Question for the guys with Aluminum shock caps. I bought them because I like all aluminum shocks, I'm not a fan of plastic caps, cartridges and adjusters. Never had a problem with the stock, as far as setups. I tried to set the rebound with them and I can't get them to hold. They seem like they are sealing, but they won't rebound to where I set them. There is NO REBOUND. They stay all the way in the compressed position. All four do the same thing. I've rebuilt them twice now using all new orings and it's the same result every time.

When you put the bladder on did you leave the shock shaft all thee way out or did you push it up? Leaving it all the way down will give lots of rebound..................

Well, I guess waiting for the EB48 to come back in stock pushed me to what is....the 410!! Ordered one (cough cough for my son) last night. I am sure I will be buying a second on for myself soon.

Well, good thing "no rebound" is what Tekno suggests :-)

You need to plug the hole on top of the cap (where the shock bushing sits) if you want more rebound. The vented top design produces very little rebound.

I am normally running 1/4 rebound in the front and 1/2 in the rear. I am going to try it first to make sure they are completely sealed first then ill try to plug the holes see if I can get the rebound back to what I'm used to if they don't work right.

Here is the setup for the guy at the track that asked sorry I forgot your name. I ran nothing crazy small change from stock.
i was wondering what the ride height ,droop, and camber was for that setup. it wasn't listed on the sheet. I have been getting a bad nose dive from mine and would like to see if i am far off on something.
thanks

I fixed my nose dive issue by going to green Tekno springs in the back with 30wt AE oil. Might go up a little on oil though.

Default Springs

What springs are good for 1/8 outdoor bumpy track, front, back?

What springs are good for indoor track...smooth, high bite?

How can I control the nose dive?

I just bought the lightened chassis, good choice?

Hello,

What are yous doing about motor fan placement? I just finished building mine and noticed there really isn't a good place for mounting a fan to expel heat off the motor. Any pics or info would be appreciated

Thank you.

Got a reply from Tekno. Apparently they have seen this before where the kit comes with two rear mounts instead of one each. Tekno will be sending me one out. No hard feelings on my part since I am still waiting on electronics and Tekno is going to make it right.

For being my first kit build, I think it went pretty good. Except for when I thought I had a bad spur gear/diff build, heard it rubbing against the top plate, rebuilt the diff, same noise. Turned out there was a small piece of plastic hanging and rubbing on the gear. Should of seem the look on my face. Both before and after. Priceless.

Vegatron or sickpuppy, do either one of you have extra axles? I'm finally able to race this Wednesday, but I managed to break an axle tonight when I was at the track.

Fastlane doesn't have any, so I have replacements on the way, but I'm dead in the water right now. I could either pay you for yours or give you one of my replacements when they show up.

Let me know if either one of you can help.
