Never thought about a monster truck until I the Teckno cam out. Love the idea of having a monster basher that also can easily handle running 8th scale tracks. What KV motor are peps liking?
Well, it's a 1/8 Buggy with long arms and massive shoes/tires. Truly a few more parts to be honest. Tekno is not the first to do this or have a buggy/truggy Monster Truck conversion. ARRMA has done this for a few years now. Based on the Team Durango 8 scale lineup. In RTR form, but prior to these. Others were doing custom builds. Myself included, with an RC8.2-MT and RC8T-MT conversions still in my fleet of RC's. In short these conversions have been around for awhile.
The reason for that. Is that truggies and buggies perform and handle like no other. That's why they are the product of choice to race. But more over the idea of having a truggy or buggy to handle rougher terrain other than a smooth track like surface and yet keep its race like characteristics ha's been the goal to achieve for some time now.
Tekno has provided and absolute beast of of kit. One that will for sure be a go to product for quality and performance. Yet provide incredible durability.
Monster Truck racing was a big thing in the 90s but died off. With this Tekno MT410 and others alike from other companies. We may see MT racing again at a Local Track near you.
As for the Motor KV. Most are using a 1900kv -2200kv
