You know if i ever find time i might have to try that

So will Tekno offer a complete .3 update kit? I'm not a hardcore racer but I like to try to stay up to date on my trucks.

if the front and rear hubs are replaced then the arms will need to be replaced as well due to the new hub length ?
it also appears different rod ends are also used and all the link lengths are different than the original, are the new rod ends needed as well and how would this relate relate to the geometry of the 1st gen towers ?
i can see this being a problem as time goes on and various parts get upgraded and others don't and people saying their trucks are out of whack when they're build assumingly correct.
example.. i'm not willing to replace my carbon towers, but would like the new arms and hubs what are my new link lengths and what locations become the "box stock" starting points ?

The rod are different. If memory serves me correctly one set of them is longer than the old ones, but its a stretch to remember I may not be correct. I do know the ends are straight now, but the old ones would still work. Again, if it wasn't better it would have been scrapped in the process.
The last two paragraphs I can't answer, sorry.
But seriously the new geometry provides a more efficient suspension stroke. The new truck's design promotes greater corner speed and better overall suspension performance (lands like its on a pillow).

The new rear arms are 4mm longer. The new hubs are designed to accommodate that. As for the front I'm not sure, but I wouldn't mix and match, because the Tekno design team did the homework and designed this new package to be with out a doubt better. If it wasn't it wouldn't of made it this far in the process.

I say buy new. sell the old model or give it to your kid. if you don't have a kid use it as a loner for the track for a new person.

Maybe I am the only that thinks this, but the biggest advantage this truck brought to the game was the added weight. I never had issues with bumps and I have run on quite a few large rough outdoor tracks. The nose down issue is inherent in just about every 4wd sct. Lighter weight is only going to help on the high traction type tracks coming out of the corners. If the tires are spinning, it's not going to help much. I have been running Tyler Herwigs setup from the ROAR Nats for over a year and the truck has been great if people are looking for ideas on shocks and diffs.

Just preordered mine!! Can't wait. Class seems to be big in Central MN, and growing, with a couple of really fast guys running it.

for the me the kicker on the V1 was that out here, areas of the track guys could punch it on consistently over jumps, Iwould get a bad nose down situation, and the truck didn't feel consistent on traction relative to what I did for nose down attitude.
However, I will say I don't get to race much, so my tuning time comes in these windows with the track being over 1.5 hrs away.
This year though should be interesting as the guy who cleaned up last year now has tekno vehicles
