It doesn't cost me much more to just buy the good parts, and then I have piece of mind and I don't have to miss run time.

I've come to terms with what to expect for customer service w/ Tekno. My brand new Tekno ET48 has outdrives that show more wear after a few hours of use (visible cups) than my losi parts did after a full year of racing. The best Tekno would do is make me rip my vehicle apart, leaving me w/o a vehicle, pay to ship them the defective (new) part, then they will give me a 50% credit for more new parts to replace the defective new parts and yes I also get to pay them to ship me my parts as well. Good stuff.
