3. On Amain I see some Exotec making "heavy duty" parts. Are these stronger or just altenatives?
4. Exotek Camber saver? Is this a replacement or go over the existing
5. In the manual it says use longer screws in the bulkhead block. Anyone done this?
6. I have a bent shock shaft - do any other brands or models fit this shock. Not a whole lot of suppliers of Tekno locally, I wanted to band aid until I can get a new one.
1: yes the titanium turnbuckles will be stronger. The stock steel isn't of very high quality.
2: rear weights are just a tuning option that some people prefer. I believe it is to help plant the rear end better on certain surfaces but I feel no need for it on our clay track.
3: the heavy duty part that exotek makes is indeed a bit beefier so should be stronger but I've seen no need to replace that part with anything stronger.
4: this replaces the existing one and adds material to help prevent bulkhead breaks.
5: yes most that have been with the kit early on have been told to add those screws to strengthen the bulkhead.
6: no shafts that I know of to fit. It's 3.5mm diameter so might be a stretch.
