I really wanted a tekno but they cost a fortune in uk. £415 for the chassis plus proline wheels and body shell which are £120+ or more.

So i tried the formulae instead buggy long truggy wide and imo chose the teknos dad. The Hb D8 line.

Ive used a Hb tessman D8T15 with D812 chassis and Ve8 rear shaft.

i think its going to be just as good as the tekno and for the price of the tekno as a roller. I got two tessman D8Ts and elecs. One truggy for spares.

its been 3yrs since i built myself an rc so went pretty ott (as usual) but im really happy so far its coming on nicly. I think it will be a little shorter and wider than the tekno.

looks good. the D8's are great too. really can't go wrong with any comp class 1/8. they're all awesome.

So back in the day! There were a few of us doing these conversions before the Outcast and the MT410. The O.G was built by @chainsaw10 where he used a D8T and a Vorza. Then it spread like wild fire. I choice to do it with an RC8.2E and an RC8T. If I remember correctly I believe I was the first to do it on the AE platform. Nonetheless look up some videos of the Vorza on YT for tips and tricks. Unfortunately all the content we had on URC is no longer available.

You'll love it. They're definitely durable and fun.

Found this. Here is His D8 Vorza from 6yrs agao. The inspiration to all SWB truggies of today.

I remember your rc8te, didnt I see it for sale? I had a monster one too years ago, I was "ihasRC" on URC
now pushing the mt410 because it can fit even bigger tires! Planning on going with a long chassis next year, cant wait to see what m2c cooks up...

Is the Max6 and Poseidon going to cause extra stress on the shafts/gears etc? Looks damn cool

I just completed my MT410 about a week ago. The 1980 Chevy proline body was already taking a beating. When I went to go pick up drywall and e6000 glue at home depot they had this stuff called Flex Seal Tape. Very very sticky and pretty thick about .8mm. Anyhow, I decided to try this out on my body. I forgot to weigh it before but now the body weighs 12 ounces and I'm wondering if maybe the flex tape is a little too heavy. It definitely holds up the truck body though through some major crashes. What do you guys think?

awesome! you got a prototype? when's it being released?

Time flies when we're having fun Brother!🤝✌👍

Bro, yes I remember! Right on! Glad your still in the hobby. Yeah finally put her for sale. It's an Amazing rig. Just have to make room for new blood.😁
