I haven't noticed any more substantial degradation in foams of any brand with this truck. Aka and Proline all seem to hold up fine with their standard foams from my personal experience.

really happy with the FTW Diamond back flys nice with all vents cut out!!!!

+1 on the inserts holding up. I'm only running AKA tires right now so I can't speak for the Pro Line or Jconcepts inserts, but so far mine have held up well.

Went to work this weekend. Good thing I got the right tools for the job. SCT410 and a Tekno v4 RC8B. Gotta love seeing the TQ in E-buggy get handed the TQ plaque and a 2nd place plaque at the same time. hahaha

I qualified 4th w/ the buggy and luckily peaked at the right time, I guess. I took the last 2 of 3 A-mains.

BTW... Someone needs to get the plaque guy a spell checker......

Elecrtic ? whuts wrong wit dat ?

etruggy would only need longer chassis and arms!
ONLY "the little word that means a lot"

please post pics of your body with the cutouts! thinking of trying one!

All,

Just want to share an experience I had. If you have SMC packs or a MMP ESC, keep reading. Otherwise, this post will bore you.

So, I recently picked up two brand new 7200mAh SMC packs, and I was having really bad run times, and also some puffing in both brand new packs. Initially I was leaning towards a battery problem as the root-cause. I've sense discovered that the packs are not the problem. They are actually very good.

The puffing bugs me a tad, but according to the owner the puffing is normal in the 7200mAh packs because the cells are larger and barely fit into that form factor, thus the standard swelling shows through the case. A smaller capacity pack has room to swell internally, so you never see it.

The run time issue was caused by the BETA firmware I was using. If you own a MMP and you're running 4-pole, I highly suggest you avoid any of the BETA firmware. As soon as I switched to the newest non-BETA package, the issue went away.

Hope this helps someone.

When we were at the motodome race together, i was running a Tekin 4600Kv Pro4 with I think gearing of about 15T / 44. Part of it may be that i have heard the HW motors have a thicker rotor and / or longer one?

Speedwise It felt great, i was topping out down the longest straight where I needed to be. I have a Pro4 HD on the way however that I want to try out, and who knows, maybe it will end up in the E-buggy instead.

Is there a code or something needed, when I got to that link and select anything I don't see anything 20% as far as parts go for the sct410 or EB48?


Not sure how the charger is showing it (by cell or pack), but I am thinking pack, and if so (Hyperion charger) my Promatch 7200s show a resistance of 2 millohm.

thanks, i'll give that a shot. i had updated to latest beta firmware and i feel i should have gotten longer run times.

IDK what happened to the link but if you wait for it to come around on the home page slider it has a link to all their stuff and it is all the right price.

That story about puffing being "normal" seems like total BS to me. I run soft case packs with no hard case shell to hide swollen cells, and a good pack doesn't swell at all. If they consider swelling "normal" then that is a brand to avoid IMO. I have some Hyperion and Thunder Power packs as well as some Sky Lipo packs (cheap) that have many months of racing on them and no swelling at all.

Just my opinion. But if it were me I would take my money to a brand that doesn't sell packs that puff and consider it normal.

I knew there was a reason I was waiting! Amain order has been placed...Thanks Tekno!

good job.......and hahahahahaha "elecrtic"

Sweet, that means my backorder should be shipped from Tekno direct now too. Can't wait to get the new truck built so both my wife and I can be driving these (she had my old SCTE until we sold it). :)
