Thanx, saved.

Got my tekno to the track yesterday and its a badass truck, my rear end was all over the place so I got help from a great driver at my track before the main, did the main and it was still all over the place but it did feel better, was running aka handlebars in clay compound, gonna ditch the clay compounds from now on and try supersoft barcodes next weekend

Just ordered one..... Can't wait! Kinda wish it would put itself together though lol

It wouldn't be fun if you didn't put it together, that's the main point in a kit, as well as knowing your truck off the get go

Yeah, just got done with my eb48 kit, not bad but my hands are still sore lol. I like to put it together by hand vs power tools the first time

You're telling me haha, my first 2 kits were done with the allen keys before I decided to order some MIP drivers, those mini power drills make it look easy, I'm going to have to get 1

Oh yeah :D. I use both a Milwaukee and Hitachi power screwdriver (not the 12volt + models) and they're more than powerful enough for initial assembly before holes are threaded and batteries last a long time. Once you use one you're gonna feel spoiled :nod:.

Vid of the surf city classic pro4?

I have a Milwaukee but am always worried that it may not make the best initial threads, by hand I know I won't screw it up lol. The Milwaukee is awesome though, two lithium batts and its only $100

Medina RC Raceway-- Tekno 1st Race
 

The first race is in the books. Went to Medina Raceway in Medina, OH this Saturday. Chopped up track, big jump into an instant left hand turn and a larger woop section (four woops) that kept everyone slow.

1st time out competitively in twenty years. Ended up fifth out of sixteen SC drivers. Very pleased with the result. I know I was fast enough to be third however in both Mains I was taken out by an old hack. Pissed me off, but that's racing.

The number one issue I had difficulty with was off power nose dives. The truck would always end on its lid. Cost me major positions. I'd like to blame the car however it's mainly driver. My next post will be about the difference in the way I drive vs. the way a friend showed me.

Overall the Tekno was excellent. I've got the truck set up with a little push. My friend drove it later and was calling it "predictable push." I'd agree with him. It's just and I've been hoping.

Have you been racing at medina before? i also race their but wasnt able to make it out saturday. i did win 1st at hartville but only because homie was waiting up for me when i got caught up in lap traffic

Live in Columbus. 1st time there. I will be up again.

Been running 5k rear diff oil tried 3k and it made the rear end more loose anyone try 7k?

Yea that's my problem. Making the initial threads is what i'm most worried about but then again doing the complete kit is when the screw gun is most handy. Then anything into Al is safe as long as you don't cross thread, but then they are the easiest and don't fatigue your hand like the plastic.

Catch-22

Anyone ever paint there white tekin case black?
