Hinge Pin Insert Chart:  Warranty Policy: Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website.

Do you guys adjust rideheight with the preload nuts or is it the droop screws or what? I've been building and running RC for 25 years but just started running on a track for the first time so I've never set up a car to specific measurements. I'm trying to dial in my new 410.3 to a really bumpy track by my house, and I've made good progress but I know it can be a lot better. My also new ET48.3 is awesome and all I've really done from box stock is orange springs front and rear. Besides all the optional and upgrade parts that Tekno sells. I ordered them with both vehicles. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cant keep destroying a body everytime I go to the track haha.

ok I understand that, but when measuring droop, is the number I see the measurement from the bottom of the chassis to the bottom of the axle stub or hex when the chassis is sitting on blocks? Also, when measuring ride height, do you just settle the car on the tires and measure the chassis to the ground between the front and rear wheels to get the measurements? I guess that's the part I dont understand. Where the numbers I see on setup sheets come from and how to measure them.

One more question. I set my truck up following one of Joe's bumpy track setups on the Tekno site, the only difference is I'm running one step stiffer springs front and rear as the rest of mine haven't shown up yet. Same pistons, oil, etc. His rideheight is about 20mm, and for me to get it that low I pretty much have to move the spring collars all the way up, and then my truck bottoms out on pretty much every jump face and bigger bump. Does it sound like I'm way off?

I've got them on the way, should be here today actually. However I dont really see how that would change too much as far as bottoming out. The LF springs really aren't any stiffer, just shorter. I'll keep playing around with it... Thanks.

I'm running the truck low, on a huge , blown out, 1/8 scale track with stupid jumps and it does great.
I'm running 6x1.4 pistons with 450cst oil in front, and 350cst in the rear.

I have 8x1.4 in it now, but I have a set of 10x 1.1 I can try. Plus black plastic stockers. I think they are 10x1.2? For oil I'm running 425 and 325. I just got some new springs today I'll try too..

To the guys who run on dirt
So I've run about 4 or 5 charges on my truck so far, about 20 minutes each, all on my local dirt track that has some loose dusty crap on top. When I pulled my shocks the other day to make some changes I noticed that the rear boots have several small holes or tears in them, like they are getting punctured by small bits of rock and there was a good amount of dirt inside them. I have the guards installed, but I'm just surprised that these already need to be replaced. I ordered a few pairs for both my rigs as I hate seeing dirt inside the boots. Is this normal to get around an hour and half of use out of them?

I had the same problem. I use black balloons for mine. Cut them to length and slip them on. Bought a whole bag for like $13 for 100 which is a lifetime supply. I'm still on my first set. Don't waste money on the Tekno ones. They'll just tear again. You can use these on all your vehicles. See Amazon link below.
