my 2 cents - 07.10.2010, 03:21 PM

i agree with a couple things here. i love Tekno kits but here are some "updates", that if made, i think would make them perfect.

1. as Stum said, shorten the ESC mount. we all have been shaving them down so they sit a lot lower anyway why not just change the design so they are produced to sit 1/4"-3/8" high.....instead of 1" off the chassis.

2. the mudguards need to extend further up toward the nose of the chassis to keep dirt out. i always modify my tekno mudguards with a piece of lexan or plastic to cover that gap you get. it seems like a simple design mod could be made so that the mudguards are still compatible with all the V3 kits yet do a better job of keeping dirt and mud out of the chassis. also, make them taller at the front end, like most factory mudguards are.

anyway, those are two mods i make to every tekno conversion i do. i also usually mod my chassis so that i can use a RCM battery tray as i prefer those. i love the tekno design in that i can use mech brakes and clutch/traktion drive so i start with their kit and make some mods to my preference.

i am sure Tekno has a lot of insight into what could make their kits better as they have more experience with them than any of us. i just think if Tekno is doing these mods also why not make the adjustments in production so everyone can benefit from these improvements.

keep up the great work, Tekno!
