Has anyone had any "squeaking" issues with the front axles after running in very loose dirt?

Check and make sure you don't have an SC10 4x4 stuck in there somewhere. :)

You won't have that problem with Anderson PowerPoles. They use a mechanical crimp, no solder to break or melt. Very good quality and reliable. Just make sure you use the recommended crimper.

OMG THAT'S FRICKEN FUNNY!!!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Heavy Duty Servo Saver Spring...
 

I've noticed that with the new spring tightened down 4mm, I have responsive steering and yet some confidence that there is some servo protection if needed.

Worthwhile upgrade for $4.59...

I do and wouldnt switch back if you paid me to .......

Spring rates are typically set or specified using some of the same methods.
There are 3 things that effect spring rate:
1) Diameter of Wire, 2) Diameter of Spring, 3)Number of active coils or height.

Diameter of the wire: itself affects the spring rate because when diameter of the wire increases it gets stronger, meaning a wire which is harder to compress. So, if we know that a wire becomes harder when its diameter increases, we can say that: When wire diameter increases, spring rate increases.

2. Diameter of the spring: That is in fact 'the mean diameter of the spring', achieved by subtracting the diameter of the wire from diameter of the spring:
The overall outside diameter of the spring (mm) - diameter of the wire (mm)
When diameter of the suspension spring increases, the spring rate decreases.

3. Number of Active Coils (length / height of the coil spring): Determination of the active coil number varies according to spring design. As the number of active coil decrease, the spring rate increases.

Anybody run this with the Revtech 4XS 4800? I've got that with 5500 90c Orion saddle packs in my SC104x4 Would that be enough motor and battery to hang with the crowd on a big track?

I've got the exotek on the SC10 and it seems to scoot it around pretty well, more concerned about motor temps in a big race coming up in the GA heat.

I am having a brain fart at the moment but when using the tekno machined pistons does the round part of the piston go on the top of the shaft or bottom? I am 99% sure its the bottom but I just want to double check. Thanks.

The conical cone of piston pointed down when in the shock body

Check the bearings?

Are any of you running O-rings on the external shock shaft to limit travel and are any of you unscrewing the shock ends to gain more droop? Thanks

Only for those that are running their Teknos as rock crawlers. ;)
In all seriousness I think you will find the truck has plenty of droop allowing the user to dial in less droop based on track bite, driving style, etc. So bottom out those shock ends!!
Also, 2 orings seems to be the ticket, but when the new shock guide comes out from Tekno (see a few pages back) the new setup will be zero orings (if you were previously running 2).

This truck has so much droop! I had to take quite a bit out of it with the droop screws and I don't run on a high bite track. Med traction dirt.

I think early in the thread about April/May time frame some had talked about running no o-rings for Outdoors and then for indoor high bite tracks they were running (2) orings.

I'm currently running no orings, since most of my racing is all outdoors.

In a couple weeks I'll be visiting family in Wi and curious to see how my Tekno does at Trackside in Milwaukee, since it's an indoor top soil track.
