Yeah the teeth start to get sharp. It's not uncommon after several gallons just never had a car do it so quickly. Never broken a tooth of one though. I am sure tekno is looking closely at there hardening process for both right now.

I hope Tekno gets the issues resolved quickly. Everyone is loving this truck and it seems to be wonderful on the tracks. I'll be ready for a new truck in January and I'm leaning in this direction and I'm pretty confident all the bugs will be worked out by then.

its Tekno! I am sure it will be resolved before we all think it will be;)
and yes James you will need this truck for Nitro Challenge!!!

Attachment 1224526Here's a few pics of the spur wear ect...

Metal dust. All came during 1 20 minute main event. Ps I do clean and service my truck every week. Just took pictures before cleanup

Broken teeth. Notice the flat in the "valley" is still intact

The only thing I can say john is that my bell does not engage as far forward due to the clutch I am using. Quite possibly the teeth don't have enough engagement to twist teeth off the spur with the bell this far back. ?????

As mo said, I have no doubt the issue will be resolved. I had confidence in teknos reputation prior to purchasing the truck, I went out in left field buying the first nt48 in my immediate area, knowing it was a quality company with am excellent reputation. I'm still thrilled with and by the truck, it's a beast on the track... Durability issues other than this are non existent. The diff gears and ring and pinion show virtually no wear after all this time...

T top tekno! ;)

Yep!! Looks like every one that I have broken!!

shock tools looking sweet!

Hey Mo yeh they work awesome for all Tekno cars well worth the investment

I also run APE skid plates and bumpers and Ackerman plates as well :nod:

yeah thinkin some of those shock tools have my name on them!!! :nod:

also guys for anyone who like wraps. a truggy wrap template is being made also by Darkside Design as well. just had a body shipped to him!

Thanks Chris I ordered 2 sets of shock tools this week. Mo post some pics of the wrap when you get it back.

Where are the pics of the shock tools?

What's a good starter box fit for this truck? Looking to upgrade and curious what you guys are using.

The blue OFNA truggy box. Put a 4s LiPo in it, get rid of the tamiya connector and run deans. I also soldered all the spade plug connections together . 8 seasons and it's been the most reliable piece of equipment I have.

Sweet thanks

anyone have a durango 48t spur gear lying around they could see if it fits the tekno diff cup? I think the hole pattern is the same and would really like to test a different spur gear to see if it will better or if it is a chassis flex issue causing the teeth to break off.

Durango, Losi, Kyosho and Serpent spur gears don't fit. I've tried them. Serpent is the closest but the holes are still too far apart.

Damn!! thanks. I was just hoping to rule 1 piece of the problem out. Now I need someone to build a forward extended motor mount!!

I said screw it and made my own.
its an Agama gear I welded the holes shut then tuned them down on a lathe the drilled new holes.
the diff lining is too large so I just used the gasket and gasket sealer and had ZERO leaks. which I found weird cause I would a very small amount on the stock spur.lol
raced it this weekend, won by 4 or 5 laps at G Force. gear held up fantastic!

When does production start? Lol.

hahaha

Tekno NT48 test truggy on its way.. gonna be interesting to see how it compares to the st rr evo.

They are all hard anodized to a dark grey color, but here's a picture of a set fresh out of the mill.

I'll take 3!!!

ST-RR evo is now the 2nd best truggy i have ever driven!!

HMM? is the buggy better than the mp9?

i think it can be, but it takes more work to get it there than the truggy. the truggy just works!!

Buggy is currently just as good. My buggy is actually the first one I have had that I do faster lap times than my truggy. And my truggy is badass!

my friend has Dutch his tekno et48 to go and buy a nt48 his just sick off ep truggy now his said he go back to a nitro truggy

Offroad here is a better pic, just got my 2 sets yesterday. Brian I see your joining the Tekno party, were growing at the Mushroom Bowl. Your # 4 racing a Tekno.[IMG]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/...ps687fecf1.jpg[/IMG]

Well I would not say I'm joining the party just yet. But i will be showing up fashionably late lol!!! The guys at tekno seem pretty confident that i will be faster with the NT48 compared to my evo. The limited time I get to see Mo's truck run it looks like a slot car. I'm not one of these guys who cares about THE NAME or which country something is made in. If its fast, durable fun to drive and easy to wrench on I will give it a try.

you will dig it. its is fast, fun to drive and VERY easy to work on

Hope you love it Brian, its definitely fast, durable and fun to drive, and I think wrenching is relative but I find Teknos very easy to work on except the lack of a split center diff makes diff maintenance a little more tedious than some other brands but glad you are giving it a try. Still loving the BUKU set up in my NB48, not sure if Ill make that investment in the NT48 this season with only a couple months left but definitely next season, the durability of the shoes and the performance definitely top notch, now we just gotta work on the cap instructions haha but thanks for helping.

Hey guys, been a while since I posted up. Tekno has great support and customer care. I am excited to see an upgraded spur gear... The truggy has been awesome, I've been messing around with my setup and the truggy feels great... I have never been so excited the night before races anymore. It is the most fun I've ever had driving rc.... Every week I drive it harder and harder and it just gets faster and faster. I still love the ability to pass on the inside of a corner. Crossing the lane before the turn and pinching it on the inside gives a clean pass everytime. I don't think the other truggies can get to those spots on the track so I throttle away clean. I really enjoy that. Here's a video of my ops powered truggy last Saturday ( on a muddy track)

Im dying no link. I tried copy and paste to no work.:cry:

A distant 2nd!!!!!!
