I think I would go with the Tekno kit personally...

thanks squee.... didn't even know tekno made a kit until now. so far, the FLM kit is only for the rear.

i'll go with tekno's when they become available...although i doubt they'll be much cheaper than FLM's. man, all cvd's are probably the 3rd most expensive thing after a motor and esc.

No problem man...I've been thinkin on getting a Slash 4x4 myself, so I've been doing my homework.

I just checked out the Tekno kit. It steps up to 6mm stub axles and bigger bearings. Of course, this means the kit includes new hub carriers and steering blocks. I bet it is gonna be pricey. I think it will be worth the wait though.

crap. you're right. well, so much for 1/2-3/4 of my aluminum PE bling, lol

Yeah, but just seeing what they have planned, this is on my must have list.

agreed. my old UE supermaxx had the same design - the thing was bulletproof. definitely over-engineered for strength. i'm just worried about the potential huge price tag due to the kit. i just got on the mailing list to be notified when they're in stock....we'll see.

Ok, so I'm officially obsessed with these things. I have a 3rd that should be on the way shortly.

:yipi:

you didn't happen to snag the other one on RCG, did you? if so, you got deal of the year. i got 2nd place. :whistle:

I guess not. Mine is coming from a guy on rctech. PE with AKA adapters and 3 - 3S PolyQuest 25C 4400mAh packs.
