Yes a little more neutral in center, but thats the way most other cars are anyway. Move them and readjust the toe in and see the difference. Its the only way to learn how the truck feels. I recently started using the inboard hole in the rear arms for the outer hub. It seems to make the truck rotate more late in the corner.

What are everyone's thoughts on pistons? CSI or Fioroni or Tekno 8x1.3 still having nose dive issue if I don't seriously decelerate before 2 jumps at my track and I've done stiffer springs in back and fluid. The other jumps I can do fine just have to let off throttle and then slam throttle in air to bring her level again, this is 1/8thtrack w big jumps.

After struggling with the screws into the differentials. Is it supposed to be smooth turning or snug?

Hey man- I tried kyosho 1.3x8s and X-rays of the same variety along with stiffer springs. No joy- once I got the Tekno 1.3x8 cnc pistons on the truck with stiffer rear springs it drove perfect. It's really like driving the buggy now- very controllable in the air and zero nose dive. Highly recommend them.

If you're inside the 1k to 10k diff fluid range, it should be smooth but be able to "feel" the gears working into each other, if that makes sense. If it's difficult to turn, you've got something wrong. If it's smooth, that's perfectly fine.

The diff only goes together one way, so if we still have a problem, we need to see INSIDE the diff to troubleshoot for ya.

What springs are you guys running with the 8X1.3 pistons? Just looking for an all around spring.

Ran my trinity sting packs over the weekend and they are beastly! My truck pulled on my buddies Tekno having the same motor/ESC/gearing. He had some smc pack vs my trinity packs. Admittedly his batteries had slightly lower IR but mine hadn't been cycled more than 5 time. I also drove it to lvc which is set to 3.0 per cell on my HW SCT pro, and when I threw it on the charger the cell voltage was 3.2 per cell. The battery held its voltage very well, and when I charged it, it took 7007 mah. Pretty darn impressive!

I'm currently running pink fronts and green rear. Most of the tracks I run on are medium bite with medium size jumps. I think alot of the guy's on here are running green front red rears. I'm would like to try kyo orange fronts with yellow rears I think they would be the ticket for most of the tracks I run on.

Default Summer Scorcher @ Phil Hurd Raceway, GA

Had a great race with the truck yesterday running the Summer Scorcher at Phil Hurd Raceway up in GA.

The truck was great all weekend. I turned the fastest lap of the class and was the only one to turn 11 laps in qualifying.

Thank you for the amazing truck Tekno!!



P.S. Anyone else here have a bin full of spare parts they hardly touch? I changed the air guards and the shock boots just because. Gotta love this thing.

Have you tried the Fioroni or CSI though and what color springs and what weights oil all around?
