The reason I ask is mine will be the first tekno at our track so there's no known setups yet.

What Melbourne track are you talking about?

SUNSHINE were are you from I notice you have NT48 and your in Melbourne as well

Well then you'll be the second Tekno I'm the first lol... I race at Sunshine I'll be there this Sunday.

That's awesome I'm just about to start building mine do you have any set up tips for me or did you just stick to the box setup.
I sent you a pm

Pm replied.

I keep reading about problems with the spur gear but it doesn't seem to be every one but the ones it's happening to its happening often not just a one off so my question is , is there a spur gear problem tekno got straight onto the tank problem so what's going on with Spurs I only ask cause I just bought the kit is it something I should worry about.

If you want the official answer from Daniel at tekno then go back a couple pages but yes they have already re engineered the spur and will be releasing a 10x stronger version soon. I still have my original spur and its fine after 4+ hours run time. Its all about how you set your mesh and driving style etc but it wont matter once the new spurs are released.

If I were you, I would build the truck 100% stock and follow the manual directions exclusively and then tune from there. Theres a reason its the stock set up, its a good neutral starting point for everyone no matter what the driving style. You can get a setup sheet from your buddy but maybe hes heavy on the throttle and likes to drift turns and maybe you are smoother, in which case your setups would be completely different in most cases so, start with stock and then go from there, feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Is anybody running a different clutch and clutch bell setup?

I run the Buku with vented Serpent 13t bell. Love it. Just need to make sure you set it properly and when running a Buku clutch you must use a brand new bell otherwise the clutch will melt and preferably a vented one.

I have a Buku clutch but have never tested it in a Truggy. A few guys have tried them at my local track in Truggy, but they have all had issues with the clutch slipping after a bit. I think I'll test it myself and see how it goes. Has anybody tried a different clutch bell besides Tekno and Serpent that will reach the spur gear properly?

No, At that point it is easier to shim the flywheel forward and use shins. That allows you to use whatever clutch and bell that you want.

BuKu in a truggy can be a bit of a handful as far as setting them up goes. It can be done on slick tracks with the stagger or you can run all three shoes the same on higher bite. Either way it's really easy to overheat them. Werks or M2c 4 shoe. The stock clutch works fine. Make sure you have someone help you seat the shoes in and try it, I think you will like it just fine.

Thanks for the info. I currently use the stock clutch which I really like. I also have the werks and M2C clutches but I haven't had time to try them out, or to see if I could get them to work with a standard clutch bell. I've only had one proper club race day with the Truggy. But I love the way this things handles and drives. Box setup is awesome but I run 15 15 7 diffs.

I am using the stock flywheel with Losi shoes and springs. I use the same spring shoe combo as the buggy. But I use the Losi steel flywheel in buggy and stock Tekno flywheel in truggy. Losi shoes and springs are a direct fit
