got to run for the first time with the buggy. feels great, really easy to drive with the current latest and greatest set up posted on the Tekno site.
I personally however had to go up in oil with the 6h 1.5 pistons. BUT..I also didn't have a chance to run the LRC rear block. the track was SUPER dusty and dry and other than pistons and oil those are the worse conditions to test set up IMO. but here is a vid of LCRC without swept and watered like it normally is. with the 650 front oil and 550 rear oil.
(easy on the critics, haven't got used to hitting the monster brakes the tekno buggy has)

compared to Xray I would say more steering and a lot more nimble. not as stable on landings as Xray but not much is since xray can have so much droop.
jumps better and the brakes are crazy dialed on the tekno. cant compare wear cause its new. looks cooler in the pits. customer service isn't really a comparison..lol

Love it Mo. Glad you got one, cant wait to hear your review after a few races, the LRC rear holder makes a big difference on tracks like MBRC and TNL. I also really like the fioroni pistons with CSI black bladders up front and CSI blue in the rear.

it was super consistant. I think cause it is so easy to drive. before I left I ran a tank and almost laughed cause I had 9 laps in a row the exact same lap time. I usually stay pretty consistant with laps within a few tenths on large tracks but 9 in a row were the exact same.lol that would almost be the whole qualifier!

I've found that it could be PITA with stock body and kit fuel lines:
Pressure line right after lid and before 1st tube holder can be squeezed between body and fuel tank upper borders, therefore you'll meet many tuning issues (like me). That's because kit fuel tube is too soft. Replaced pressure line with DuBro fancy colour, trimmed a bit of material from the antisplash borders, and everything seems fine.

Any chance Mo you could make it to Long Island for the Novarossi challenge on August 22,23,24. All the top drivers from the northeast will be there, along with some big name pros. There's even some guys coming down from Canada. The layout is being built by Joey The Dirt, we're starting it Saturday. Its going to be awesome!
