This machine looks legit

It will be my next 1/8 e-buggy.

Tekno says they have been testing, so I trust them when they say it has stood up to the abuse. Everything looks great. I will say the turnbuckles looked a little thin for 1/8 scale, but time will tell.

Stuff I really like:
  • Smart chassis and geometry design
  • Straight center drive shaft
  • looks easy to work on with low screw count
  • integrated mudgaurds with electronics mounting
  • all components centered with super narrow chassis
  • shocks look and feel top notch
  • super low CG
  • nice looking motor mount that keeps the motor and pinion centered in the mount
  • use either direct drive or Tekno tracktion drive or clutch system
  • mechanical brakes can be used with a nice integrated servo mount in the mud gaurd

And here are the pics:





Great stuff, and it was nice talking to the Tekno guys

Well done on what I would call a true 1/8 electric buggy that was well thought out and designed from the ground up without any nitro influence on layout.
