I put a few pieces of double sided foam tape like I use for mounting receivers on the jaws of some channel locks. Needs to be replaced occasionally but it does keeps the flywheel from getting marred up.

It's worth a try to keep from marring up the flywheels. But over the years I've found that no matter what the rocks and dirt will eventually get in there and scratch it up. So personally I just use a pair of slip-joint pliers and not much clamping force is actuallly needed. So they don't tear up the flywheel anyway.
Besides...all that marring is better for traction on your starter box wheel. LOL. J/K. |

Of course both of these cars can be setup to fit your driving style. Both have many options and the ability to significantly adjust the geometry on the car.
That said, in general the Hot Bodies will be a little more stable. Like the Kyosho, it is a 'long arm' buggy (refering to the front end). To me, the car really feels like you can just throw it hard into a corner and usually itll stick. It has great traction overall. For someone with a heavy throttle finger this might be the better option. The Tekno on the other hand reminds me of the Losi buggy (beyond the similar suspension setups and drivetrain layouts) in that it likes to be driven with precision, is extremley nimble, and is capable of some very fast laps without being pushed very hard. It reminds me more of a 4wd buggy feel rather than a truggy feel that some other buggies have. The difference in my opinion to the TLR is the Tekno car can be pushed out of its 'comfort zone' a little more and still stay stable and turn good laps. Great for when youre fighting for the lead or a position on the track. Obviously I love the Tekno cars and how well they handle, but one of the biggest advantages to them to me isnt even the car itself. Its the team supporting It. Matt and Daniel work non stop with guys like Ryan and Joe as well as the average driver to create a car that is fastest for everyone, in every situation. The never ending testing and devleopment really caught my eye when I was switching brands, and thats why im here now. |

I ordered two TKR5353 from Amain on March 28th because I was having the same problem on my NT48. Flywheel came loose twice. Will the new collets be in those kits? How big will the new gap be?

This is truly a very easy DIY project. Just use a cutoff wheel in your Dremel and grind the gap open a bit. Very easy and quick.

Hey Tekno any idea on when the universal outdrives like Ryan and Joe have been running will be available?
|
Anyone tried running the truggy towers and shocks on their nb?

Are you running buggy rears in the front and truggy fronts in the rear? I believe that was what Lutz and Born were running if I recall correctly. Also noticed the rear wing mount is very different than the stock nb mount as seen in this picture. Is this so it will fit the truggy tower or will the current wing mount fit the truggy tower? http://gallery.neobuggy.net/2015race...O/_YB_8654.jpg

There is a new brake linkage system that uses two rods instead of one that is still in the final stages of pre-production. It allows a quicker adjustment of brake bias. http://gallery.neobuggy.net/2015race..._YB_8612-L.jpg I wanna know when the Alum rear hubs are coming out. http://gallery.neobuggy.net/2015race..._YB_8652-L.jpg |
