Does anyone know of or has anyone tried putting aluminum hubs on this car....


I know the plastic stuff functions perfectly well.....But I'd love to have aluminum steering blocks and rear hubs!

No aluminum ones available yet. A couple pages back Tekno said that they were "in the works" which usually means not to long of a wait with these guys from what I have seen. So soon you should be able to get your "Bling"

I'd be curious to see what they will come up with for an aluminum hub, wouldn't be surprised if it has more features than just a straight copy of the stock plastic piece.

Got 2nd at this event in sportsman ebuggy.

Congrats!

Cool video, and awesome track.

I'd be interested in your last comment, I'd like to build a super light 1/8 on 3s, is there a better way to do it then the eb48 via the SCT? Please pm me the details!

Rc guy can you post your setup? That track looks absolutely phenomenal! Also what kind of investment did they make to have that track. I would come to Texas just to race on it! Congrats by the way

Is there any chance we can get 1/2 and 1 .5 offset adjustment pills for the hinge pin holders? Right now there is only Center or 1 dot up or 1 dot down. I would like to see adjustment of half that and one and a half times. I think there's plenty of room in the pill to do it. Any chance to get that as an option part tekno?

With all this mucking around on the car I am wondering what's the best way to clean off the blue lock tight residue?

As a matter of fact, you can, (The 1/2, that is.) The latest packages of TKR5021 have the 1/2 pills. We updated the mold so you'll now have an "in-between" setting for fine tuning. The new pill has two dots on it, one centered and the other offset towards the hole location.
As for a 1.5 setting, there's some issues with making those. First you'll start getting very close to the edge of the pills and having thin spots. Second thing is that if you were to run max settings on your car you have a little less hinge pin engagement inside the pill which could cause it to pop out under extreme situations. Lastly, again when running a max setting, you could introduce some mechanical binding in the suspension movement. Also, I'm not sure when you'd really need that extra 1/2 degree, with the optional 1.5 toe block you should be good.

Yea the full out option pills would be awesome . the xray xb4 has a square pill with like 5 different pills that allowed 17 different setting also avid made some custom offset ones for the 8.2 that I had . they were nice .

I have a question for the guys running the +1.5 rear hinge pin brace. Are most running with the dot in the middle(4* of toe)? Anyone tried 5*? Thanks for your help.

Well half good news!!! What about making the 1.5 out of machined delrin? WOuld make them tougher so the thin area is less of a concern.

As far as poping out and the binding you mention... How would that be any different than running 4 degrees using the +1.5 block? As a matter of fact you can get up to 5 degrees with that block so it would be even worse. No difference if the pin is angled with holes in the pills or where the pill is positioned with the toe block. Still the same offset of front to rear hole.

Good point there . I have noticed my ff pills getting a little sloppy and starting to mushroom out toward the arm on my sons car . I know the pills have to be a little soft to allow for pin deflection but it holes were drilled slightly angled it would help a stiffer plastic to handle the tweek
