I have found that the car is very sensitive to ride height and droop, might be able to do some fine tuning with that. for more off power you can increase a little rear droop to dump some more weight on the nose. this will have little effect on the rest of the car.

Attended a race this past weekend in Mayfield, Kentucky. It was their annual "Race for a Cure", of which all proceeds go to cancer research.
Used:
Tekno NB48 (first time driving a Tekno)
Lutz WE engine
Lutz 2107 pipe
Buku composite shoe clutch
Setup the buggy as per Mo's sheet with a few minor front end adjustments (the track was super slippery)
Initial impressions:
Drive train is super smooth. Rivals my MP9.
Acceleration is incredible.
Will turn inside a Mugen MBX7
Jumps and lands well. No Kyosho double bounce.
Extremely durable. Many people were breaking A arms landing after the large triple jump.
Used a Go Pro camera for attached You Tube video. My internet connection is very bad, thus can not tell how the video turned out. Any body had any success with a good head mounted video camera, please let me know.

glad the setup was working. and more impressed someone needed more steering from one of my set ups! lol

Point is, looks really good, just need a little more tweaking/setup/tires for me.

The Ions seem to be a bit more streamline for helmet/head mounting than the GoPros but I've never used one so I cant comment on performance. Tough to beat the GoPro though; they have a simple head strap.

I'm pretty sure posts are sitting in their holes, and i don't have truggy at all =) Clearance between tank and chassis is normal(3-5mm approx.), so my posts definitely buggy ones.

Another one scary pic. Top lid of new tank after 5min run:
Thread on lid was stripped wit pressure nose causing leak and tuning issues of course. I had left tank lid from prev 'revised' tank before throwing it away, so no problems here. Spent some time and made two normal tanks from all parts i have
