I know they are different part numbers and look different too. The axle from my losi fit the bearings well. Just a smaller diameter on the thread part. That why I used the losi clamping wheel hex. It's not a forever fix , just until I get the proper ones .

If you look at all the other weight savings upgrades, besides cutting mud guards and such. this is the cheapest per gram upgrade

Chassis 66 gram savings $120
Drivetrain parts +/- 90 gram savings $110
Pivot balls +/- 40 gram savings $120
Screw kit. 90 gram savings $75

I agree with you completly! My biggest worry is how many times can the alumunim screws be taken out b4 the hex starts to wear out. It happens all the time with strong steel screws. Gotta happen way faster with aluminum but that depends on the alloy. I forgot about that, I used to work at Alcoa a million years ago. Any body know what alloy they are????

I completely get what your saying but those other items also net you a performance gain that less weight alone can't provide...

Did any of you guys get an aluminum front suspension bushing brace inside your kits?

The screws are 7075. Obviously all screw can and will wear out over time, but if you use quality tools and don't gorilla torque them you'll get plenty of use out of them. I've put my screws in and out probably 10 times now and haven't stripped one yet.

How is parts support for this truck? I mean, do you find yourself breaking stuff often and going to the LHS/online store for replacement parts?

I am looking to get a 4wd truck and looking at this truck and the new Ten-SCTE 2.0. Losi parts are always carried at the LHS, not sure about Tekno.

I currently drive an SC10 2wd and I break stuff all the time (truck is so fragile), so parts being readily available is a big deal. Do I need to worry about parts support for a Tekno like I do my SC10??

Is it supposed to be used in place of the plastic one?

I'd give the stock setup a try as it is really good, only thing I've found was I needed a little heavier shock oil in the rear for my track and possibly a little stiffer spring although I haven't had a chance to test the changes yet. And unless you need the stupid amount of steering this truck has I would thicken up the diffs a little, I started with 5-5-3 and it has waaaaaaay to much steering so I'm gonna go a little thicker up front and in the center.

No way was I knocking the quality of your screw kit, I just wanted to know what alloy it was. 7075 is damned strong aluminum. I know you're talking about keeping your hexes in good condition. A worn out tool can turn a screw into junk real fast.
