For the pivot ball, put a washer underneath. That should solve that.

For the spring and spring perch - that's a first, never seen that before. Does it happen all the time? Faulty spring or spring perch? You're right, it's weird.

Unrelated, but can't stress enough how much better the truck will be with the shock boots. Your shocks will stay 10 times better if you run the boots.

- I'm indoor clay. no dust, no duff. I think the boots are very unnecessary. Is there something more to that then just keeping them clean? I don't like how shocks feel with boots.

- Shock Cup happened twice, then hasn't happened for a stretch of time. Not sure on that.

- A washer on that makes the screw too short. So I just wanted to alert to the possible problem with that. I put a washer on it already and it works fine with a longer screw. No worries, just wanted to 'heads up'.

Go to bed, Tekno! haha.

I don't have this happen to me but I have washers between the plastic and end ball (see below, spacers are there to level the arm) is it possible you over torque it?

Naw. Didn't over tighten it. And your horn is different than mine, my servo turnbuckle mounts below, not above so spacers are not necessary. Although, thinking about it. It might be a resolution. Thanks

As luck would have it my son's bday party is Saturday afternoon. I'm thinking about trying to show up after the party and hopefully get in 1 round of qualifying and the main. I really want to see how this bad boy shakes out.

Congrats on the win! Sound like you have Mike's number right now. I got to drive with Mike on Monday...he was out screwing around, but I did get a couple good laps with him and the Tekno was looking good.

I really don't think you want the Tekno...just go ahead an sell it once it arrives...give the other guys in the class a chance! Stay with the 'rango. You'll be even more lethal with the Tekno.

I know some of these are old, but I wanted to respond. Now i'm 100% up to date and want to Be a rolling part of this truck's future.

Thank you dude. Alot of the things I designed and brought up, or did for people was lost in translation or stolen by others. People don't seem to realize that, but that's okay. I get thanks at the track, so it's all good.

Yeah, I'm Shaun. I forgot to order your bolts! :ha:

I'm running +3's right now because I have an entire fkn box of them from my SC10's. :( Gotta run 'em out somehow.

Yesssssssss.

That's odd. All I did was went down to 5k in the front and the truck is alive now. Very tight Indoor Clay. Thicker and it's a pig.

Conditions?

What Bar... Because any chick that is impressed with a Guy who drove a Toy Car faster than some other guy is a MTHRFKN Keeper. :D

On other things.
- I'm just not sure i'm comfortable paying 25.00$ for a set of pistons. CNC'd or not, I just don't think i'm going to be able to come to justify that price, ever.
- Springs are a littly spendy, but i'm sure more true, set to set than some others...
- Sway's are priced right.
- Your AL is just a smidge over typical pricing.

I know you guys aren't AE, but You've sold thousands of these things now and we 'want' to support you. Thoughts?

If anyone is interested. I run on a track with little to no traction, hard packed with light dust on top, fluff on the outside. I had a lot of loose rear end for a while. I got that s*** locked down. Rear hubs forward, no anti squat, camber links in on hubs, inside top on tower, took out all the droop. I had so much rear traction this thing pushed like a dump truck.....I smiled the whole time, it was loose on my for weeks (i don't get a lot of test and tune time). Moved the camber links down in tower, swept the front arms forward, went back to 100% on dual rate, 2000k in rear. Holy crap was this thing on fire.
Let a better drive squeeze on it, all i kept saying was "I didn't know it could do that, I didn't know it could do that". I can make pretty good laps, but he was killing it. Gonna try 5/10/2 next. That's what i run in my EB48, it's nice.

ive been running the 10/10/5 on a high/medium high bite setup medium/large indoor track. same layout as the C.R.C.R.C midwest electric champs was just ran on. you can see the layout and video of track on youtube....my youtube is channel is danknuggler......doesnt feel like a pig at all!!! i feel thicker made it come alive and not diff out

You got it locked down?!?!? lol no love!

By "took out all the droop" you mean the oposite right. You are running full droop right? (maximum down travel)

You should fill out a setup sheet and post it, or email it to me! lol

nice update on first page. better then i expected

Im running the newer 13mm Torque rotor in it. I like it much better than my 4 pole and its not to bad with heat. I get off the track after 6mins about 155. Running a 16T pinion.
