Also, FYI. We had a AE rep following and supporting us on the AE threads for 2 years before he left AE. =D
Shawn,
I notice theres a lot of scrapes on that spring, or is that dirt?
It takes a lot of force to push the perch into the spring. Was it caused by a crash?
Is it possible perch could be compressed and let the spring push over? Does the spring fit snug on the perch like they do on the other corners?
I would try pulling open up the perch a little and make sure it seats snug on the spring and see if that helps.

I also used to hate shock boots. I always thought they would affect the suspension action etc. After years or running without boots, and no..................
..........Since I always run shock boots now, my shocks do not leak and I only need to rebuild if I want to change something. So, I will never run without them in any condition

Will these shocks caps work with emulsion style ?

On the plastic caps, I had to drill a hole in the top of the cap and there is a bleeder screw/o-ring. I don't see anything like that build in to these caps so I'm wondering if these caps can't be used on an emulsion set-up.

Once I put the nerf bars on the correct sides the air control guards fit perfectly. Looks like they should block a lot of unwanted air from getting under the body. I think a nice option piece of bling would be these guards in carbon fiber! After taking the pics I didn't like how the body could still flop around so I covered the ends of the nerf bar with a strip of Velcro. I think it'll help especially on the big outdoor tracks.

On other things.
- I'm just not sure i'm comfortable paying 25.00$ for a set of pistons. CNC'd or not, I just don't think i'm going to be able to come to justify that price, ever.
- Springs are a littly spendy, but i'm sure more true, set to set than some others...
- Sway's are priced right.
- Your AL is just a smidge over typical pricing.
I know you guys aren't AE, but You've sold thousands of these things now and we 'want' to support you. Thoughts?

One thing you want to keep in mind is Tekno has parts manufactured here in the US and not china, (unlike Losi or AE) which is why their parts have excellent fit, finish and wear but also increase end user price point. Their parts cost way more to produce than the big companies. Also, delrin is a material that is time consuming to machine to tight tolerances, but is the best material for the job. Tekno could have a bunch of plastic pieces punched out but why would they if there was a better quality option? Tekno is dedicated to providing the best possible product from the best possible materials at a fairly reasonable price. I'm a budget racer but I'm always willing to pay more for quality items even if it means waiting longer to get it.

Sure it's been listed here before but lately haven't had much free time to keep up with this thread, whats a good starting point for pinion size for a 4.5 turn 550 can? Obviously track dependent but didn't know if this truck had the same ratio as the scte. Thanks
