Last weekend I competed at the January Jam race at Flowood RC in MS and was the only Tekno in the expert buggy class, I ended up with a second place overall and qualified second also even though I had the fastest quailfiers and fastest combined qualifiers but the computer showed me second. The buggy drives absolutely awesome and I have been faster and more consistant with the Tekno than other previous buggies (and I've had most of the other brands). There are two things that I found that the car was very sensitive to, rear anti-squat and front toe. In the beginning my car was very loose when getting on throttle and I fought it until I went up on the anti-squat and it really locked the rear in on throttle. As for the front toe, I run on an indoor track that currently has lots of 180's so I couldn't afford to limit the steering throw so I learned that I could adjust the toe in/out by one degree and it would make all the difference. Now the fuel tank clunk line in the tank, mine fell off the second time on the track and I took an extra piece of fuel tubing and cut a small 1/8 inch piece to make like an o-ring and stretched it onto the end of the fuel line and the took small needle nose pliers and slid it back on the nipple in the tank and 2 gallons later have still not had any other issues. This is a very sold car with excellent quality and durability, it is very adjustable and gives you very good feeback from any adjustment you make. Thanks Tekno for giving us racers a great platform to compete with and look forward to see what other great things you bring to the RC world!
Yeah, yeah, yeah... Just wait until I get a NB48.

Greg is the first local guy to get the nitro buggy and I've been keeping a close eye on him. I know he's made a good amount of setup changes to get it where he is comfortable, but now he has it dialed in.

Here's a pic of some of the Tekno cars that were at January Jam last weekend:
