I'm not sure who has them or if any were taken. I know we have pics. We swept eBuggy, 1 & 2 in SC 4x4, 1 & 2 in nitro truggy, TQ'd open nitro buggy, and qualified 4th in the expert buggy main. Had engine issues in the buggy mains, but the buggies were awesome all day.

One problem I had was the fuel uptake line and filter came off the nipple in the tank. I flat landed a big single a couple of times, and caught the pipe more than once, but no major wrecks. I managed to get some needle nose pliers in there and it went back on very easily... not a lot of bite if you know what I mean. It may have been loose to begin with. Don't know what to think of this yet. It didn't happen again.

Thanks for the feedback. The fuel line coming loose from the nipple in the tank is interesting. We haven't experienced that yet but I could see how it could happen if it was loose from the factory. Hopefully it stays put.

One thing we did this weekend was to go to 3.0 degrees of toe and move the hubs all the way forward. This helped a lot. Then we tried swapping the sway bars so that the front was 2.6mm and the rear was 2.5mm. You could even go higher on the front to further smooth out the car. Our cars have a ton of steering and it is sometimes necessary to limit it.

The other major thing we did, and it's different for everyone, was limit our dual rate / steering travel on the radio so the wheels don't turn as far. Alternatively, you could add another washer or two to the steering stops. Now that I have the steering travel where I want it, I will probably set it solely with the steering stops (not limited on the radio).

Are you still running the motor in the forward position?

Yes. We've run rear position on a number of occasions but always seem to come back to forward position. The car was designed to have the forward position be the stock position.

We will probably spend some time to get a rear motor setup, but we feel the forward motor will yield better results in almost every condition.

After letting several drivers drive the Tekno Buggy today I can tell you the setup on this car seemed to be good for everybody driven it. Here is the links for three of the people driven the car.

Is that track as rough as it looks in the videos or is that just the lighting?
