Thanks yeah I've heard of them. They are called "Outwears" in the USA. Looks like a great option to cut down on air filter maintenance. It's not straight forward how to measure for a proper fit, I'm going to call them to discuss how to measure and order the correct cover. For those interested you can find them here...

Yes two motor positions you are correct

Most of us are running in forward position as we are not lacking rear grip and it keeps better mid corner speed as well

Yes heaps of steering

You won't be disappointed in the NB48

Someone posted he had issues with the tubing coming off the nipple inside the tank. Other than that none that I know of.

TeknoRC thought it was a one off, and no one else has mentioned it here. I couldn't fix it. Just ordered a fresh tank. Needed a new one anyway because I didn't cut enough of the pipe wire mount away and it started chewing into the bottom front corner of the tank.

Guys nobody answer my question, do you put thread lock on the flywheel cover screws? Manual did not say, so I'm not sure.

If you're referring to the filler plate that covers the hole under the flywheel, I did not loctite them since the instructions did not call for it. I can't see how a medium loctite would hurt anything though.

I pulled the car apart to clean it. I will check later and let you know if those screws have loosened.

Not needed here, you thread into the plastic and that keeps it in place.

Default Filter Replacement

I think someone here asked about replacement filters. I was trying to wait for Tekno to release theirs but mine was damaged last weekend and I needed to replace it with something. I bought a pair of Protek "DustBuster" OFNA/HoBao air filters. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...o-Air-Filter-2

The inner filter seems identical if not a hair thicker and the outer looks to be a little thinner but this should be a good replacement until Tekno has them available.

Vet wrap. Sure you can find a pic of it on here somewhere. Its about 2 dollars
a roll and last all season. Comes in lots of colors to

Take the long rolls and cut them half. Wrap once around the filter and overlap about 3/4", done. A roll lasts a LOOONG time.
