The new a-arms look like a production part which of course requires new molds. I doubt they'd spend the $$$$$$$$$$$ required for new molds if it wasn't a for sure deal. The only thing that still looked to be prototype phase are the front c-hubs and spindles. Those are still aluminum.

you guys aren't taking into consideration all the extra stuff that goes into producing a new kit though. Parts aside, they still have to do all the literature, cover art, setup testing to offer a base line, plus they have to produce enough inventory to actually be able to sell them. Will there be a new kit? Yes. There will ALWAYS be a new kit. That's just evolution.
I'm just saying don't put a date on it yet. And yes I know you can get the parts and slap them on, which most of us will do

There is just so much space allowed, and you don't want to go taller than designed because it would put your steering link an an inefficient angle, if it will work at all. Don't try spacers on the servo saver side, as it doesn't work out well, and will produce too much slop.

If it's too tall, you need to choose a different servo.

But I had to use spacers with a standard height servo on the saver's side to fit it on top of the horn, I guess that's a fault of Savox servos, but there really isn't room for anything else but standard sized servos on these Tekno kits :
Wouldn't spacers solve that though ?

I wonder if that servo is tall above the mounting ears compared other servos. Also, using a low mount servo horn would help as well. The Tekno horns lower the link quite a bit. http://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr5251b...p-double-hole/

Cheers, I ordered different servos that should fit.

Thank you, ordered. Wish I've tried that before mangling one of the collars on a brand new servo (entirely my fault):

what advantage are the tekno vehicles seeing by running the chub setups still versus the pivot ball that others are doing?

I'd really like to see what a Kysoho / HB style c-hub front suspension could do on a narrow chassis car like the Tekno. I'm not sold on the Tekno / TLR style c-hub. It's just too edgy.

Official Polish National Championship - my Tekno takes 3rd place. Tough weekend, bad weather, different conditions every hour - was a lot of fun! Fought hard, missed just a few seconds for the top spot.
I had no single issue for the whole season with this buggy. Amazing car.
