The barriers are double stacked 2x4's with strategically placed 2" pipe on the inside sections to allow cars back into the lane of traffic when cars over shoot a landing ramp.

What type of batteries are people using for optimal weight distribution? Brand and MH?

I have ordered the optional C and D block to have correct geometry in the back After raising the rear with the shim provided. Also the optional lower back Tower. Looking forward to test this out on the carpet. The car runs great now with 80k in center, 20k in front and 7k in rear. Running 650 in the rear shocks and 725 in the front. Smoth and lands the jumps real good. Will test tonight to take of the back brace to have more flex in the chassie.

Found my answer on my own went to tekno’s website and looked up replacement parts and they are considered 2 x 1.7mm & 2 x 1.8mm now if I could just understand why the blanks are $20 for 4 & the stock replacement ones are $5 for 4 I’ll be good to go I see the word CNC’d on the blanks but not on stock ones but the stock ones look pretty darn well made if they aren’t CNC’d they are the best dang molded pistons I’ve ever seen

Their CNC and Delrin. Hence the price.

I figured that I was kinda being a smartarse and seriously saying how nice the kit / stock pistons are and there not delrin or machined like when we think of a kits molded pistons, me anyways I think of flashing everywhere and trying my best to make them perfect especially early 2000’s AE kits pistons if anyone remembers them but thanks for input.
Different ? Topic if anyone has a Tekno CF center diff plate and or a Tekno CF steering top plate pm me please thank you even if you only have one and not the other still very much needed well wanted lol

If you're not 100% set on the Tekno CF gear, check out the Diggity options. They even have a center diff plate that doesn't have a fan mount if you prefer running without a fan. I can attest their quality is great as I received their camber link plates and they were top notch

Yea ebb you pointed me that way when I said someone mentioned a company that had some really nice looking stuff. So I emailed them asking if everything I want is in stock before I’d order I don’t know why but there diff w/ fan mount is I think couple $ more then tekno and there steering top plate is a few $ more not sure if its a size of company thing and a bean counter type difference or if diggity is using better CF but my main interest was are the items in stock I went to order from tekno and darned if the steering top plate was out of stock and the shipping charge is I’m sure the same or close weather I’m getting one item or three items there all CF so I’m trying to act my age and be patient but man was I peed off last nite when I went in my cart to add the shock caps and TiNi shafts and it showed that the two plates were out of stock which hey I should’ve just ordered what I had in the cart while they were in stock but I was at Dr appointment and I had a few other items I wanted to get but they sold out before I got my cart filled up. Now the bright side is everything else was in stock and the big bonus was the aluminum caps being in stock and the TiNi shafts were to and those two items are way more important to me then any of the CF parts so kinda of a ying & yang type thing I guess. I’m going to pick up a couple packs of stock pistons to do my experimenting with before I get the blanks but Iam sending a favor question to the delrin master to see if he can make me up a few sets if he does and gives me the go ahead to tell you guys I plan on it but just waiting for some answers at the moment but thank you ebb

Diggity uses quality carbon and is a small, one man production. I worked with him to make the shock towers for the Rapture 4wd SCT I launched almost 5 years ago.

lol no worries man I just thought you might've missed the Diggity mention. I commend you for being patient though, that's one thing I struggle with these days. But for me it's because my health changes on a daily basis so I like to be prepared for the days I'm feeling good My bank account doesn't like this method very much but the smile on my face makes it worthwhile haha.

I hope you get everything you need sooner rather than later though. And who is this Delrin Master? I hope he comes up with some good stuff!

Loving this car so much. Got to run it on a super high bite Astro track for the first time this weekend. Car was so easy to drive. Schumacher darts front and rear.

. Note: picture is of the older hinge pin, thus Phillips head seen , however the new version sold has been updated having the hexed end.

Anyone whom may want aluminum rear hubs these by SWORKZ use the same size inner and outer bearings as the EB410 rear hubs. Same 3mm hinge pin hole as well. Geometry comparison is hard to tell thus I may have to be the Guinea pig and give these a try. I imagine Tekno, Exotek, RDRP etc will produce aluminum rear hubs sometime soon. Until then thought I should share an option that may work. Will advise how they fit and how the geometry compares with the kit composite hubs.
