ditto. although I think maybe they are refraining from naming dates so people
don't get let down?

For me, if I had not just dropped the wad on a couple other projects; I may have gone with my second or third choices. Hopefully, hear something on this one before I can save and it burns a hole in my pocket

I just pulled the plug on my team durango dex408 and went back to my AE RC8 Tekno v4 conversion until this baby gets here. I already pre ordered and I'm waiting patiently!

I'm in the same situation. I'm driving the Mugen Eco right now and i'm ready to move to another buggy. I need to know if I should hang on to the Mugen (assuming the Tekno will be out in the next month or two) or just go ahead and get my second choice . . .

Perhaps a better question for Blair, but maybe Tekno knows already.
With Blair's last setup using the Castle SC motor, how unbalanced would the car be, and how would power be, doing something like 3S/RX8/Pro4? Would one of the lower kv Pro4's on 3s be putting out plenty for this, or is it better to go with something like a T8 for weight distribution and balance anyway?

Trying to get my electronics figured out while I wait.

I don't know the specifics on the side to side, but Austin used a lighter battery to balance things out and I'm pretty sure the left/right balance is roughly the same as a 4s/5000 with a T8.

Austin was using twin 2s/3800 shorty packs with the 1415/2400kv motor.

Roughly 1840g. It's 3400 ready to go with 600g battery, RX8 system, rx, tires.
battery -600
motor - 350
rx8 - 70
servo - 70
tires - 420
rx - 20
body -50
~1580

3400-1580 = 1820g = just over 4lbs

Dayum! 4wd SC conversion look out! That's almost lighter than my SC10 4x4! Pro4, 2s Lipo, SC8 wheels. Good bye competition.
