Awesome build bro! I have a Tekno on my table that I haven't run in a bit... haven't even thought of modifying it till now... "thumbsup"

Thanks man! I gotta go back in and fix a few things and probably switch out the electronics but it runs pretty well.

Nice looking build,

I'm going to switch over to a Monster X and castle sensored 1512 1800kv. I think the selectable drag brake would be perfect for this. While I'm in there I have to shim the diffs and I'm going to fully lock all 3. Bam!

I think this has potential for something... LOL.

So it appears Associated has the same idea(ish) as you... "thumbsup"

Re: Rjohns Tekno U4/crawler "Dark Side"

Almost. Wish they did something else to it to separate it from the RC8. I guess it's just a typical rebodied current car just like all the manufactures do.

Wondering if they left the center diff in or locked it out? I like the cage design tho.


But holy smokes! How did I miss your conversion. That thing looks sweet and the cage work is perfect!

99% there. I think I'm going to rework the rear shock mount eventually but it'll do for now. I have some more springs on order that are a little heavier then what I have here since it weighs about 13lbs

Holy smokes!!! I think you need a TQ for that!....thing not a castle!

Great looking truck John! I've been peeking here for a couple months, hoping to find more pictures, info...maybe video
I've also had a Tekno sct410.3 sitting on the shelf for a while. I bought it for my son because he was getting in to racing at a local track. Then a few weeks after we got it all put together the track closed. So I made it into something fun!

Running Mamba Monster X and Gool 2000kv motor. 3s ...and carefully 4s. (On 4s it'll do an easy standing backflip on pavement)
This thing is fast and a blast! It jumps and lands better than any RC I've owned...it's so lightweight and smooth.

Awesome! Glad I'm not the only one to hack up a perfectly good Tekno!
