I have heard that theory too lol. Which if its true, I don't blame them. At some point you want people to still be around for your stuff, especially if AEs new buggy is any good.
For me at least, I decided to go with some vehicles to tide me and the family over for now till I see what comes from Tekno. The big factors for me will be:
- Durability
- No nickel and diming you to death on stuff at this price point (so if you have delrin this, or that or kashima this or that, put it in the kit, car should look like what the team runs, not something dumbed down)
- Performance
I could say innovation as well, however, maybe we are getting to the point where a certain layout just makes sense. But to be honest, if tekno runs with something using there own take on things, I am game.

But, no matter what the actual reason was…we know a great 4wd buggy will be coming in the middle of this year from Tekno!

would you say from what you heard the shocks were something bigger than the 12mm "standard" these days?
Looking forward to hearing more on handling, etc.

When you say narrow chassis, was it the chassis itself narrow and then had mudguards getting it to similar width like AE/Xray or is it all narrow?

where bigger in diameter, just longer.

Teknos SCT uses 16mm shocks just like the 1/8 cars do.
Here's the description from Teknos site
Shocks:
◾16mm bore hard anodized shocks – Biggest-in-class!

There's only 2 companies that use 17mm Shocks...

and you'd be stuck buying their springs. no thanks. conventional 12mm shocks please.

Possible 16mm shocks are to big for a 10th scale wheeler.

With it appearing like the vehicle may have a more conventional layout, I am hoping that we can see some cool innovation on how the vehicle goes together. One thing I liked about the durango dex410v5 was how easy it was to get to the diffs. few screws and out it comes or just pull a clip and out comes the center diff. The D413 I have now I have heard is not like that so we'll see how it goes.
I do hope whatever they go with, that it has mud guards or something included that allows the usage of velcro to hold the body instead of say making your own guards like some of the graphite chassis have. Almost seems like we are past the point of body clip usage these days.
And please please please keep the vehicle in mind for 13.5 classes relative to weight and gearing range.
