Hi,
here some pics from my build. Was fun so far; the shocks are not totally air less, I will redo them one day. The bladders look a bit too flat.
I tried some silicone stuff to seal the diffs, dunno if that works out.
Center Diff: I changed the shim to a thinner shim, so the diffs runs smoother.
I really like the body, the slim style and the narrow, flat design.
I don't understand why other brands have the ESC on the CD, and stuff like that.

some mo'

To avoid axial movement I have put some shims in rear hub.
I tried to squeeze my torsen center diff in, doesen't fit, as well as the losi smart diff, too long. The losi SD is damaged anyway (again...), the theeth are down.

done, I took white for the body, white beauty
I've put the ESC to the back as the motor measures 80mm.
I took 3m repair tape, which is quite thick, to improve the body. Worked well to fix my other damaged bodies (RC-Bodies...)

thanks for the pics, nice to see how narrow the body is, really unique !

Ever since I started running tekno I can't help but feel all the other buggies and truggies look too fat.

lol but that's true. I wonder why no one else did that before. And it really makes sense.

Truggy looks great. Does the grease or sealant work on the diff seals and prevent leaking?

Did you ever figure out what the noise was?

I have the same issue and it sounds like it is the rear diff, probably needs to be reshimmed, but just thought I would see if I can learn from your experience before I start troubleshooting!

Thanks for any responses..

Here's mine already for her maiden voyage!

It's more than likely your front center driveshaft rubbing on the chassis braces, for me it was. Pictured below is the old style vs the new tapered style.




The noise can be heard in this video.

Dude, I love your paint scheme! Looks killer!

This track looks A-MAZINGLY fun to run!

wet from a mugen 6r eco to the tekno 48.3. Got in on friday and was out for first run on sunday. Fast and easy build.

On the mugen i never had enough steering for me personally. Dont get me wrong, i had massaged it to where it was very easy to drive and quick. Just got tired of hassle of replacing front lower arms.

The tekno arms sure do look beefy! And holy turn in batman. I had to dial out some of it.

Some changes i made to stock setup that fit my driving style. I am more of less aggressive driver that does well more though consistance laps.

1. Went from 3 to 3.5 degrees toe. track was slicker, and dry and this helped.

2. moved the front camber link down one hole to help take out some of the turn in. just made the truck more stable going in on looser track.

3. moved the rear camber link out on the hub making the truck a little lazier in the corners. This is more of fitting of my driving style.

I will be messing with rear setup a little more next week. i feel it could settle just a little quicker on landings. maybe oil or shock position. i will test it out.

Anyone try a Hpi flux scream motor in this thing? It's 1965kv and 42mm diameter so I'm thinking is would be perfect. Got one for 50 bucks. I guess I'll find out if no one has tried it yet
