This kit looks like it comes pretty much loaded. I can't tell or I should say confirm wether it comes with aluminum vented shock caps or not? Also the center diff bulkhead braces which looks to be composite? I am not an 8th scale racer but with our local facility having a huge outdoor 8th scale track I definetly want TP partake this season.

The new shock caps are aluminum and can be built for emulsion, bladder vented and bladder sealed. It comes with O-rings to build the shocks as emulsion. You will need to only buy bladders if you wish to build either of the bladder builds. The single shock cap will accommodate all 3 builds.
The 4 piece center diff mount is composite (3 pieces) and aluminum (the motor mount), which works well as is. You can optionally buy the 3 other pieces in aluminum if you want a full aluminum center diff mount.

I noticed the inside of my front wheels rubbing on something, I was thinking that it was the front side of the outer hinge pin, but the scrape marks inside the wheel were pretty smooth so I think it may be somewhere else. I cant get it to rub on the bench but it is really close in a few spots so I imagine its happening when the wheels are flexing some.
A couple of times I had a weird thing happen that I cant figure out, the buggy would dart off in one direction (mostly to the right IIRC) a couple of times it was while i was on the brakes, and a couple under acceleration. I cant tell if it was because of the bump steer or a by product of the front wheels rubbing on something.

I am using DE Speedline Plus wheels, and I measured the I.D. to be around 80.5mm. I measured some AKA I had (79.5) and JC (78.5) so they have the largest inner diameter of the wheels I currently have at least.
I could move the hub spacer to the other side, but that will lengthen my wheelbase and change my ackerman. I was also thinking I could grind down the thread a bit for a little more clearance.
Anyone else notice this?

The first time I saw that double nut front pin design I thought why didn't they make a pin with a flat head on one end and the nut on the other end? It would give at least 2mm of extra clearance. I guess you can red locktite a regular nut on one side and cut the threads off flush.

My .4 was just delivered yesterday....had a little help putting it together from Joe Bornhorst....guy can put a kit together fast enough to make your head spin!!! lol
Can't wait to get the electronics finished up and run it. First Tekno kit for me and I am impressed with everything from the manual to the overall quality of the parts. Well done Tekno!!!
