I wish more (any) local hobby stores sold PTRC. I'd be a regular customer. However since I have to mail order everything anyway I ended up going with a non-PTRC brand but have been using mostly the same CSTs and have been happy. Cleaner, longer though? That seems attributable to shock rings and boots. But I digress - back to Tekno!

It think it's the opposite. PT is one of the only companies that claims to have reliability from batch to batch due to full certification/testing.

Anyone use max wheelbase in the back? I run on a bumpy rutted track. May max out wheelbase in hopes of gaining stability and more steering. In theory it should help but everyone uses pretty much the standard 3/2 mm setup

I tried it, but found it was less stable. Especially exiting corners.

Wow I wouldn't of expected that.

I think that moving the wheels forward affects the dogbone angle helping with rough tracks. Also, moving the rear wheels forward will also allow more weight off the very back of the vehicle allowing for better traction. If you were only changing the wheelbase(by lengthen the chassis), then yes longer wheelbase might be better but when you only move the wheels it affects other aspects of the car.

Look into SMC batteries. They have very good packs that not expensive and perform very well. $70 for a 6500 60c battery. Lots of guys that are way faster than me run them so I figure they are good enough for me.
I don't think you need as high c rating when you go up in cell count. It is be beneficial to have really high c rating in low cell count, high stress applications like SCT but not as necessary with higher cell counts.
Hope this helps.

For C rating I usually go 50C or above. But heck back in the old days when 1/8 E buggy first got started we were running helicopter motors with pretty high Kvs (3000kv or more were common to see people do on 4S) with 6000mah 20C backs and modified castle creations Mamba Max escs.
Ah the good ol days ...

Thanks guys, I'll go look for some 50-60c's. Wish I could just link my 2s together haha. But I'm excited to jump into the ebuggy scene finally. Just hate buying all new stuff, but that's part of the game. Lol.
I was getting my batts off eBay, but didn't really see good deals on 4s.but on SMC's site I see the 6500 4s 60c for $70. Awesome! Even their 2s are priced well on their site.. 6500 2s 60c for $37... Nice

Promatchs 5200mah 4S I really like as its pretty light if thats your thing, though the Teknos balance better with the 6500s from what I am reading.
