece that SHOULD have been stock.

Tekno's truck, in my opinion, will be very good out of the box, but wont suffer from the diff pins/shock towers/bumpers/wrong rate springs/ and slopped out rod ends that the Losi's been plagued with.

Its going to be just as fast, or faster, than a full TLR hopped up Losi, and way more durable in the drivetrain department.

+1 it's all about the driver :nod:

Tekno guys, what's a good gearing for Pro4 4600kv?

Go to bed! Haha

Very well said. This truck doesn't have to win a nationals or worlds event to be a proven winner. The normal every day driver that runs in sportsman classes that can put this on a podium and doesn't have to worry about repairs all the time is the true testament of the truck's capability to me. A pro like Cav or Mayfield can podium with just about any brand truck if it stays together. It's the normal guys that put a truck through it's paces. Not a pro who will wreck once in a 45 minute main...

So in other words I welcome this truck to the SCT class. I think it will be a great addition and it should be reliable and fast being that it's based off of a already proven platform. I for one will keep my SCTE even though I am planning on buying a SCT410. I have too much in my losi to sell it for nothing. They are everywhere for sale now that there are more sct offerings out there. I wish Danny and the whole Tekno team nothing but the best with this truck. It looks great and I'm sure it will win it's fair share of races once it's been out for a little bit....:nod:

Yes I know but I was answering a question regarding the pro drivers. The pro driven tekno got beat by a pro driven Mip losi.

Im actually considering one. I actually want a tekno eb48 buggy first for mills pond.

Well, I beat an EB48 and an MP9 with a Duratrax; does that make the Tekno or Kyosho cars any less competitive?

lol.

I think the big thing is how did the vehicle look going around the track in comparison to the competition. An expert driver can make a vehicle turn fast laps even when it doesn't seem fully dialed. The sc10 4x4 at times comes to mind.

No you must be a great driver..

Offtopic but so glad I got rid of the AE.

Ok back on subject sorry bout that guys.

Yes but only at that moment because you can't drive 3 cars at once. What I just said makes no sense but then again neither does all the money I've spent on my SCTE. :weird:

lol
