Default fresh paint





My son got an airbrush for Christmas a year ago, he's getting better. I put the stock decals on for the grill and headlights but don't have a picture, makes the front look much better. Now that I have my body I can hit the track.

Default Thanks FastPete

My son works about 50 hours a week as an electrician, surprising how much he's improved in one year without much time to paint.

I still hate the body design, but that paint job looks pretty nice.

It's funny how some hate it and some love it. I think is awesome, so sleak. The front to me looks like a big fist half closed. If it comes up behind you best get the hell out of the way. Just my opinion, I think it's going to kick ass this summer, I can't wait to drop this bad boy on a big track first outdoor race of our year... My plan is to make my buddies that're still driving Losi, AE and Mugen truggies wish they would have jumped ship and went the Tekno way!!! That should stir up some none Tekno lovers. hahahahaha I love this hobby, it's so much fun!!!

I think it looks cool too. I just wish it was a lot thicker. I'll probably switch to the Durango or Agama body for durability reasons.

I reinforced mine in the front but it still looks all beat and cracked up after a few runs. I'd like to see something at least as thick as a Proline Bulldog body or similar.

Default breaks

Would using the disk break setup on the truggy be a good choice or just use the rx8-g2 breaks instead. That a lot of weight to try an stop at the end of the straightaway..
