It's funny. The two guys on the forum that are hardest on their RC's (majin and Lostinthewoods66) both bought Tekno's at the same time. We're about to put the Tekno durability claims to the test boys!

You noticed i inquired about spare parts availability first?

Yeah, but I am betting you'll find the Tekno's will take a bit more abuse to break than you're used to. Did you look at the A-arms? They are built pretty damned tough.

Yeah it looks like a tank for sure!

I've watched vids where they sent the MT410 30' in the air, and they crash, and it just keeps going. I will be anxiously awaiting your test runs with it to see how she holds up. If you break it, I would tend to think you accomplished something not many others have regularly

Put that Raptor body on there for showin, and grab the Bronco body for goin. Or vice versa.

So I assume you already ordered the Trenchers? I have done a little more looking around and a few people seem to recommend the Backflips that @Littlemotor recommended.

Do you think they will be too much traction or not enough? It’s pretty much just gonna run on grass

Heavy, not as much traction, not as much action.

“Square” profile tires aren’t the best option for a monster truck that’s gonna get driven, and punished. They sell well, and look good, but honestly that’s it.. The backflips flat out perform, annnnnnnnd look good doing it to boot.. Also, the “in air” manners are just tremendous. If you put both on your truck, and ran a pack through each back to back-I’d bet my paycheck you’d never use the prolines again.. and they’ll be WAY easier on your driveline, and bearings..And not at all pissing on your stuff, just explaining as you wanted to know what the dealio is…

There’s a solid plan!

And yessir-they’re recommended for good reason for sure.

DEFINITELY.

Ultimate Racing makes some nice ones in every color under the sun… Beach RC carries all of ‘em. I used to run the OFNA countersunk washers back in the day, but here lately it’s been Ultimate, Team Brood (@ Amain), and Tekno. Be sure to buy stock in proper flathead screws in the correct sizes to accompany that order.. nothing looks worse than a button head in there…

M3 and M4 is the screw size. M3 will fit any 3mm flathead screw.

Note: metric and standard flathead machine screws have a different countersink angle. Metric is always 90°, and imperial is 82°.

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Well now what

Need to get this I guess
