It’s all good Mark.. some of us still have to buy used due to keep inside our budget lol. But keep pushing man get on the track soon as you want. It’ll feel a lot better because you know everything is within working condition. Oh and don’t think we missed you saying the new car is coming soon😂. I’ll be waiting to buy a spare NB and EB when the prices for last gen drop

What rc stand do you use?

I feel ya Mark. I bought a EB48.4 last year at the TOP end of used pricing. When it came in, the chassis was cracked during shipping. Seller paid for half a new one, but I put the car on the shelf until Southern Nats since it was a spare. During Southern Nats I started tearing it apart. The outdrives were tore up, the pivot balls were ovalized, the D plate was worn like yous......I was so pissed I threw it in a box and finally just sold the box to a friend for $30 so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore.

Also my hinge pins he had in looked like they were ground with sand for 2 months and never cleaned.

Wow i feel your frustration ! but keep the good work up !

Sounds like me talking about my UDR. "I've had it with this car" haha. 1 hour later I'm at the hobby shop buying parts again for it ...

I got a Animus mt 18 with a velineon 6s brush-like no other. What a blast for such a small RC. Maybe you should look at them super fun.

Did you try loosing the bottom of the shock just a 1/4 turn? My brand new one was the same way. Loosened it some and it never leaks and is smooth as butter. Garuntee that will fix it bro.

That sucks ☹️ brah, that poor Tekno.

I got the same thing buying a used hpi trophy truggy 4.6 I got it at a bargain price but it had issues I'll be more careful in the future or just buy new

Mine are doing the exact same thing I rebuilt mine to the point of cleaning them and putting new oil in them and I even polished the shaft and it’s still sticking at the top and when it’s down it comes up nice and smooth but when it’s at full extension it’s sticking pushing me off Mugen is all hype I should of just bought a Arma and put a censored system and new survo

I found roofing screws in my tekno sct 410.3 holding the front bumper down. Had to replace the front diff case. But I traded a shitty serpent srx2 chassis for this. So in my mind score! Always expect to have to refurbish any used rc

What part number is thebupgraded standoffs?

hope you can get it back together soon to see you break in that engine (; just playing. just going to do the traxxas method and start boggin deep lol

I don't know that chassis so I don't have any idea what you might have spent, but, ouch. I'll bet you are learning something about the overall design and maybe better understand what some of the design flaws are that allowed things to get to this point?

Good things ain’t cheap, cheap things ain’t good..🤣

Especially since dude wrenched everything stupid tight!!! Hand tight is more than enough for the bodies on the nb48.4. Learned the hard way myself

Just purchased a used eb48.4 lol... It's not here yet but now I'm nervous! Dang!

Same story with my used e truggy guy tightened the shocks like a gorilla and also made them look like crap.

Lol cool video thx

The shock body is damage. The tekno plastic is not that great. I got 3 cars the plastic is not like kyosho or hotbodies. When you tighten down on there's you know it

Bro it's not a big deal... Sometimes you lose money , the next time around , you save money..... It all balances out... A month later , you're not worrying about money you shouldn't have sent because you keep making more.... Drive that shit and enjoy it . Lots of people want what you have , that you're complaining about .

People need to hear that topic. They want gold for clapped out copper.

2.0 time baby

Whats new its new

Thats normal for used cars

Used and raced never go together lol always buy new people get rid of things when problems occur

Lol. Sorry bro. Cracking me up though.

bro seriously thats what you get when you buy second hand there is always going to be something that aint right, and to be fair people who over tighten screws have no idea there over tightening them, anyway hope you get it all sorted it just the nature of the beast when you buy used.

should of bought a used mugen. lol

Don't see any of these things as a problem tbh. Sounds like racing driver excuses.

More views, LOL.... I guess it’s true that misery loves company. 😛 But that’s all right man. Keep Diggin.

I thought u run for Tekno bud?

I’d put it together and sell it.

??? I thought you build and fix your own cars bro what happened did you get it from someone else sorry I guess I’m not follow the entirely history of that rig dude??
