I'm surprised to see that level of quality in a Tekno kit!

These diff housings are solid on the bottom, so there really is no way dirt is getting in the gear box, flush or not;)

It won't affect anything. The gear boxes are sealed on the bottom, and everything fits just fine. It's just how their chassis are manufactured.

Oh yeah, I haven't had my EB a part in a while, I forgot that the cases are sealed.

I guess after a run or two, the bump on the bottom will be worn flush.

I'd run Hyperion 25c packs over anything GensAce/Turdigy/etc. The 35c/45c packs are even more gravy. A 6s 4200mah pack is going to be pretty heavy though. Usually around 3000mah - 3300mah is recommended for 6s in buggy/truggy. I personally run a 2950mah 6s pack in buggy.

You can't get packs of any reasonable size in 6s for hyperion they jump to longer than the battery tray will allow pretty quick at least w/ 35c. The 25c hyperion are not better than the newer aspec or 60c gensace. It's even debatable if the hyperion 35c are as good.


ON that note; someone talk me positive.. here.

So with the longer chassis of the truggy, why would this not be used to better balance the truggy instead of front loading everything and using the ebuggy battery tray/sides? Could have allowed longer lipo's by making a truggy tray? hmm. Has anyone been out on big jumps? I would think from how this sits and the weight distro that it would be a fight to keep it level on bigger jumps and not want to nose dive.. What shock oils w/ the 8hole pistons are you running still 500 rear, 600 front? Again someone who has ran please tell me my thoughts are all wrong... TY

So happy Tekno made an E Truggy, this should breathe some life into the class. :):):)

RavensNightFury 01-16-2014 11:09 PM

yeah I hope so as the 4s lipos are getting bigger mha so that make longer run time which you can race longer if you have too

The more weight you have in the front of the chassis, the better it will fly. Think of a hammer, it follows a nice trajectory because of the weight distribution. If you try to throw it backwards, it will swap ends so the heavier end is forward. This is one of the reasons why we have the weight forward.

The other is corner speed. If you have too much weight in the rear it will want to swap ends (like the hammer) and slow the car in corners, reducing corner speed. A forward weight bias increases and maintains corner speed.

If you're having issues with any vehicle not flying consistently in the air, it is usually remedied with setup. SC is a special case since they don't allow rear wings, but the same principles apply. Suspension and springs make more of a difference in those conditions and once you find the right combination, you get faster cornering with consistent jump handling.

hey danny will the nitro body fit the ep version mate

Started my build last night and got the diffs finished. I did come across one problem with the diff screws. I found two of them with burrs in the socket part of the head causing the countersunk head to strip out. I had extras so no big deal. Just check your screws for burrs. I will post more as my build goes on. :batman::spidey:

mlloyd09 01-17-2014 04:21 AM

hey guys i gotta question about the diffs.. (maybe tekno can answer this)

On the build of my diffs i noticed that that washer that goes on top of the outdrive seals was changed at some point.. i have a EB but those ones are Larger and Black in color.
The ones in my ET were a smaller O.D. but a bigger I.D.
the Black ones fit on the outdrives alot better but O.D. To big.
Just does not seem to make sense to me what the Heck do i know.
Just Curious
THANKS

P.S. Just got my Et and build is going great. Once again seems to be ANOTHER Great vechile from TEKNO.
Great job guys!!!!!

Just put the new ones in, i did too and the diff's on the truck are smooth from the start.

both my buggy's have the older type and they need some runtime to become smooth.
