Tekno support.. this is a funny thread since when they call you don't actually get Ne

Devilmanak, I don't want to go trading insults on here and I'm glad you've overcome your issues with a little adaptation, albeit one that shouldn't have been necessary.
I am however intrigued by your comment concerning my ability to use loctite, presumably this has only ever been an issue effecting us lesser mortals? I don't race in the pro class but a number of people have experienced the problem of the CVD centre pins snapping and falling out in two halves. Possibly due to us being too harsh on our transmissions?, at least 3 different manufacturers produce retainers for these pins which I doubt they would do without good reason. I've never actually had one snap yet so by fitting them perhaps I've succumbed to listening to the scare mongers and fixing a problem that doesn't actually exist?
Anyway as I said I'm glad you've overcome the problem concerning the screws, which buggy/truggy did you convert and what set up are you running? I went with the 1515-1Y in my 8T with the MGM 16025 esc and Thunder Power Extreme V2 cells and so far I'm pretty impressed, seems to have better drive than my nitro through the turns.

I learned a long time ago to not post when irritated with something/someone, unfortunately I don't apply that knowledge all the time. :)
After some coutersinking, things are shaping up nicely, 8-32 bolts in the Losi parts, supplied metric stuff in the Tekno stuff.
I don't think I have heard of the cvd pins breaking, I know there are retainers made as you said to keep them from coming loose, but that problem is the same with any brand. (Pins coming loose and falling out.) The Losi hardware is SOOOOO small that it cannot be really tightened as much as with other brands. (Heat shrink on cvd joints is nothing new.) M2C and GMK recognized that the Losi ones come out easier and came up with solutions.) I ran both the M2C and GMK retainers, when checking/cleaning the joints never had one come loose. It is just nice to know that you are safe using retainers, and I like the way the GMK boots keep dirt out/lube in the joint.

That looks a lot neater, I've got to wait a day or so before I can do mine as the local hardware store only had metric countersink bit's so I've had to order one.
Enjoy your racing, hopefully a bit more now you haven't got the worry of screw heads standing proud, I hate that as I'm always afraid they're going to get ripped out. Fortunately I haven't got to run mine before it will be done.
