First hand experience w/ losi's electric conversion vs tekno (8ight is v1)

[js058515]

Stum, I can't answer your question on which setup I would prefer as I don't have experience with the Losi conversion but I do agree with you on the quick wear of the long shank pinions.

One suggestion I have for you though, you should take your new Race Roller 1.0 and get the Tekno 2.0 buggy kit and the 2.0 rear drive shaft make yours a 8ight 1.5, that's what I did. The battery tray is even lower and you will notice additional steering as Tekno moved stuff a little more forward. Just a suggestion for you that a lot of us Tekno users are doing. You may have already considered this, if not you won't regret it.
