My son got an airbrush for Christmas a year ago, he's getting better. I put the stock decals on for the grill and headlights but don't have a picture, makes the front look much better. Now that I have my body I can hit the track.

Thanks FastPete
 
My son works about 50 hours a week as an electrician, surprising how much he's improved in one year without much time to paint.

I still hate the body design, but that paint job looks pretty nice.

Yes, Tekno announced that the breaking bulkheads were due to a temperature issue during the injection molding process. The also said it was a small batch issue.

It's funny how some hate it and some love it. I think is awesome, so sleak. The front to me looks like a big fist half closed. If it comes up behind you best get the hell out of the way. Just my opinion, I think it's going to kick ass this summer, I can't wait to drop this bad boy on a big track first outdoor race of our year... My plan is to make my buddies that're still driving Losi, AE and Mugen truggies wish they would have jumped ship and went the Tekno way!!! That should stir up some none Tekno lovers. hahahahaha I love this hobby, it's so much fun!!!

RavensNightFury 02-04-2014 07:01 PM

hahah you then fine topic like tekno et48 or mugen mbx6t soon lol

I think it looks cool too. I just wish it was a lot thicker. I'll probably switch to the Durango or Agama body for durability reasons.

Shoe goo and some drywall mesh :) How thick did you want it?

I reinforced mine in the front but it still looks all beat and cracked up after a few runs. I'd like to see something at least as thick as a Proline Bulldog body or similar.

I mean both were good to watch but the tekno hand down was better car it was faster but you never know theses things

breaks
 
Would using the disk break setup on the truggy be a good choice or just use the rx8-g2 breaks instead. That a lot of weight to try an stop at the end of the straightaway..
