I noticed in the option parts, that the hinge pin holders only come in pairs.
Since we already have 1 on the truck (thanks for adding that), is there a plan to make the other half available separately?

I am in for just the FR and RR RF. Maybe sell a upgrade kit Tekno?

I seem to pull a bit more power now than with the 13t on the SCTE and gain a little more speed, but I'd say it is the best starting point for anything but a wide open outdoor or really tight indoor track.

Thanks....

I just put some SC104x4 Aluminum wheel hexes on the truck and i measured them up. They are 1.7mm wider each side than the stock setup. I filed the back down and made them 1.3mm wider than stock per side. Hopefully that is still in the legal limit.

BTW...Hopefully I will have a setup on the Tekno website later this week. I am sure Danny will share it when I get it up there. Busy at work and have the Reedy race this week! The truck is amazing though! Cant wait to race it again!

Thanks. I checked out the EB48 thread and there are a few running the Activ8. It's a tight fit from what they say but it fits and that's good enough for me.

I bought two of the SMC 6500mah 2s packs this week. I normally use the Gen Ace 5000mah 50c 2s packs and I really wish I would have saved my cash and stayed with Gen Ace. The SMC packs were soft, weak acceleration compared to the GA. On our indoor track (75'x35') I was right at .70 slower with the SMC packs. That's a huge loss in lap time. I sold the packs at the track the first day I tried them.

At first the price of $399 didn't seem too bad, but when you look at adding aluminum hinge pin holders ($43 x 2 front & rear = $86), aluminum ackerman $25 and aluminum shock caps......

They should have just included at least the hinge pin holders and charged $50 more, a few people have already tore up the plastic parts.
