this would seem ideal.
is there an official reason that one cap can't do it all ?


on another note.. besides for adjustability is there any other reason to convert from v1 a, b, c, & d blocks to the V2 ?

Yes, because on emulsion style, the seal is on the bottom of the shock cap to below the threads on the body. With bladder style, the bladder seals the top of the shock cap to the top of the body. This is important because you drill a bleeder hole into the side of the threads for bladder style. If the same cap is used for emulsion, it no longer has a secure rubber seal from letting air into the shock. The hole in the side of the cap just has a couple of threads above it.

Cool thanks ,thought so but was not sure.

Interesting....I'll stick with the bleeder hole. It gives true venting instead of attempting to vent through a fairly close fitting eyelet.

This is how I vent mine. I also turn the cap so the hole is towards the center of the car to help keep dirt and dust out.

That is what I did i used the vent hole an the hole in the middle of shock
So I will see how that works,thanks for all the comments great info.

Well shocks are done i thought the ones on my pro sc was big this thinks are huge,i measured for re bound on all 4 but was kinda hard with the rubber boot on.

Hello everyone, Anyone running the Novak 4phd/Crusher combo?

So I tried using the plastic servo horn. (I had an aluminum on hand) The plastic horn lasted 2 battery packs before it stripped the splines. What a joke. Why even include that in the kit?

Hey bigguyJT ,i was looking at the same combo , look at my post over at rc short course , under moter combo , if u got a second.
NOVAK CRUSHER BALLISTIC 550 4X4 SCT BL SYSTEM (2-3S) NVK3086 this is the one i was looking at,

I finally had some time to start building mine after work last night, got everything done except for the shocks. I'll get those tonight. I must say that this is the best kit I have ever built. The pakaging is organized and neat and each step uses the entire bag of coordinated parts. Everything fits perfectly, even the screws screw in smooth and effortlessly. This is is my 3rd Tekno build and definitely wont be my last. The LCG motor mount makes it pretty hard to get the motor in but it's not impossible. I'm going to run mostly the stock setup except for 5k front diff and Trifex pistons with 35f/32.5r and go from there. Can't wait to get this thing on the track and compare it to my first gen.

You could save a bit of money by just buying the Tenshock 550 4pole. Its the same exact motor, Novak is just rebranding them.
Better to give you something rather than nothing. they could include all 3 aluminum horns, but that would add a significant amount to the cost. Then people would complain the price is too high because they supply 2 extra horns you don't need.

i have a set of these to play with, have your tried them in your v1 or is this your first time using them ?



.. if i upgrade towers, arms, hubs and spindles on my v1 do the links need to be changed as well or are the links the same v1 & v3 ?

You could re-use the links from the V1, the .3 has links and ends that are just smaller in diameter.

much appreciated. i grabbed one of pete's upgrade packs and just wanted to be sure it was everything i needed.
