Always thinking about it...

We can confirm that we will be releasing a turnbuckle wrench in a few weeks. It will have a 4mm end (all cars) and a 5mm end (truggy camber) so it will work with all of our cars. We have a few we've been using/testing and we think it will be the best wrench out there when it's available. It's in production now, just patiently waiting...

Awesome!

For people that have used the FTW nightfox 00033 body, does the cut line for the motor suit the nb48 in rear motor configuration?

Is it ok to replace M4x10mm screws secureing rear braces to diff housing with longer ones - 14mm? I've read about issues with rear braces on EB48 vehicle, and one of the solutions mentioned was to replace 'em with longer version. Brace itself has thickness about 5mm where it lays on top of diff case, that gives only 5mm thread into housing, it's enough or not?

yes mate but no longer then 15mm screws as it goes to deep but apart from that the rear gear box on the nitro is fine and does not break out from what i have seen

but yeh 15mm wont hurt

Yes you can use the 14mm screws. The rear diff case is the only thing I have
broken so far. Its breaks when the chassis gets back bowed. Either slamming
down on the wing of an Ebuggy (more weight and less support than the Nitro)
or by casing a jump HARD with a nitro or e car.

Trust me you gotta hit really hard to do it.

when I see the post for the link to the new tanks I ordered one and paid for it Friday, and then yesterday I got home from my work and the tank was sitting there,,,,,, what a service cant believe how quick that was

anyway I had to open it up and have a look,,,,, and I cant wait to get this in very very nice looking in thicker plastic which is going to be hard to see though, but id sooner have that then the tank breaking, and it was ready to put straight in to the buggy as the grommets was already inserted

good job TEKNO RC way to go keep up the good work

Could not agree more mate I am over here in Australia and I got my shipment of tanks too

These will make this buggy bullit proof now and yes the tanks look great.

Awesome work there from the factory support again.

This is what I call customer service and I am glad to be apart of it.

Few days ago there was a discussion about camber links' building methods. Here is mine:

Take any ball link pliers with same rounded hole for something (really have no idea what its supposed to do), put hex part of metal turnbuckle into this hole and begin to prethread plastic end (with ball installed) with your hand. Also i apply some amount of grease onto turnbuckle' threaded part. After making some (2-3) full turns it's ok to insert something like short hex wrench or screwdriver tip into ball and continue. After classic method (fix plastic part and dig into with metal) its night and day difference.

Thanks for info. Holes are really for 15mm screws, measured this with calipers. Just wondering why Tekno made deep holes but only 10mm screws are included for rear braces.

I would suggest you stay with the 10mm one like the manual says, be sure you don’t over tight it.

I broke my gear box when I put 15mm on it, I’m guessing more thread also weakens the gear box. Another suggestion, I put 1mm shim below the chassis brace (on the side of the gear box), I noticed chassis brace bends a little bit when you tight the screw if you don't use the shim.

All set for the Midwest Nitro Series round 1 at RJD raceway in Lincoln,IL

Good luck! Nice stickers! Looks sweet!

Since the Midwest nitro series round 1 is canceled, come Down to JCP for round one of the Monsters of the Midwest.

Tekno T.O.M/RTM will be in the house
