I had an original SCTE, threw everything at it and that truck to me, was just more stable and predictable then my Tekno is.
I've been running the Tekno since May, and I still dont feel 100% comfortable with it yet. I have to drive it conservative, or I wad it up.
I'm using Sramos setup, and my steering is down to -20 expo and 90% dual rate and it still feels twitchy.
Im kind of at an impasse here.

I have a feeling I'm going to play with roll centers to make it less aggressive. I really had to have a slight touch to feed it through the turns and the sweeper was a hand full. Traction rolled a couple times if I took it too fast. Traction rolling was not in the Mugen's repertoir but it didn't turn in as well either... I need to find a balance.

I think I might strap a pound or 2 of lead on it and see if that helps!
My feelings exactly. My 1/8 conversion felt more stable and I could run aggressive. It was just a little short on tight turning. I know this truck can sling around the track. I've seen the videos (local SoCal races) I'm sticking with it and will give this truck a chance because I just bought it. Just gotta get the right setup. I've got green/front and yellow/rear springs on order. Till they arrive I went up in oil from 37.2 frt/ 32.5 rr to 40 frt/ 35 rr because stock springs seem too soft. The hunt continues.
