Sorry about that. Alot of us have been tekno for so long we assume that people know that part and forget about it. I actually buy them in 10 packs off ebay so I always have them in my box. This has helped with nitro's several times in the pits to bypass bad on\off switches.

Yup, see my original post

The nice thing about the 1268 is I can run it in any car/truck. 10th or 8th. I don't have to have different stuff for nitro buggy, different for 10th, etc.

I stopped running a switch like 7 years ago. The only one I'd consider is the Ko, but at its price I'm good on ec2

Wanted to share some feedback on some changes/new parts. Mark was using our new HRC hubs TKR5199B and low frequency springs TKR8767 TKR8763 available through your local hobby shop or online.

I tried searching and didn't find the exact answer.

I'm struggling with off power steering (or just getting through a corner tight vs taking it wide)

I used the Joe Bornhorst setup but I have gotten so far away from that that I'm not sure what to call it.

I am using 7/7/5 in the diffs and I believe 425/ 475 in the shocks. The car just won't turn into the corner, I can't comment if its getting out of the corner well because I have to go so slow to setup for the exit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Whats the surface your running on. Is it loose, dusty low grip, medium grip and jumps sizes. Maybe try going down in diff oils. I run 5/5/3 on a dusty low grip track and get great turn in and out of corners with 2 degrees camber with 1 degree toe on the front.

I have the same issue on low grip tracks. I've tried every combination of diff oils from crazy light to stupid heavy and it just doesn't rotate like my other car does. I have the new hubs but haven't had a chance to run them just yet.

I was having that issue also. Removed both swaybars and it helped allot. Also reduce rear toe.

How much did you reduce it by? My rear toe inserts are currently 2 dots facing in. Which I think is 2deg of toe.

shortening the wheelbase will also help the car rotate.

I agree, but on this car it also has negative side effects. Sliding the hubs forward increases the dog bone plunge and makes the rear too stiff under power. I have to run it back a bit to keep it from getting kicked around real bad through bumps that are hit under power.

The new hubs help reduce mid to exit roll. Basically allows you to get on the throttle sooner. We recommend these for every track type. Allows you to drive the car harder out of a corner.
