Tekno shocks work for a few races at best then the car starts to feel different. I had the same issue with my associated truggy. So I tore the shocks off and I have been running mugen shocks on it for a year now. It's perfect. I also have an xray that is just as consistent. Why would I pay 75 bucks for tekno shocks when I can get mugen or xray shocks cheaper. I am curious to see the feedback on the new guides. I asked a friend of mine that runs for tekno and he rebuilds his shocks ALOT. To me that is a waste of time. Shocks are one of the most expensive parts on the car. They should be more reliable. I still love the car but the shocks do raise questions with me. If I am running multiple classes and also taking care of my sons car it just isn't good to have to rebuild shocks all the time.
Could you be more specific about the inconsistencies? We've spent a lot of time and money trying to perfect our shocks and we're quite happy with where they are right now. For example, I rebuilt Austin's shocks before practice at the recent ROAR 1/8th ENats. We ran them the whole weekend without touching them. They were as smooth after A3 as they were for the first practice run. No air, no leaks, super smooth, etc.
