really hope tekno release a thicker body, the stock ones are so flimsy.

in the meantime, i had this old proline 0.60 lexan body laying unused, so a quick paint job and some extra holes to make it fit and its ready to race

Ok guys, currently in the build process and I am experiencing some difficulties. (First time build).

Basically its a very smooth build but the front and rear camber links are turning out to be a nightmare to screw together. I dont really have the proper tools to do so, which is why they start feeling VERY VERY tight and I cant screw them in enough to get the right lenghts. What tools do people use to assemble the front rear camber links? ALSO, is there any technique/tip/tricks involved when assembling the camber links? ANY sort of advice would help as simply trying to muscle then in isnt working for me AT ALL.

Also I understand that the camber ends are threaded as we screw the links in. Is that how its supposed to go down? Or am i supposed to thread them with something else before screwing the links in? I had no need to do so up till now in the process (as every plastic is freshly threaded when I insert screws), but maybe I should now? ANYWAY, HELP PLEASE! SOS CALL!


Eagerly waiting for replies! Thanks in advance.

put a drop of oil on the threads. simple tools....crescent wrench to hold rod and twist on the ends with your hands.

I get a body reamer and ream out the rodends so the turnbuckles are easier to start,I put black grease in the rodend before I run the turnbuckles in.

I like to chuck the turnbuckle into a drill and pre-thread all of my rod ends. Make sure to do the reverse threads on half of them and keep them separated so not to mix them up.

That's great! Did they make you take a pit stop or two? What size battery and what did it take to charge it?
