I just got this info from by friend Daniel from Tekno RC. This is a really sweet setup for all the nitro guys looking to go electric (Mamba Monster Max? ;) ). I think they’ve got a real winner here.

Not just another ‘conversion’, the Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit is a total electric transformation! Featuring the first commercially available 1/8th scale electric specific chassis along with Tekno RC’s innovative patent pending Elektri-Clutch system. This is the kit everyone has been waiting for:

  • Factory Finish – hard anodized chassis, black anodized and injection molded components
  • 4mm 7075-T6 CNC hard anodized chassis – only the best, no stamping here
  • No extra holes, no drilling, no mods – designed for electric racing by electric racers
  • Patent pending Elektri-Clutch system to tune the power delivery of the hottest brushless motors. No more mod1 pinions to buy or strip. Our hardened steel clutchbells will last and last because the motor is disengaged from the drivetrain off power rather than slapping back and forth with the spur gear.
  • Patent pending 1-piece motor mount/heatsink fully supports your motor and provides superior cooling under the most rigorous conditions. Need more cooling? Slap a 40mm fan on the integrated fan mount
  • Mechanical brakes with front/rear brake bias provides world class handling while lowering operating temps and easing the stress on your motor, ESC, and drivetrain
  • Optimized left-to-right and front-to-rear weight balance – battery is as close to center as possible for the best handling of any electric 1/8th scale on the market
  • Included radio tray keeps the wires neat and features an integrated transponder mount
  • Low CG battery tray keeps the battery protected while allowing the most height clearance of any setup on the market
  • Proven tough Tekno RC battery strap system WILL protect your batteries and will NOT break
  • Servo mounts feature integrated cable guides to keep your servo wires neat and away from hazardous moving parts
  • Includes full Tekno RC Elektri-Clutch setup – adapter, compact flywheel, collet, clutch nut, clutch shoes, clutch spring, clutch bell and bearings, an unbeatable value
  • Custom chassis mud guards keep the dirt away and finish off the factory quality kit
  • Tekno RC – No compromises!

Kit includes:

  • 1/8th Scale Electric specific 4mm CNC machined and hard anodized 7075-T6 chassis
  • Patent pending motor mount (available for 36mm or 44mm motor diameters)
  • Complete Tekno RC Elektri-Clutch system – adapter, compact flywheel, collet, clutch nut, clutch shoes, clutch spring, 13t clutch bell and bearings
  • Low CG battery tray w/ battery straps
  • Radio tray w/ integrated transponder mount
  • Servo mounts w/ integrated wire guides
  • Chassis mud guards
  • Additional rear chassis brace

“Gil Losi Jr., Ryan Lutz and Jimmy Wright of Kyosho were testing AKA’s latest 1/8-scale tires. You would expect them to say good things about the tires, and they say they’re going faster with the new treads than with anything else. Lutz and the gang were testing the tires at Revelation Raceway after testing the tires at two other SoCal hot spots.” [Source - neobuggy.net]

“A nice cool Dry Season night saw some hot and fast action take place on the track in the fourth round of the 2008 Points Series, with Xray driver Gary Bui taking the Round 1 win ahead of Gavin Newman – Xray and Marc Christianson – Losi in third. Round 2 saw Skip Jackson – HN X1CR take the round win with an awesome drive ahead of Gavin Newman again in second and Marc Christianson unable to break through in the early rounds finishing in third, with John Chau – Kyosho in fourth and Gary Bui rounding out the Top 5. Round 3 again had the two Xray drivers Gary Bui and Gavin Newman battling out for the round win with Gary taking the top spot with Neil Ingram – MBX5R third, Tam Bui – Xray fourth and Marc Christianson fifth.” Read More… [Source - Tony Knauth @ ocrraceway.com]
