You out qualified me! Lol. Was a good battle in the Main between you, kris, and myself.

And to report on the truggy, it ran great, felt good, and not a single issue. Out drives are fine also after 4 packs (23 total mins of runtime) plus another 10 mins of practice after racing.

You planning to mount the body to the front with no mods to assist?

Yep. I agree. It looks like this as posted in my Build Tips Thread when you build them to the instructed length.


I didn't measure my change, but I reduced the toe-out significantly.

What tires are you guys running indoors? Not really a lot of options for clay truggy tires.

I'm glad it's not everyone with these outdrive issues on the et48, sucks that I am one of them though LOL. Especially since tekno isn't actually taking care of the ones with the issues properly. It's def better for their business to not have too many upset w/ them for there general practice of 50% discount +shipping both ways for a part that shipped defective. I have not had any issues w/ the gearboxes yet either, hope they don't fail during an a-main or an important race. Guess it's just easier and cheaper to not figure out who was impacted and replace them and hope most just replace on their own w/o pushing for warranty service then if they do charge them for shipping both ways and make them go through the hassle of the return to the point of only saving a 2-4 bucks so they just say heck w/ it and buy one from a lhs works out good for tekno either way $$ wise "short term".

Yes, the RX8 is awesome. I am personally running the 2000kv Gen 2 T8 and I am running a 17T pinion.
