Tekno pinion that needs to be dremeled to get the set screw in (not sure if this was fixed in production) and a few others. I dont understand how this stuff was not noticed in the testing. Last minute production changes without testing and fitting? I know these axles are a QC issue and not a design issue. I was not referring to that kind of issue. BTW do you still have to dremel the pinion?

I cant seem to find a replacement as the losi is too small and the AE has a lip and there still is no aluminum hex available

I have noted that tightening the nut too much caused the failure of the nut hence the hex broke and my rim also is not stripped

anyone know where I can get a good replacement part for this
thanks

For Tekno to man up and jump right on the problem and publicly announce that some stub axels may have been overhardened is commendable. For them to stand behind their product and offer to "make it right" proves they are a class act and in my estimation sets them a level above the rest of the pack.

I'm just an old man playing with a very expensive toy car, but for what it's worth you have certainly earned my respect!!!

If it's you Virgil - I missed you, man! Start posting about what's been happening in your world.

How does it compare to the losi scte with all the good upgrades? and is anyone running the hobbywing sct 4700 combo and how do you like it compared to tekin (I have a friend begging me to try it). My kit will arive tomorrow
