Be nice if you had video. After hearing multiple people say its running faster lap times than the buggies I getting excited but want to see it. I hope to have one before Psycho nitro blast this year.

I would like to see your setup compared to the stock setup. I took mine to our indoor track today to show it off. I'm sure I sold a few more kits. The majority liked the sleek look of the body.

Did anyone give lutz some competition on the tekno side? I heard he took his Durango fleet to the Dirt Nitro Challenge Warmup event... and TQ/Wins for E-buggy, Truggy, and Pro Nitro Buggy. Any podiums for tekno in any of the classes?

Not sure about that race but I know Austin Blair came in 3rd overall at the Roar electric nationals behind Lutz and Phend in E Truggy.

Since there isn't a lot of available parts yet I'm kind of limited but I changed roll center to center hole all the way around went 10/15/5 on diffs and stood front shocks up 2 holes on tower and removed steering limiters

Sorry for no video but egobreaker generally takes my videos but he wasn't there kinda hard to take video myself while driving

I don't care about video's I can make my own. I was just interested in new shock oils and the difs. I'm a good sportsman level racer that's 60 years old. I want to know what makes this sucker fly without me spending a ton of time and money to make it haul ASS. That's what the real world wants to know.
I didn't mean to get aggressive.

The stock setup that I drove seemed pretty good, it needed a little less turn in and more off power rotation. I would go up in the center diff, raise the roll center in the front and rear.....

I think Scorp's video comment was a response to me.

Solution: GoPro Black on the forehead, narrow angle.

I never said what I did was the solution to all tracks and driving styles and the box stock setup calls for the lowest possible roll center all the way around and basically I did go up in center diff by going down in front and rear. stock is 20/20/10

I wasn't responding to you saying your wrong, just giving my opinion on what I felt with the truck. I also misspoke about the front roll center. I would raise it, not lower it.....

Correct the truck felt a little lazy to me at first which is why I raised roll center and stood front shocks up to make it more aggressive.

As for the guy that asked what motor I'm running too much motor 2250 t8 gen2 truggy had to turn current limiter to 35 and brakes to 30 I can run 18 minutes on on a 6500 SMC pack

Also would recommend changing diff fluids after your first night I found the fluid to be quite dirty. My guess would be that the upgraded diff shims create a tighter mesh. When I built mine they felt pretty notchy but the next day when I rebuilt them they felt super smooth

Hey Truggy guys, keep an eye on the rear diff casing.

EB48 .2 versions are snapping at the upper shock tower mount.
