I'm thinking about changing to PT racing oils for my Tekno's and had a few question. I have been using Associated oils and was wondering if 7000 cst Associated feels the same as 7000 cst PT oils. Does one brand feel thicker than the other brand at the same cst rating? what about shock oil between PT and Associated? a bottle of Associated 30 wt says 350 cst. Does that match PT racing 350 cst?
According to the chart in the link below, associated 30 wt is 400 cst.

Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Something else. I picked up my kit about a month and a half ago. My steering was a little off, so i was looking at it to figure out why. My ackerman, where the steering linkage bolts up. Its bent down, not a small slight bend but a considerable amount. The right side is more then the left. I can't believe it didn't break, can't believe it bent but can't believe it didn't break. Anyone else see this happen?

I might be wrong but I thought CST was a standard. Since WT is not, you could compare between the two. Also, Lucas oil makes AE fluid. If CST does have a standard... I would trust Lucas over PT and tekno.

Hey guys, I just started building this buggy tonight and I have a question about the front and rear diffs.
When I put each diff in each respective case, the pinion doesn't really make the out drives spin very much. (They spin freely with no binding and very little noise) I can grab the out drives and spin them and then the pinion spins quickly. Is this normal? Is it just a ratio issue, and when I get the motor installed and put power to it, the wheels will spin as normal?
I recall seeing this in the thread but I don't recall the correct answer or not. I just want to fix it (if it's an issue) before I get it all together.

I've been running AE for awhile cause it's made by lucas. Starting to switch over to PT due to the larger bottle size more than anything. AE size is fine for 1/10 but with the bigger Tekno shocks front and back it's easier to have the bigger bottle than dealing with the little ones.

Tekno did design a place for a switch. It is on the mud guard/radio tray. The top edge of the mud guard is not straight across, it has a small section that raises up slightly and has two support ribs molded into the plastic. The switch goes in-between the two ribs. Post #15558

Having said that, I either cut off my switch or attach it to the side of the ESC.

If I have anything to complain about Tekno cars, it would be their servo/battery tray. First the servo opening is too small for at least Futaba/Sanwa/Savox/Protech regular size servos. Then the ESC space also too small, could just fit the Tekin, Viper/Hobbywing are tight fit, forget Novak. The battery side the battery opening could be a bit wider, so as to allow two packs to be placed on their side, not stacked. Also, that place for the brake servo has to go (I never see anyone in my track uses mechanical brake on their EB/ET/SCT), could either fit the ESC there or give the battery opening even more spaces to push the batteries aft.

If your going to make the switch I'd use the cst comparison as a base line and then re tune and adjust with PT from there.

I'm not sure on weather or not one is thicker or thinner. But I can say I've had several locals running what we thought was really close in AE to what was in my car (I run PT oil) and it was just not. Swapped out their oil for PT and there was certainly difference.
If your going to make the switch I'd use the cst comparison as a base line and then re tune and adjust with PT from there.

Thanks to all who responded about the PT oils.
Has anybody used the AKA long wear tires? does a soft long wear tire feel the same as regular soft? If so, why would anybody buy AKA tires that are not long wear?
