Happy new year man, looking good!

That's super light-weight, mine weighs over a kg more and I think xmods MP9 buggy even weighs more no? Wonder where Tekno gets those weight savings; chassis is less wide obviously, but that should not make such a huge difference. How much more does your 6S battery weigh compare to that 4S you weighed it with?

Did you decide on the diffs yet? FWIW, I'm going to run 40k rear and 80k front, center stays 2000k as is. Pulled my diffs and my 10k rear appeared to be completely empty, so I thought I'd up it all a bit. The gears did not look that bad at all, although the front ring/pinion have some more irregular wear pattern (more "chippy") compared to rears.

What was a bit more worrying was that 3 out of my 4 outdrives (1x rear, 2x front) had chips off the holes... not sure what to make of that yet. Got my truck used, so maybe they were just over their expiration date (not willing to accept the TP4070 on 6S is too much yet ); I'll try some new outdrives and see how it goes. Very interested in hearing your results!

Gears don't look too bad, front does have some more irregular wear though compared to rear.


Outdrives seem to be less happy: 3 out of 4 (1x rear, 2x front) had chipped-off holes.

Also gonna try some new gearing soon .



Cheers!
