Now that is one sexy looking Buggy! What the heck am I to do with my tricked out Tekno D8 now!

Now we just need tekno to make a sct based on that platform

Plastic spur? Please, at the least make an aftermarket metal gear available. Yeah, I'm probably in the minority I know. But I will buy if you make it

This machine looks legit

It will be my next 1/8 e-buggy.

Tekno says they have been testing, so I trust them when they say it has stood up to the abuse. Everything looks great. I will say the turnbuckles looked a little thin for 1/8 scale, but time will tell.

Stuff I really like:

• Smart chassis and geometry design
• Straight center drive shaft
• looks easy to work on with low screw count
• integrated mudgaurds with electronics mounting
• all components centered with super narrow chassis
• shocks look and feel top notch
• super low CG
• nice looking motor mount that keeps the motor and pinion centered in the mount
• use either direct drive or Tekno tracktion drive or clutch system
• mechanical brakes can be used with a nice integrated servo mount in the mud gaurd

And here are the pics:





Great stuff, and it was nice talking to the Tekno guys

Well done on what I would call a true 1/8 electric buggy that was well thought out and designed from the ground up without any nitro influence on layout.

Hope we can find a super short sensor wire.

Looking good! I'm a bit weary since its a totally new car from Tekno, but I have faith in them. I'll maybe wait a few months after release to see if there are any other bugs to be worked out.

Goodness that thing is SECKSIE!!!!

That buggy looks fantastic. It's going on my "want" list, for sure.

WOW, I'm sold! Sign me up for pre-order! accepting team drivers? ( sorry had to ask. LOL) BTW are those 16 or 17mm shocks?



Danny and crew, you guy's have came a long ways since we met back in 09 at Rev for the Roar race. I'm proud of you guys!

Must buy.

for shure this is the best possible layout.

I previously asked in PM, and was told they are always looking to expand. I then sent an email out. Unfortunately I never did get a reply back Good luck if you do.

16mm.

There is a write up from Austin Blair on the amain hobbies blog regarding the testing he has done with the car. He says he has raced it with a Castle power system designed for the 4X4 short course trucks. Any chance of releasing it in SC form? It would be nice to have a reliable truck based on 1/8 drive train parts.

Got a question, how will the layout look like with the mech brakes? I noticed you guys have gone for a key/slot motor mount and I believe this may interfere with the front/rear brake discs if there were to be mech brakes.

The previous Tekno conversions used a longshank pinion for clearance.

Take a look at the picture, behind the battery is a mounting point for a brake servo, just add a diff center diff mount, throw on discs, and brake cams. Bam ya got brakes!
