maybe more droop will help you out.

Same. Bugs me a tad but I forget the second it hits the track. Doesn't bug me enough to file it lol

It's certainly easy enough to try. Any idea how much to increase the droop! Should I start at like 100-118 or do I need to make bigger changes to see the effect?

Paul, take note that the only item I didn't list was the motor I've got faith the motor isn't the issue. Need better packs.

What batteries are you using?

Just a thought,I switched from a Pro-4 4600 to a HW 4000kv and the difference is this. With the Tekin 4600 I would drop my EPA down to 132 from 140 to start the day and end up by the main back @140%.With the HW (both with a 14 tooth pinion)I started at 140 and kept dropping it to get the power down proper and get the truck to settle a bit,ended up at 125% and left it there.One very fast motor and stays at 125-130 deg. pack after pack. This is not in a Tekno (yet) ..LOL.. Have not seen the results from JBRL but rumor is that 14 yr old Rudy Rico landed his Tekno truck in the A main and finished 6th??.Cheers!!

Personal preference is to get as much power as I can and when I go to a lower grip outdoor track play with throttle profile and/or current limit.
I find the throttle profile adjustment to be much more effective than expo on the tx.
Have actually been playing with no current limit, high timing and THP at 2 and like it. Smooth if you want it but grab a hand full and your off like a rocket.
No time limit of current. It's 100% if your throttle finger asks for it. Current limit limits you to the value you set it at for a few feet of the initial pull on throttle.

I felt the hobbywing 4000Kv felt a little soft on power for my tastes. I had to go full throttle and turn my punch control almost off to get the power i needed to make a double right after a hairpin. I was geared @ 16t on a medium sized indoor clay track. Motor had awesome top end, just lacked a lot of the punch i'm used to (tenshock 4600). I'm almost positive the reason my motor felt gutless was due to my season-old nanotec packs. I'll have some smc 6500 race specs as soon as they're back in stock. If anything, i bet that's my problem. I will comment on how efficient it was. Only put 2500mah back into my nano's after a 6 min main.

I never measured it, what's the max droop on this truck? If you're at 102/120 I'd try 105/123 and see what it does. It didn't seem like you have to adjust it much to see a difference.

If you have a rough surface and big jumps that's what I'd try. At least it's really quick and easy to do.

Where/how do I measure the droop? Do I just measure from shock mount to shock mount with truck lifted (ie: length of shocks fully extended)? The stock setup of 102-120 seems to be the setting with the droop screws all the way out.

Anyone know if its safe to replace the TKR1433 M4 screws in steps J1 and J2 with aluminum?

How about the screws holding steering linkages? TKR1529 in J2 and I4

Camber linkages? TKR1529 in H3?

Otherwise, this is the aluminum screw list.
